Our friends at LIVE RC.com decided to donate 100% of all new Bonus Lap membership fees in the month of June to a reputable (non political) charity that supports social equality and the Black lives matter movement. We feel it is critical to support to our Black viewers, friends, employees, and family of the RC community.
This is not an anti-police statement. This is not a statement in support of violent riots. This is a humanitarian statement. At Hobby Media we totally support the LIVE RC initiative and we hope that this will help to make the RC community as inviting as possible for anyone passionate about our hobby.
