About West Auckland Radio Control Car Club

An off-road radio control car club at 42 Bancroft Crescent in Glendene, West Auckland. Its purpose-built track is for 1/10 and 1/8 scale cars, electric or nitro, and the venue also has a dedicated rock crawling arena. The club has been on this site since the late 1980s or early 1990s, and started in the mid-1980s at other West Auckland locations. Beginners and experienced racers are welcome. Membership applications for 2026 are open. Visitors can come along to an open day or a race day to try it out, and newcomers can enter the Open Class if they are not sure what car to bring. The track is member-only for entry.

Customers say the members are friendly and helpful, and that the track is regularly maintained. One describes the group as a really nice bunch, and another says the racing and crawling are great fun. One visitor warns that the site is a little isolated, with nothing within walking distance, including toilets, so it is worth arriving prepared.
