THE RICK CHENG STORY
A life in
small-scale racing.
Cars bring us to the track. Curiosity keeps us coming back. Explore Rick’s racing journey through photographs, trophies and personal milestones.
RICK CHENG / RICK RC STUDIORacer. Maker. Fellow enthusiast.
Rick RC Studio brings together Rick Cheng’s racing archive and an accessible introduction to miniature motorsport. The guiding idea is simple: creativity and understanding can deliver more enjoyment than an endless list of upgrades.
The supplied record spans events in the United States, China, Japan, France and the United Kingdom. His photographs capture early podiums, international race weekends and recent UK Open cars.
An independent 2025 Atomic BZ5 review by The RC Racer thanks Rick Cheng for supplying the kit and describes his involvement with a Bristol micro RC raceway. This is a documented community connection; the guides on this site are editorial learning resources, not claims of Rick’s unpublished personal setups.
