Remembering Michael Althoff A Krater RC Legacy

On this special episode of RCU Radio, we look back and remember our interview with Michael Althoff who, alongside his brother, helped create the Krater RC experience.

Michael and his brother brought something truly special to the RC racing community, and their appearance on RCU Radio was filled with the wit, humor, and personality that made them so memorable. As we revisit this conversation, we celebrate the laughter, the stories, and the passion for the hobby that Michael shared with all of us.

Today, we remember Michael not only for what he helped build, but for the joy and smiles he brought to those around him. His impact on the RC community will not be forgotten, and his memory will live on through the people he touched and the hobby he loved.

From all of us at RCU Radio, our thoughts are with Michael’s family, friends, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Rest in Peace, Michael. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the legacy you leave behind. You will be missed.
