Tucked along the Bypass Road in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, a vision became a landmark. Mudace RC Park proudly holds a title no other venue in the Philippines can claim: the country's first outdoor public RC park — and it shows in everything from the handbuilt crawler course to the iced coffee waiting for you at the café.
A Dream Built From Scratch
Mudace RC Park didn't start with a blueprint from a developer or a corporate playbook. It started with one simple question: what if RC hobbyists in the Philippines had a real outdoor space built just for them?
The answer took the shape of a park in Urdaneta City — a winding crawler course lit by warm string lights, surrounded by bamboo obstacles, stone formations, wooden bridges, and miniature diorama elements that make every run feel like a proper off-road adventure. It was built by hand, shaped by passion, and opened to the public in 2025.
From day one, the mission was clear: make the RC hobby accessible — not just to experienced scale crawlers, but to beginners, children, and families who have never held a transmitter in their lives.
What the Track Looks Like
Seen from above, Mudace looks like someone took the idea of an RC trail and turned it into a proper destination. The crawler course winds across the entire outdoor area, looping past handcrafted obstacles that challenge drivers of every skill level.
- Wooden plank ramps and bridges — steep elevated crossings that demand precision throttle control and good suspension articulation
- Bamboo log terrain — winding sections of tightly packed bamboo that reward slow, deliberate driving
- Rope suspension bridge — a fan-favorite obstacle where scale crawlers inch across a swaying span above a grass pit
- Rock crawling sections — natural river stones arranged into proper rock garden terrain for side-hilling and technical climbs
- Log tunnels and hollow tree sections — immersive diorama-style features that make your crawler look like it belongs in a real trail photo
The entire course is outdoors, fully lit at night with warm Edison-bulb string lights, making it equally great for an evening session after work or a weekend family outing. The atmosphere after dark — rigs glowing under warm lights while families watch from the sides — is genuinely hard to put into words.
RC Rentals — No Rig? No Problem
One of the things that sets Mudace apart from private RC spots and club-only tracks is the rental program. You do not need to own an RC crawler to enjoy the park. Mudace provides rental units so that complete beginners, visiting families, and curious first-timers can jump straight into the action without any upfront gear investment.
This is the kind of access the hobby needs more of in the Philippines — and it is baked into Mudace's original mission of making RC recreation available to everyone, not just collectors and enthusiasts who have been in the hobby for years.
Mudace Coffee — Brew, Trail, Bond
The park experience does not stop at the crawler course. Mudace runs its own café on-site — Mudace Coffee — with the tagline Brew • Trail • Bond. Whether you are waiting for your turn on the track, spectating an event, or just hanging out with the community after a fun run, the café gives the whole visit a complete destination feel.
It doubles as a retail stop for RC parts and accessories, so if you are coming from Pangasinan or passing through Urdaneta on the way up north, it is worth a pit stop to see what is in stock.
Events, Competitions, and Community
Mudace has already hosted multiple community events since opening, drawing hobbyists from Urdaneta, nearby cities, and clubs from other provinces. Events like the RC Stroll — a fun run format where participants bring their rigs and trail the course together — have become a staple of the Mudace calendar and a great entry point for first-timers who want to join a crowd before competing.
Industry partners have already taken notice. Brands like BoomRacing and Team Raffee Co. have shown up at Mudace events — which speaks to the park's growing credibility within the Philippine RC hobby scene. With over 21,000 followers on Facebook and a dedicated community channel (MUDACE RC TALKS, 249 members), Mudace has clearly struck a chord.
Going Nationwide — The Franchise Story
What started as one park in Urdaneta City is now a concept that is spreading across the Philippines. Mudace has opened its model to franchising, with one branch already operating outside Pangasinan and more locations set to open soon. The goal is to bring the same outdoor RC park experience to communities nationwide — and if the reception in Urdaneta is any measure, that expansion is well-earned.
For years, RC crawlers in the Philippines have had to make do with private land, parking lots, and makeshift spots. A franchise model that builds dedicated, family-friendly RC parks near communities changes that picture entirely — and Mudace is the one proving it can be done.
How to Get There
If you are planning a trip to Pangasinan, or if you are a Pangasinan local who has not visited yet — Mudace is worth the drive. Bring your crawler, bring the family, or just walk in and rent one. They have built something genuinely special here, and the RC community in the Philippines is better for it.
