Mindanao is the Philippines' largest island group, and its RC hobby community has been growing steadily — particularly in the Davao Region. With the opening of dedicated RC venues like Samal Speedway, Mindanao now has a legitimate destination for serious RC hobbyists.
Samal Speedway RC Park @ Trinity Park — Samal Island
Samal Speedway RC Park is one of the most exciting new RC venues in the Philippines. Located inside Trinity Park in Cawag, Peñaplata on Samal Island, it features both an RC Race Track and a Rock Crawler Park — a full RC destination for hobbyists in the Davao Region and beyond.
Trinity Park itself is a beautiful outdoor space — "a fulfilled dream and a gift of love" — that balances recreation, family time, and faith. Adding RC to the mix makes it a complete day-out destination. The park is accessible from Davao City via the Samal bridge or ferry crossing.
Samal Speedway Race Categories
Samal Speedway hosts RC competition events including:
- 1:10 Scale
- 1:12 Scale
- C2 Stock (SORRCA class)

King of Riot Xtreme RC Challenge — Abucay, Bataan → Mindanao
While King of RIOT is held in Bataan, the XRCC and 2SoG groups that power the RC Crawlers challenge have connections to the broader Philippine RC community including Mindanao. The King of RIOT RC Crawlers category in 2026 is open to hobbyists from across the Philippines.
The Davao RC Community
Davao City has an active RC hobbyist community that has been growing through social media and the influence of national RC platforms. The opening of Samal Speedway gives Davao-area hobbyists a dedicated venue for the first time — a significant milestone for the regional hobby scene. Mindanao RC enthusiasts are now increasingly connected to national competition circuits and the broader Philippine RC community.
