R/C cars
 

Any one else here into radio controlled cars?
Im talking about the nitro methane burning 3.0hp 4 wheel drive 9lb racing machines, not the junk from Radio Shack (oh sorry, The Source)

I don't have an RC car, but I do have an RC plane. :D unfortunately I still need to skin it.

I have LOTS of RC planes :-)

All electric for me - no slime

3hp?!?!?! HOLY CRAP those things must FLY!

I've got a build it yourself 12v one that does about 25mph..but no gas burners. :D...wow it's 10 years old this year too, I got it when I was 12

Had a Tmaxx, an RC10GT... sold em last year.... they are extremely fun, but sooooooooo dirty.

I have a Team Associated RC10 truck and buggy used to race them 10 years ago and never been run in probably 5 years :sad:

Ive got to drive a custom nitro rc car,those are soooo fun.They go so fast its hard to turn them without busting a 360!,if you turn just right you can 4 wheel slide them.Fun stuff,pricey hobby though.

Not much more expensive as our other hobby... I think fish stuff is even more expensive sometimes.

I've been slow to get my plane in the air, simply because after all that work I am scared of crashing it into the ground! :) but I plan on having someone experienced take it up and bring it down for me until I learn it properly.

For those scared of trashing something expensive, should definitely look into the FFF/EPP/Depron/F3/foamies. The fanfolds harder to find in canada, but we've got access to starboard and convoy building supplies sells a mylar coated version of the 6mm Depron foam.

Translates into <10$ for a plane (without the electronics) and build times under 4-5 hours.

Sure come a long way since 10 years ago when I played last (Although I admit, I was at pm hobbycraft today drooling over all the new and exciting toys)
