Anyone into RC cars? I've been building/driving them for the past 15 years and still race every other Sunday! I've had every kind of RC Car you can imagine but am really into oldschool/vintage Kyosho offroad cars. My first RC (which I still have) was a Kyosho Outlaw Ultima. I currently race 1/8th Scale Buggy and Monster Truck, I have a Team Losi 2.0 with OS VZ-B and a HPI Savage that I race. I have some other RC cars that I don't race as well.
I picked this baby up the last time I was in Japan but I just don't think I have the time for it anymore so I am gonna sell it. Such a sweet truck though.

I still have my original RC-10, just sitting in the shop. Had to quit the hobby when I got into real cars--it was one or the other. I'll relive it with my son in a few years! The new ones are so much cooler thatn the old ones, I'd love a nitro car though.

I still got my RC -10 & 12i and my Jrx2...:)
I've got a HPI Baja 5b-SS kit I built and a Losi 1/10th slider. Haven't even fooled with either of them in months though.

Anyone interested in buying the RealFlight Simulator g4.5 for 160 shipped.
Installed, and haven't had a spare moment to play. No sense in it sitting when someone could be playing it.
I learned to fly RC on the g4 version. Very cool.

I have had a few. Had a Baja 23cc fuelie and a/n HPI hellfire nitro. 1/5 and 1/8 scales. Also had a cheapo china made one that i blew up. I traded both cars in the picture (almost brand new) only about 3-4 drives on both of them for my tecate. (Bad mistake) Had over 2k$ in cars/parts/fuel etc...
Here is a picture of those two cars i traded for a 600$ Tecate. :( The red hellfire alone was over 1000$ with accessories.

Started off with a Grasshopper back in the day( I'm giving away my age here). Then later I moved up to a RC10 Team car It was the first one to have what they called the stealth transmission (slipper clutch), very hi-tech at the time. I started racing with the RC10 for a short period of time. Then I dropped out of the hobby for many years. Now I have a Jato and a Revo. I have a couple of mini losi trucks for the kids and a Blade electric heli.

Me and a bunch of friends race 1/10th electric pan cars(NASCAR style) upstairs in his barn. The track is made out of painted plywood. We all run the same gears, and batterys, to make them more even.. If you think that they are slow, keep in mind that we ARE running on a real slick surface

Check out my other vids to see the size of the track

I have a Losi XXX-4 G+ with 13T Speedgems Double (I built the motor), Losi Mini-T with TL suspension (Losi Sport motor), Losi Micro Raminator (awesome truck for the indoors), Traxxas Sledgehammer (my first hobby RC), DuraTrax Evader BX w/ MRC desert truck body (awesome detail), a re-release Tamiya Hornet (like new), and an Aquacraft Hammer liquid cooled boat. I will try to post up some pics, great looking machines!
