    RC Cars?

    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.

    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.

    Got a traxxas Jato and a T-maxx... Learned to dislike them both... Used to run nothing but Associated. Had a plane and a few boats too... (used to work at the hobby store)
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    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.



    The spare tires you see in this picture are bald. They were bald after ONE drive!! Junk tires.

    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.
