No cars, used to have a boat but kept flipping it over and getting the radio gear wet. I've been building and flying planes for almost 40 years and still enjoy it very much. Here's one of my 'old timers'

I haven't got it out in a while and will probably just go ahead and put it on ebay, but I have a Tamiya electric car, TT-01 chassis. Pretty cool car, but I just don't have a lot of smooth surfaces to run it on, and I'm not interested in driving several hours to find a track. I'll probably just sell it, and buy a gas truck someday...

Got pix in my gallery. It currently has a battered 350Z body, but I also have a late model Trans Am body painted for it...

I also have a T-maxx. i have had it about 3 years and upgraded the hell out of it and its been sitting for like a year and a half now.

I am running a supermaxx setup with a hyper .21 she is a fast one..

I also have a HPI RS-4 that pretty much stock and that bad boy is so fast it is hard to control it. I have a Fantom .15 to put in it that came out of the T-Maxx to go in the RS-4 but i need to get some more driving the stock engine more befoer I put a bigger on in.

I would like to get into the truck aspect... is there a good website to read more about this sort of thing?

I had a couple of uncles heavily into it, it was crazy they were fast and customerizable, looked like Brews car actually...

I've got two electric touring cars, and a Duratrax electric buggy which is fun. My favorite is my 1/8th scale Kyosho Motorcycle. Runs on 2 wheels and has a real chain drive. It's just like running a real bike.
Falls over just like I would on a real bike, too.

I've got two gas drag cars. One is an old HPI RS4 that I converted to a pro stock car; Bump start .15, 2 speed, fatty's in the rear and skinny's up front. The other is a Walbern funny car; OS bump start .15, centax clutch and 2 speed.

Man how I miss this addiction...errr hobby. I raced competetively a couple years back, just at the local tracks.. There was a huge indoor track a few miles away where I raced, when that track closed down I kinda just got out of the hobby and still to this day I want to put my r'c's back together and run them. My main "racer" was a Team Losi XX-CR Kinwald edition. It was all graphite and aluminum. My "basher" was a traxxas stampede, pretty decked out as well. Then I had a Tamiya Tl01 and TB-01(i think). Now theyre all apart in boxes in my shop, just dont have time or much interest in getting back into it.

I did a bunch of research and was going to get one of the monster trucks... but then I realized that I would spend the gazillion dollars I would get sucked into spending on these on my F150... need BFG AT KO...
