This looks like SOOOOO much fun!
-
man i want one!
-
big $$$ !
-
Hmm.. I'd rather do the real thing. Or rather, I'd like to be able to do the real thing.
-
Its cool for a little while then parts break and it gets expensive just like the real thing. Its easy to tie up 500-600 in parts. They even have superchargers for them.
-
Yeah RC is fun, I use to wheel a RC Baja Buggy and then I got into RC airplanes years ago. After a long time away from the hobby I've bought a RC airplane to fly again since there is a field not far from where I live and I figured it might be something fun to do in between trail rides. It is of course just another money pit but I figure you can't take it with you.
Charles :P
-
...you can't take it with you.
Too true. There can't be a hobby that doesn't require a pretty hefty amount of money, by the end of it.
-
...Hmmmm....BUMP REVIVE...was thinking about a build...maybe I'm just bored.. {ehm}
-
They're pretty fun, cheaper than 1:1 scale, and good to play with while you're rig is down.
-
Yeah, I actually got into racing back in...here it comes...1987...I had the original R/C-10. I got bored the other day when I got back and during one of many sleepless, insomnia stricken nights, I started reading the RC thread on Pirate. I was looking at the Axial Rock Wraith or the SCX10 Honcho. Basic build.
-
They have come a long way the past few years. {toast} Do it G
-
...I still may do this...I am also looking at a few guns and parts... :smoke

I had an rc10 about the same time Glenn. There wasn't nearly the selection that they have nowadays. I got a Traxxas stampede with a brushless motor now. I've had it for a year or two. Its fairly inexpensive and fun to play around the house with. Id like to try out an axial or similar but i'm afraid I would get hooked and you can drop some cash quick on those things.
-
If you want to get into the market cheap and test the waters get a RTR (ready to run). I went with the losi mini crawler. Pretty cheap and they even make a micro now. I quickly discovered I like the sport of it and I wanted to do comps and such but I also love the idea of the scaler builds. Would be pretty cool to find a red LJ body and mount it on a frame and have an RC version of my Jeep.
-
...still on the fence about this. Might change my mind in a few weeks... ::)
-

I have lost steam, but I might look into it again later on! Still cool stuff!! :smoke
-
For me, I would play with it for a few days, then it would sit. If I can't use it, I don't need it. Would really like to have one though. But I could buy a sweet 29'er for the cost.
