Bullwings Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Nice toys, especially the 1/5 scale MT. I never owned any planes, or 'copters, and the only boat i had was a nikko. R/C cars and trucks I have: RC10T HPI super nitro HPI Savage RC10L with a brushless boat motor It's fun stuff. They're toys, but they're cool toys.

Dave ESPI Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Ive been having a blast with my huge monster truck. Its up to full power now and hitting top speeds of near 45 mph. Anyone else tearing up the slopes and hills near you that are missing snow ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ESPI Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 http://blog.myspace.com/dave_espi I posted a video too :) Once up to full speed, it does like 45 mph, and sounds like a 500 CC Crotchrocket or Buel Sportbike. It's hella loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 unfortunately I haven't been able to use any of my R/C's yet so far. in fact, i haven't done anything at all except read, play video games, and go to physical therapy/doctor. click here for some pictures. this thing can hit up to 45 mph too. road cars can easily hit 80+ mph with the proper tuning and hop up parts.

Justin A. Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I miss my R/C Cars...most of them are broken and out of production (meaning no parts) I've got: An HPI Nitro RS4 an Ofna OB-4 (not the RTR one that they came out with, this is the original 55mph race car) and a Kyosho Mini-Z, still works, too lazy to charge the batteries, plus the cats knock down cones or anything I setup to drive around before I can have any fun . I'm toying with the idea of getting an electric something or other, but I've been out of the loop for so long I have no idea what's good anymore... I've always been a big fan of 1/8th scale buggies too...just I could never afford one...maybe I'll snag one soon. I've always wanted an r/c biplane too...I had my sights set on one from Tower Hobbies, but it never materialized. Now I'm kinda eyeballing a ducted fan A-10 .

Dave ESPI Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Justin, the Ducted Fan A-10 is by GWS I assume that you are talking about. It is a bit qarky as a plane, and unless you are adept at flying, it really is not the easiest to fly from what I've read about it. I contemplated getting one also, but have settled on a few other planes that fancy myself :) If you want a little plane that is just a blast to fly, try a 22.00 ESTES- SKY CRUISER from Toys R Us Store. It comes ready to fly just add 6 AA batteries to the transmitter. really a fun toy ! I've had like a half dozen of them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
