The tanks might be fun. Bet the cars suck though.

That's cool how small it is. This is definitely something my little brother would lose at school hahha.

Are any forum members into racing RC cars. I don't know if there's a specific name for it but they're like the hardcore RC cars with real suspension and spoilers and all that good stuff. I knew a guy who did it in high school and always thought they were badass.

I think you mean hobby grade r/c.

I have one entry level hobby grade r/c truck, a 2wd electric Traxxas Stampede. I had a nitro 4wd Traxxas T-Maxx also for a while but traded it for a bunch of turbo parts that I actually never got. sad.gif

My next purchase will be an Axial SCX10 rock crawler. I plan on fitting a good scale body (i.e. it looks like a real model of a truck, not like a lexan shell) and having a good time trail driving it. I've been into r/c rock crawlers for a while, the SCX10 will be my 4th.

I built my last one out of a cheap monster truck chassis and a new body from a Maximog toy.
