Yep, got one I run up and down the street. I haven't raced it yet at the club though.

I also do RC Airplanes. What we call 3D Aerobatics. It's considered the "Dark Side" of RC Airplanes.

Go figure!

I have not tried any RC vehicle. I would like to some time. I know a guy that converted his back yard into a race track.

I have the 1/20 scale Tamiya HMMWV that is basically an R/C buggy with a HMMWV shell. Got a few R/C Tamiya 1/16 armor kits (Sherman, Tiger I) and a King Tiger (motorized not R/C).

Yeah, I still have my Tamiya TB-01 Raybrig NSX, I raced it a few times.....had an Associated TC3....used to fly too, but got out of it for a while due to lack of places to fly, and of course the overall expenses were kinda ridiculous for what it was.

How about a drag race between a Panther and a Sherman?

've built Monograms funny/crazy cars like Rommel's Rod and Boot Hill Express.
My brother and I also built CAN-AM and NASCAR racing cars. The best part was the paintjob and decals! But the last car I built, a 1/12 scale Doyusha Lamborghini Countach, I began thing of crazy camo patterns and armor plating. I then knew that
the DArKsIDe had me again, and I surrendered.....

I have got a 1/8 nitro buggy (Kyosho Inferno MP7.5) but untill now it dos'nt work very well. I could'nt find a good working carburettor adjustment. But in spring I'll visit a local RC-car club maybe these guys can help.

Bye

Yo asykr- if you could help me out wuth my storm that would be great. recently i hit a cement wall at 60 mph with my storm and it warped the pro chassis badly. i decided to just buy the ole blue chassis that comes with the regular rtr. the only prob is that the sterring plate connected to the servo saver hits the fron diff. center outdrive. is this because i dont have a universal in the front center? ( it was badly bent too so i bought a rtr dogbone/outdrive) or is the rtr chassis shorted like the rc10gt? if u dont know thats ok- after all this is a tank forum. Sorry guys!
