That's bitchin. Good price (seemingly) too.

I used to fly RC planes and have given thought to getting back into it and/or dirt track runners like this. Just can't seem to bring myself to reinvest though. Maybe when I retire :)

Nice!

I'm more of a Basher than a racer...if you're not breaking parts, you're not having fun :)

Anyhow, I don't have a lot of pictures but here is a Brushless Emaxx (Lipo 2SC) I built last year.

Here is my Revo...I stripped it down to convert it to an electric but changed my mind.

My old Chopper, need to buy a new one.

I got a little Traxxas Slash. Just found the Raptor body for it, pretty cool looking.

R/C racers are amazing.
I cant imagine how they control those small things super fast...

i was into the hobby since i was 13 years old...its like playing video games to be honest with you, if you got good eye hand coordination, your golden. Drake, Pavidas, all of them started when they were dead young...and kept going and going and going...thats why they get paid good money to race those things lol No way in hell could i compete with those guys...i came close to their times, and at times the same lap...but even then, they find a way to turn a quicker lap time...its so much fun...if i still lived in Cali, i would do it at least twice a month..I still got all my parts and kits and about 4 boxes of Byrons fuel LOL I ran nothing but Mugen kits...they are awesome. :shock2:

svoray, i raced an team associated B44 (brushless Novak system)...they are so awesome! I had saddle pack LIPO batteries powering that damn thing...my lap times came almost dead close to my 1/8th scale times...now they got brushless classes for both truggy and buggy...its very cost effective considering the price of fuel..especially if you dont have a fuel sponsor. here is a pic of my B44 after setup:
