Got a new toy!

Or as the manual say "This is not a toy!".

Anyways its a 2.5 cc RC controlled car, top speed is aroud 40 - 60 Kph and tomorrow will be the day I brake in the engine, then i will be using it on the track (before that a parkinglot) when the track is finnished. It's bing built in a near by town and the projekt has been going on since winter last year and will be an awsome tack



My teacher got me into this after i have been driving his electric cars on their inhouse track, he and his sons compeat in Europeean and World championships with 1/5 cars, the car I bout is a 1/10 car so it's half the size but it's still alot bigger then I thought

You must be like those guys in BF2 that jump in as pilots, take off and two seconds later they ram you into the ocean.

I am going to build an RC Airplane with my dad this summer. I am going to get him the parts for Father's day.

Nah, it is going to be our project. He loves airplanes like me, we have talked about building our own but I think it would be better to start with a kit first.

my family used to be into that. My dad used to compete in rc racing as with my two uncles. They did it when they were younger but did not get real big into it. They did the offroad racing though. I got into it a couple of years ago but i have not messed with my car in a long time.

Saw one of those F14 RC jet's on youtube and they looked and sounded awsome, but I will use one where it's not that long way down to the ground haha. I bet I would crash it the first day aswell With this I might have one day atleast haha

That's why you use trainers first..

I would only get a jet if I had a long range radio and some kind of camera on the thing. It is hard to track things going that fast.

rc jets are nuts .. i went to a show once where they were flying them competitively, and driving up there sounded like a real air force base or something

cool car though .. i've always been more into planes .. i had a rc truck and there used to be this clay offroad course near my house where i'd take it ..

That got to suck, I'm afraid to ruin mine because of costs, that it slightly worse. It did have very slow speed even at the take off so I presume it stalled.
