Anyone into RC cars or trucks?
My mates bought one of these...
He was suprised to open the box and see about 20 bags full of bits, he thought it came completey built
Anyway, we had it running tonight on an empty car park, finally got it to change into second gear and it fookin flies
so we turned it off as it started raining and waited 10 minutes for it to stop, all was going well until..........
We turned the battery on to power the car, fired her up and it just ripped out of my hand and carried on down the car park my mate forgot to turn the radio gear on it must have hit about 40mph when it hit the kerb and ripped the wheel of and it still carried on, was funny watching him chase it
So what RC cars have you got?

I got a Shumacher nitro 10 from years back. Prob 94 I got it. Gave it to someone 2 years ago to "fix". Only just remembered about it. Should get it back soon.
Great place for racing trucks.... BMX tracks!
