I have always been interested in these. however Im not sure i need another expensive hobby
They're fun, next time you're down, I'll make sure to have them at the store for you to check out.
I think Ive "unlockled" the steak dinner achievement as well.
OOF....my forte! I have been in the R/C hobby for 20ish years.
My current fleet:
SMT-10 Sport Mod class monster truck
2x retro class Clodbusters
Traxxas Slash 4x4 mod class SCT
Traxxas Slash 2wd mod class SCT
HPI Blitz 2wd mod class SCT
Team Redcat/OFNA SCRT-10 4wd Mod Class SCT
Tamiya TL01 silver can stock class TCS car
3x Tamiya TA02's - 1 stock, 1 HPI graphite and 1 full carbon build
Tamiya M03R mod mini class car
Tamita M05 mod mini class car
Tamiya M06 stock mini class car
Kyosho Blizzard Snow Cat
Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin Chrome Edition(for my son)
Traxxas Stampede VXL
Traxxas Stampede 4x4 mod 4wd truggy build -built this before the truggy craze came about...now its just outclassed by the buggy based trucks.
Tamiya TL01B - mud truck build
HPI Sport 2 touring car - dust collector and trying to get rid of this. terribly unreliable belt driven touring car.
Traxxas Bandit - speed run buggy - 78mph so far but having trouble keeping the front down. its basically stock with a 3s powered castle creations system. going to go full bore with a Factory Works drag chassis when i get time to build it up. Then swap in a 4s system and shoot for 100mph.
My past stuff:
more than i have the space the type out. Everything from TLR, Associated, Traxxas, Tamiya, Serpent....etc.etc.etc. I have a whole hard drive of pictures of my past builds that would take days to go through.
Im sure im missing others. Been a collector and racer for a really long time. My local track has been around since the early 90's and features a good amount of nationals races. We just got the Jconcepts monster truck event coming December 7-8th if anyone is interested. I may enter my retro class trucks if i have the free time to get over there.
I dont have as much time lately as i did before my son was born. I still try to make it once every two to three months to race. Its a great hobby but extremely expensive.
Post some pics plz
oops got itI did. See page 2.
What would be a good starter for my 10 year old and I? I've driven them before, but it was a long time ago. He's never had a real rc car and has expressed interest in them. I wanted to get him one for his birthday which is the same month as mine and make it for both of us to justify the cost.
Thanks

I wish I enjoyed something inexpensive, like knitting or something.
Friday I purchased a Traxxas XO-1 RC car. 100mph out of the box. It's a blast. I went through a set of tires on Saturday sliding across the asphalt and doing some controlled drifting.
Today I bought a Traxxas Ultimate Desert Racer, hopefully it's here in the next couple of days! I figured a 4x4 would be a little more fun as it can actually go in the grass/dirt/snow/etc.
I'll get some actual video in the coming weeks.
