My wing post got a little sidetracked, so I thought I'd start a new thread. Show off your RCs. On road, offroad, water or air. Let's see them. These are the only pics I have with me at work. I'll get some more later at home.

    This is the on-road one that is being shipped to me right now. First on-road car I've owned. (except not the expert built version. I got the kit so I can build it and use my own electronics)

    Work? I'm sitting here trying not to work. I've got a video of the e-maxx wheeling down the street after I installed new motors and then hitting a curb (Don't drive and shoot video) but I have no idea how to upload a video from iPhone here.

    I heard that place was getting shut down, any truth to that? Never been over there myself, but I guess I should. I ran my e-maxx at the place in Garland once a hundered years ago.

    Wow, you just gave me a great idea.  Hold my beer while....   Seriously, I haven't played with my cars and trucks long before I got a GoPro...

    This is inevitable.  Gives me a reason to play with them again.  Of course getting one to work after sitting idle for years is going to be a challenge.

    @nolaegghead,
    fly-by shots with an R/C plane/copter from the quadcopter would look awesome....

    Ran into a guy at Mardi Gras that was flying one of these over the crowds with a camera attached.

    This thing is awesome.

    Next purchase for me, for business though, not pleasure, as soon as the FAA nuts up and opens up airspace for commercial UAS

    This brings back some good memories.  Spent a few years gearing up RC cars and racing them at a place near my home.

    Circa late 80's when the RC-10 was king.

    I have several R/C planes. Unfortunately they have been hanging in my garage unused for a while. @FlyingTivo I have the PA Addiction:
    image

    ...that's really my only plane worth picturing.   

    My dad has the PA Ultimate.  I have flown that and it was a great plane.  Nothing too crazy because I didn't want to bang it up.  I beat up my addiction quite a bit.  I was trying to get good at 3D flying so mainly I would stand in a field and try to make it act like a helicopter :).  I got good enough that someone else could grab it out of the air, but never comfortable enough where I could take my hands of the sticks and grab it.   I don't know why once you start flying 3D you just HAVE to fly really low and do maneuvers like torque rolls.  One wrong move and...crunch...time for some CA glue. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Losi xxx nt, it's a hot rod, and just got a Shockwave 55 boat. My buddy has been talking smack of how fast his boat is and he is about to meet the reaper. imageimage

    Shockwave is a pretty sweet boat.  My buddy had one for about a week it would only run in the shop never in the water so he returned it.  Went BlackJack and was happy with that.  I never could keep my gas RCs running, I have much respect for those who can keep their RC's tuned.

    Gas are tricky, but I have always loved running a gas motor more than electric.

    Big reason I don't own a Prius.

    @YEMTrey super cool. Looks like its still in the plastic? You ever build it?

     @FlyingTivo those are some cool helicopters. Would like to get one of those one of these days.

    @SmokeyPitt got any other pics? Nice plane.

    @TUTTLE871 let's go race!

    I'm totally bringing a truck at the next eggfest, I'll find a green one :)
    For me it all started with my daughter's Traxxas Grave Digger, now I can't really count in my head how many we have... 2 quads and a boat too.
    I figured that if I get 2 of each we can get them out and race them in pairs. I even built a small race track in my back yard.
