And here's the track at our Hills Property that I quickly designed using the raptor and my banshee to rut up to get started. (buddy of mine was on the banshee)

holy shit that ****** rc truck is huge!!! 3 foot long thats insane.
if you were planning on buying one of these i would say no and save the money for a down payment on the real thing haha

 

[SwampKing]

And if you have the real thing and want another real thing, GO FOR IT! Haha.
Only live once, makes u relive child hood dreams of having one when u couldn't at least. Pretty fun!

would be fun as hell to run one of them around as a youngster haha

Believe it or not, there's more 25-45+ year olds with big scales as much as these 12year olds playing with the small scales. Nitro/electric/ hi performance reed motors is better than ever. Of course u make this another hobby if you have the time or make it for your son and a great excuse to buy toys with the wife's permission for bonding time

My next hobby is turbine remote control boats but that's when I really have TIME!! motors costs $10k-20k. It's crazy with technology these days and the fun we can get into.

THE RAPTOR above I posted isn't for "us" to have fun with rather than looks. Thought I would share the info as some locals might get one to bring out to the Hills Property. When we wanna pop a top and relax, remote control offroad speed! Ha! .

 

[Hootey]

yes it sure is, sounds like your in for some fun times coming up haha

 

[SwampKing]

sure sounds so, i resorted to picking up my r/c passion again due to physical pains with other hobbies. just more relaxing fun really.

 

[Hootey]
