I raced 10th scale oval for bout 10 years.....Just got way to expensive....$200 battery packs. Cutting armatures on motors.....PCM radios before most guys had them. Heck I even had a trailer to haul my shop around. I had Associated 10lso, spectres, TRINITYS...... plus a couple of my own designs. I got tired of never having any money so I quit racing. I did have a couple of sponsors. I messed with the 10th scale gas truck racing but didnt really enjoy it. Gas was a pain in the neck. My son is starting to get interested he is 6 so who knows I might have to start again. |

used to have the original nitro RS4 with all the goodies...

but then the realization that it was too expensive and was not worth it set in... |

I've got an RC10B2 buggy and an RS4PRO touring car. Never got into racing, but they are some fun toys, and expensive too. Tank |

Nice glider Mdm! I gave up the winch for steep rocky cliffs. Point Fermin being closest, and Torrey Pines being one of my favorites. At the end I was flying straight wing planes, vacuum molded fuses, in the 13-15 pound range. My last one was my favorite, the F22 raptor.. |

I have one of ten remote controlled paragliders ever made. Nearly a fife foot wingspan and a little aluminum "Paradude". I don't fly it much though as I fly paragliders and would prefer to be in the air rather than putting batteries in that make believe stuff. I do have some intrest in the new micro choppers and indoor micro planes though. Does KMART still sell parakeets? |

Would anyone be interested in buying my T-Maxx? I bought it a couple years back and just haven't had enough time to play with it. It's only had a little over a gallon of gas ran through it. Anyone interested? |

Wow... RC. This is bringin back some memories. I was into it for a while, had an Associated 10L, and one of the first 10GT's. Fun times, but pricey. Gave it up when I started driving real cars. The money just seemed better spent when I could feel the results in the seat of my pants. |

I have 8 RC planes and about 14 boats all glow powered. I haven't touched the boats for a few years though! http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/profile.cfm?section=models&memid=68117 |
