Something i want, never a chance to own as a kid, would rather buy all this kind of thing now, rather than get to 40-50yrs old and decide i still want to try it.

TBH they too expensive to get when your young, is quite a big scene and majority aren't kids, probably known as geeks to the people that hang around the internet. Some of them are worth more than most peoples real cars

Fair enough. 1st pic looks awesome. Would be better 5x the size though so you could actually drive it

There's a track for those Baja's etc. to drive round in one of my Uncles fields. They have events every 6 months or so.

It's funny when/how some people ridicule purchases like this.

A few friends and I take our cars on a local park. On summer nights, rugby and football team train on there at the same time. We can hear some of the comments like "what a set of nerds", "what a set of losers".

Well, you wouldn't believe how many of them lean against a tree to watch the cars drive around after their training has finished. Funnily enough, they always stand on their own, probably so that their jock mates can't see them

they were the ones running around grabbing each other with their tops off 10 minutes earlier (playing grab rugby...faggots)

I say fuck anyone that tries to pigeon hole people into acting grown up, any normal bloke is lying if they say they dont find playing with this type of stuff fun, this is exactly how so many people end up with millions of kids and angry and depressed, me and 3cm are keeping it real

I like man toys but nothing remote control exites me.

That baja thing 100% needs recreating into a single seater with a bike engine

Seems plenty fast enough, i didn't dare go to full throttle and still kept crashing it.

Sorted out the tracking lastnight, seemed to have loads of toe out, left the camber alone. I feel special

They seem different to drive to a normal rc, normally you're just flat out going as mental as possible. With the petrol ones if you just go mental you know something bad is going to happen.

That should be a famous quote one day imo

They look hard to drive when I've been to watch them. Some of them have fancy exhausts on them that are deafening, the noise goes right through you
