Any RC enthusiasts here?

Just wondering if any of you play with anything RC? I have always wanted to play with RC helicopters, so I picked up one of those lil micro helis....its a 4 channel coaxial helo and let me tell you, this lil sucker is too much fun! I'm wanting to get the feel for it and slowly move up to the bigger ones.

It is an expensive hobby. After crashing my electric airplane 5 times I sold it to a friend for about a half of what I paid for it and he crashed it so bad the next week that the battery exploded and caught on fire.

A couple of guys I work with are big time into RC helis and planes. There is a hobby shop on I-240 that they hang out at and are members of a local heli club. I know those things are expensive. I cant afford guns plus another hobby so I stick with guns

I got this little guy. It's broken right now. Gotta order a new steering hub for it. Just haven't gotten around to doing it.

had a couple of those little ones. They are a blast! Tons of fun with animals too! You can hang a cat toy off the bottom and they go nuts...lol Looking at getting either a gas powered truck, or a full size heli before too long. I have the feeling the heli is going to be a real learning experience!

I've done the cars and the planes. Haven't had a plane up in the air in almost 20 years and I was a novice at it then. These days I prefer to spectate.

I used to fly all the time, had 3 - 1/4 scales and had a blast. If you really want something get this, I have been looking at one for a year and just can't take the plunge.

max. payload: 1kg (in the Video I used 1,3kg as payload for demonstration)

[Traxxis]

Yup, I love them. I sort of have three... one ancient traxxas hawk II (broke the chassis on it last year, so I pulled it all apart and its in about 80 pieces), 2.5 t-maxx (needs a differential), then an electric rustler that runs like a scoulded dog.

BTW, notice the screen name?

Yeah, when I first got the hawk II, aol had just come out and I set up my first email address, after several email addresses and forum names, I finally realized I had been mispelling it for the last 15 years. I seriously just figured this out last year.

Raced onroad cars for a few years. Currently have 2 helis, nitro boat, micro rock crawler, mini rock crawler, 18th scale monster truck, 24th scale rally car, 2 stampedes and Sport Maxx.

Tried the plane thing way back. Had a Duraplane the box said "virtually indestructible"-----Well I destroyed it.
Played with the electric cars and they were fun but if you race be prepared for mucho $$$$.
