Anyone into R/C Stuff?

I used to be really into racing R/C years ago and then started spending money on other stuff.

Well I walked back into the hobby shop last weekend and ended up buying a Revo 3.3 Nitro monster truck.

Pretty fun to play around with. I'm looking for a nitrous kit for it now...

cool.. I got the truck just to screw around with. Next time that I have a free grand or so I want to get a Nitro onroad car and pimp it out with a big block, nitrous and CNC alum wheels.

Then I can put my HPI Camaro SS body on it.

Im into them but I prefer the electric powered side of it. The brushless setups are just insane for racing.

I prefer the realism side of the hobby myself, offroad scalers...

Chaman - I recognize your truck from some of the R/C boards.... very nice.

I've got....
RC10T
RC10T4
TC3 (with CTSV and mercedes bodies)
Electric hydroplane boat

Power comes from motors that dance around between them, best being the Mamba Max 5700 brushless setup. It SCREAMS

Painted by me

This is the road car, with my RC10T body... I use this setup like a rally car...

man, we need to have some R/C GTG's... lol

I have my new revo 3.3 (stock for now) and I completely modded out Losi Triple X KE thats for full on racing.

I either want a nitro onroad car next or a 3D plane.

This is the plane I'm thinking about.

They have one at Larry's thats all put together and it looks like a blast. The only reason I got the revo and not the twist is because I havent found a really good place to fly.
