Thats one of fillies in the stable.

My only other car worth driving at the moment is an OFNA Violator. Sucker is fast and loud, which cuts down a lot of how much I drive it. The college has some strict rules about driving nitro cars on campus after some incidents involving runaway cars impacting with the campus security's golf cart. That and the noise is counter productive to classes in session. So it's a weekend only event, and I'm usually busy sleeping. I do find many uses for the fuel though. Good for melting asphalt.

I wish I could get some with out all the caster oil in it. T'would make a nice fuel adative for track days with the Miata.

I would like to get all my R/C gear back together. I have a bunch of chassis that are only on the shelf for want of a little machine work to replace worn out and broken plastic bits. Now that I've got plenty of time to work in the shop and access to all the old stuff my team has collected, things could go well. Might even get the R/C club to fund some projects I've been wanting to do.

But that would take more time and effort then I've got. Maybe next year.

I bought the a Tamiya skyline first. And i upgraded the crap out of it. It is 4 wheel drive and can go about 35-37 miles per hour. It got harder and harder to tell how fast it was going because we had to drive my buddies car next to the R/C and I would sit in the passenger seat trying not to get it run over.

My second R/C i just got last year. It is pretty sweet, and came with all graphite parts and a one year free replacement plan. Which was awesome becuase I liked to run it in to telephone/basketball/fence poles. <-- not a good idea!

bigboi146, that is a nice car. Andy, thats funny, "impacting with the campus security golf carts" lol I'm guessing that it was just annoying to the security guy, if your car was going fast enough to do any damage to a golf cart, it would be destroyed on impact.
I'm pretty broke most of the time, so all I have are a few pre-builts :( . The best ones I have are a 1:14th scale Nikko hummer, and a 1:10th ferrari enzo, both red. They both have two speeds, and the enzo has working lights :D (I need to replace the LEDs in the headlights though, anyone know where I can pick up a couple of super bright white LEDs that will work with a 9.6V battery?). The hummer can hit 12mph, and I think the enzo will do 14 (I know, I know, big whoop :rolleyes: ).

Here is my baby.



The RC10TC4 with the Factory Team Conversion Kit. I've been dying to drive it since I got the new chassis. Running spec, I've hit around 30-40 mph. I had to order a new body since my old body wouldn't fit the new chassis...strangely.
