I actually raced electric radio-controlled cars for 5 years up until last spring.

I've been in the hobby for over 10.

HPI Micro RS4 FTW!

I used to race a long time ago. I miss it so bad... I have a Mugen MTX3 Prospec. Novarossi MR12, airtronics highspeed/torque steering and thorttle servo's, one way diff in the front, that SOB would scream!!! On a really nice wintery day, we actually were able to clock it doing 61 mph down the back stretch at the old race track we had here before they shut it down to build houses... Damn people... LOL!

I have to go fire it up one of these days here. Several guys down in my club used to race and stuff.

I'm not a tC owner and I haven't been active on here in a really long time but I love RC. I currently race 1:8 nitro buggy and 1:10 electric stadium trucks and I have a decent collection of vehicles both nitro and electric.

Associated Factory Team RC8:


Losi XXX-T MF2:



Thunder Tiger ST-1:


Traxxas E-Maxx:


Associated RC18T:


I'm getting a Traxxas Slash as soon as it comes out next month. I really can't wait for that one.

Yup I love r/c cars, I bash with a nitro revo 3.3...for now. I am really wanting to get into the buggy scene, and the new 3.3 4tec looks hella tight. I really want one of every type of car at least. I need more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I used to do a lot of micro rc stuff and picked up some of the bigger ones...

the mirco rc collection was huge but the bigger toys are mostly made up of a Losi XXX-S, a MiniZ, a Venom Mini Giant and a few other select ones...

Haven't had much time for RC lately though, mostly due to no decent tracks around for what I like (electric car racing).

Used to race an HPI RS4 Sport 2 (1/10 Electric w/19 turn motor). I also have a Traxxas 4tec (Electric 1/10 w/20 turn). Still have the cars and mess around with 'em from time to time.
