radio control cars etc.

[jester20001]

Just wondering if anyone on the forum is into remote control cars.
The petrol kind not the kiddies electric stuff that the young uns take to the park.

I have 5 cars and 2 helicopters over the last three months and would have had a boat if it haddened have been for a meeting !!

there really fast and very rewarding but are really annoying and costly when they break down or you hit a tree!

anyway, anyone else out there interest in these things ?

Im trying to get into racing but theres mot much in sheffield. they do some track racing in halifax which is an hour away but I enjoy the trucks most. just expensive when you crash them !!
