    An off road vehicle would be the shizznit to play with. Having a car would be ok, but I would probably get something that I could go pretty much everywhere with as opposed to just on hard surfaces.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    thats understandable..i mean r/c is vast so it does cater to every field of mobility. but i love road course racing, which is why i fell in love w/ mini z's

    If i were gonna get back into it, id have to get an off road. Having a track prepped car isnt much fun until race days. There's so much prep into racing them that you cant really enjoy them much in a parking lot... plus, you have to find a parking lot. With a truck, you can just ride in your yard or any other place. I enjoyed painting and tuning the cars more than i did playing with them.


    ^ to sammich above question, they used to have an RC park here with some permanent tracks built with banks and such, not like the usual PVC pipes in a parking lot. They raced every weekend and kept a seasonal points tally with some prizes and trophies. As i got older i started doing real cars instead of RCs. I easily had a couple grand into 3 RCs, 1 nitro touring car, 1 battery touring car and a bolink legends car that they had a specific class for. The legends was probably the most fun, the others were too serious.... people would get in fights over crashes and such... Legends was like nascar, your car had to pass an inspection and could only have specific parts on it, you couldnt use different motors or anything, all the cars were even. Gas powered = money wins. if they still did legends, id race them. they were cool as shit

    dope ass R/C that's still yours?

    that's cool about the organized event too, i'd definitely love to go to one of those races, but w/ the money spent in those more expensive r/c's i'd rather just mess w/ my real car, but they are definitely sweet to look at, can't speak on tuning, because i've never really tuned, tweaked, etc w/ the bigger r/c's, not even the big gas truck i had about 2 yrs back
