Anyone into RC cars?
I was wondering if anyone is into RC cars?
I have been into them for years but they have always been to much money to keep up with.
But now they are pretty reasonable to play with.
Here is the collection in my house. I am going to try to race locally for fun in the next few months.
Old school Hornet
Another old school Black Foot
Daughters old school one Big Brute
My newest toy Thanks to brother-in-law!
Team Associated T3 truck
I have had a few other that had gotten lost through a few moves.
The Frog
The Lunch box
The Nitro brute
The Icarus
Thats about it.
Post pics of yours if you have some and tell us about them.

All of them are electric.
The prices of them have come way down.
You can buy a ready to run truck for less than $200.00.

SWEET !! I love the old school Hornet and the Blackfoot ! I always wanted a Hornet when I was younger. I had a Blackfoot which I geared all crazy and it darn near went as fast (top speed wise) as my old school Team Associated RC-10. Of course it took awhile to get up to speed with my jerry-riged set-up and then the inevitable happened; the gearbox eventually gave out. We used to have an awesome indoor dirt track around here but it closed down after about 3 years. Now the only place in the area to race is the corner of a parking lot at the local Hobby shop. They race the small on-road cars there. I've wanted to get back into it but man that stuff has really gotten expensive ! Every once in a while I get to drive my buddies T-Maxx and that thing is crazy !!

AWESOME! I knew the Blackfoot was still available but not the Hornt or Frog. 3 classics IMO. And thanks for the links. Can you still buy them as a kit you put together yourself? That's what I would probably want to do (assemble one myself). Do they still make the old-school RC-10's like the one in the attached image? That is what I used to have when I was younger, along with the Blackfoot.

Funny you bring this up, Tech. I work @ a motorsports dealership and we just built an indoor track for electric RC cars. I am not a fan, but I know pretty much every guy in the store is . . . About half of the employees have one or more rc car/truck.
I believe we get all of our stuff through this place:

I LOVE music, so an ipod would be the way to go for me. I still won't spend that on an ipod though. It's because I'm cheap!

Keeping 4 kids entertained is not only a distraction from some of your own interests, it's a DAMN miracle!
It's great when you can get the kids involved.
In related news, the RC track has been open in the dealership about 2 weeks. It's $5 to practice and we have a full house on Saturdays, (not that I'd know, I do not work saturdays.) It does get a little loud and distracting if you have to actually work in a large "toy" store.
