Back when I was a kid I enjoyed two Team Associated RC10 (gas truck and electric buggy), and a Losi electric buggy build with my Father, but those were VERY pricey pro models we built with modified motors, speed controls, servos, state-of-the-art batteries for their time, even cool garage worked paint jobs. He probably dropped $1000 into all three and the upgrades were all me to the tune of $200+ in lawn mowing cash.
When I was in the Army it was all about mini RC cars running down the barracks halls. Boy was that fun!
Anyone else enjoy either serious RC or the current out-of-the-box hi-tech bandwagon offerings of today?
Good cheap fun that wasn't around when I was a kid... Well, maybe Tyco for some ingenious fun under the Christmas tree designs like the super fun traxx, but a solidly engineered indoor chopper for $30? No chance.
