|  So, is anybody else here into R\C?
Yes, I am showing my geek side, but I have been into hobby-grade R/C for 20 years, and it is a cool way to spend time and alot of money. Anybody else? |

| Yeah, I have over $1300 into my Revo, which is one of 6 R\C cars in my house, and I cant seem to stop. It is a horrible addiction indeed. | |

| Cool, the current lineup is my savage, Warhead, Revo, mini lst, rc18t, and my kids each have a rustler.
I lean toward nitro, and I will probably pick up a serpent for an on-road car. Those things are insane. Gotta get some rims on the box first though  | |

| i have a HPI RS4 Nitro and a Mini-Z car. the r/c gas is freaking expensive, $24 for a small tank! but watching the gas burn looks cool at night. | |

| I have been into RC slope gliders for years. I raced them up and down the state and a couple of friends won the world champs for F3F unlimited gliders.
Now I just fool around the local slopes now and then.
I had a Tamya frog RC car but it didnt seem to intest me like planes do. | |

| Right on! Now thats how you do it. I break mine on a regular basis doing things like that, it is cheap and easy to fix them. I built a 3' wide, 2.5' tall kicker ramp for mine. The tip of it is nearly vertical. I call it Tajma Ramp. | |
