He used to just eat dinner with them - clearly their relationship has progressed.

Local 1/8th tracks are open when the weather's good, and the indoor 1/8th will run again in April.

Carpet 1/10th On/Off track is being laid right now at a local Hobbytown. 5000 sq ft plus. You can see a similar track at the current indoor championships in MI.

I love the styling of a lot of the 1/10th Tamiya/Kyosho cars but I just can't get into them after buying my 1/5th scale Losi DBXL-e. Even my custom 1/6 scale seems so small but it's twice as fast as my Losi.

Too big to run anywhere for me except bashing.

I have 2 RC10B7's in the box after I get my 1/8th dialed in.

I never got the hang of RC cars. or planes- got confused as to what way to turn when they were going any direction other than away from me.

Excellent toy! I'd like to play with an RC rig like that but with camera facing forward so I could see it like I was in the driver's seat.

I'm sure that's already common out there but that would be cool to me.

There was a public park in Winston-Salem called Hobby Park, set up for RC planes. The queers took it over to do their own "hobby".

No Fing Way This is not FPV stuff. Nobody I know, up through National class pro racers could handle FPV.

I like your style, espcially the window coverings and paint choices.

That looks like killer fun!

I didn't think it would be that pricey to get a camera in a rig like that. What would it be a few grand? I have no idea but with ever changing tech it seems like it should be affordable, no?

My MBDR makeover was mainly putting a mirror on the ceiling that has etched in the lower corner "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE LARGER THAN THEY APPEAR"

My redecoration consisted of installing a rodeo timer. So I could prove that I stayed on for more than 8 seconds.
