Okay, well when I graduated back in December, I found that I had alittle to much new found spare time on my hands. In between shooting and editing, I began rebuilding my R.C. Nitro powered RS4 R.C. car... Then, when I saw how into it my dad was, I built him an Associated TC3 car from scratch... Now, I just rebuilt an old RC10Gt off road and ran it today for the first time.... I was just wondering how many of you guys around here are into that sort of thing... I haven't taken any photos of them yet, but I'm going to (It's kinda hard to shoot when you are driving :) ) So... What are you guys running? Cars, boats, planes, or everything in between... Bonus points for pics!
I love the stuff, however have found little time for it in the last 6 yrs. I've got an E-MAXX, some Tamyia kit and a mini Losi LST. Now the LST went boom last year and I still haven't fixed it. I think there a couple of people here who are into it as there are some decent shots of trucks.
A few friends of mine and I used to get into this about 15 years ago, I had a Blackfoot Monster Truck that I built from the kit then added all the high performance hop-up parts to it. Kind of lost the passion for it, But just last year the passion came back and I purchased a Tamiya TXT-1 Kit. I haven't finished building it yet because I ran out of time and I still haven't purchased a radio for it. But I plan to get back to it in the near future and finish building it.
He sent me that picture today via cell phone... It's funny cause spent the entire week cleaning and detailing it... I think he is becoming obsessed...LOL
ha. I love how the background in this photo makes it look like a real car... At first glance I think most people would assume it was. you did a nice job with the paint scheme. my truck came with two bodys one clear and one prepainted. trying to figure out what i want to do with the clear one. I might just paint some trim lines on it and leave the rest clear.

Actually, the paint scheme was based on a 1966 Shelby mustang my father had when he was a teenager... Who would have known they'd become the collector's item that they did... Anyway, I used 3m masking tape to tape off the racing stripes and I used the decals for the stripes on the sides as masks... The rest are decals, because I don't have that kinda time and we're just going to beat that body up on the track anyway :) I still love going down there with a good looking car though...
