When my kids were growing up,my brother-in-law up in Jersey would send us one of his company's newest RC boat or truck for Christmas.The boys and I sure had fun with them.Even though this comes from a company other than his(sorry Frank),I have bought one of these "fast electric" boats to play with on the odd weekend when Susie and I are not hitting the road in Rebel Grey.It should be fun on one of the small lakes on Ft.Rucker.Anyone else here play with R/C stuff? http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/boats/aqub17-main.html

 

I was big into nitro powered buggies and trucks a few years ago, but with the kids, I have no time. I still have 2 nitro trucks that I play with when I get the chance.

 

HonestBlues, RC racing and flying are big down here in Fort Walton. There's a track up the street from my house that draws large crowds every weekend. There's also some old runways on the Eglin reservation that are used for flying RC planes.

My dad flies RC planes up in St Louis. Mostly, he just likes to build them. He does it quite often since he's not too great at flying them!

 

I got a little gas engined RC car that I drive around sometimes. The little thing can hit 35.

 

I used to Have a HPI RS4 3 evo, looked like this, It could reach speeds up to 50mph!! Had lots of fun with it, but got tired of having to tune it every sec so I sold it.
here are a few pics of what it looked like,

 

I was never in to the on-road, don't have a place around to run them. My rc-10gt stadium truck will hit 40+, the 1/8 scale ofna buggy I had would hit 60+ mph. It was fun! 4wd .25 engine putting out 2.4 hp @ 28000 rpm

 

I used to fly R/C gliders (sailplanes).

Haven't done it in years, but would like to get back into it.

I have one that is partialy built that has an 8 foot wingspan.

 

I build and fly planes. I don't have a lot of time to fly anymore, but I just finshed building one a couple of weeks ago. HOpefully, I can have more time this spring.

 

Have a 2wd buggy, a 4wd S-10, Sailboat and a electric boat to zoom around.. All electric but debating on getting a Nitro monster truck.

 

I'm about to invest in another one now. Found a white Chevy Camaro that can do 65, nice price because it's used.
