    Radio controlled toys.

    Anyone here play with the Rc stuff? Anything. Cars, trucks, planes, choppers. Boats. Anything really.

    I have an HPI Baja 5b SS. 1/5 scale buggy. Runs on two stroke gas/oil. 31cc engine. Basically same thing that comes on a weedwacker or chain saw.

    I used to fly a lot up until about 5 years ago.

    Started when I was about 8 years old.

    Did it all, 1/3 scale to indoor brushless stuff.

    Def will get back into it again when I don't work so much.

    I just had my Summit out for the first time in a while yesterday playing in the snow. That thing will go anywhere and is really fun to play with. It's awesome to see what it can crawl over in low gear with the diffs locked(which is pretty much anything that isn't vertical or that it doesn't high-center on) then you can flip it into high gear and rip around a little faster. I used to race my RC10T2 15 years ago, but I don't have time for that sort of fun anymore.

    This is a pic of the Summit when I first got it propped up on a HBH liter mug to show scale and articulation, lol...

    I always wanted to try flying something. Looks like a lot of fun. Right by my work, there is an R/C airfield. Its behind my plant. I'll sit and watch them fly all summer. Big stuff too.

    Nice on the crawler!

    Last one was an HPI super nitro. Had a Novarossi engine in it. Too much car for me, but it WAS a ton of fun.

    I had a plane a while back. Nothing to special it was just a trainer but I had a ton of money wrapped up in it. I had it finally put together and was working on breaking in the OS .40 and someone broke into my house at the time and stole a bunch of things including all my R/C stuff and I just never messed with it anymore. I tinkered around with a few cheap electric R/C helicopters and that's it. I remember reading RCM magazine as a kid though.

    There is a pretty nice RC airfield near New Florence, PA if anyone up that direction is looking for a place to fly. It's on private property but an guest pass will get you access.

    That's like the one by my work also. I believe its invitation only. Its close enough that I can sit outside the office and watch them fly the whole day. Its amazing watching what they do.

    Me and my son both have nitro and electric cars and trucks. I flew a plane once on a trainer box with a friend of mine. He is into the planes. He has built jets in the past, but quit flying them. He was getting nervous about the thought of crashing a $10,000 toy after watching one of his friends lose one.

    oh cool!! I'm at the landfill that's right on the bike trail. Actually, my company owns property on both sides of the trail right by the airport.

    Didn't you get a few from me Glenn? Many years ago.
    I would be pretty nervous with a $10k plane too!! I watched a few crash on the auction hunter shows! Disaster!

    That's cool! I always just did the parking lot playing with them and the fields at work. Wanted to do the track sometime but never got the chance.
