The Wife and I just got back from a few days in Charleston and Myrtle Beach.....we were shopping at Broadway at the Beach when I found this little jewel.....it's got a 49Mhz, 3 Band, 4 AA power plant with custom wheels and engine...it has a Super Hemi engine in it that takes it to 0-6mph in about 4 seconds.....it set me back about $100 with rechargeable powerplant, custom stickers, Dragon wheels(ain't they sharp!!) and rollbars.....I guess that store was the male version of "Build-a-bear".....it was fun watching the parents help their kids customize a car/truck...... cooldude

Eat your heart out Mike!!..... Wink Cheesy Grin

Be careful.... that can be addictive.    Grin   I used to work PT for a Hobby Shop (HobbyTown USA) and bought an E-Savage RTR 4WD RC truck.... speeds up to 30MPH.  Elec, 14.4v Twin motors.  I ended up spending more money on spare batteries, 2 different set of wheels/tires, Aluminum Over Sized Shocks, some spare parts and a new body kit that I painted and customized (strictly for show not go).  I had it for 2 years and beat it (er I mean played the heck out of it), even in the winter, and the grandson liked it too (for awhile).  Had to pick it out of some of the neighbors trees now and then too when it hit a bump and caught some air.   Then I woke up and realized it was sucking good chrome money away from the Valk and VTX.....     Grin

I charged the battery pack up last night and took her out to the driveway to break her in.....she runs like a scalded dog, but the engine bounced plumb out of her a few times(just a magnet holds it in)....I may have to put the stock hood scoop back in to play with her....OH, and the roll bars came in handy as I flipped it over once already...scratched the paint just a little above the door jamb....

I doubt I'll get into R/C racing....it was just a cool store and since I'm still a big kid, I had to have me one too!!..... Wink cooldude
