RC Motorcycle races....amazing!

[Pappy!]

I can fly RC but this amount of precision driving is way above my level.

Pretty cool 

[Chrisj CMA]

That is too cool.  I'd like to learn that, but I'm sure it's an expensive hobby.

Wow, that's cool.  The vid is 6 years old, never seen that before

Yah, my neighbors down the street do this but with RC off-road vehicles on 4 wheels on a dirt track nearby me.  They race every weekend and open to the public to watch for free, very nice setup they have there and they go other places on weekends as well nearby to race.  Pretty neat to see them zip at say 50+ mph NO JOKE and do jumps and wipe out often.  Yah, expensive hobby over 1 grand easily just to get into it.  Even used vehicles requiring special octane juice are 300-400 bucks in good shape and constant repairs breaking parts off of them right and left, especially off road vehicles that crash doing jumps, etc. all the time.

They have ran them up and down our streets and those things are fast on a straightaway and VERY LOUD, like wake up the neighborhood LOUD and very annoying buzzy loud. 

If not such an expensive hobby, it would be cool to do though.  If I am going to spend 1000's on toys, my toys will be full sized that I am able to ride myself.

Wow, never seen them before, just the 4 wheeled ones. Amazing how they can toss them into a curve or S with no rider shifting their weight or anything. You could even see the rear end on a few of the bikes beginning to drift out sometimes, great driving skills for sure

Fun to watch the bikes screaming down the straightaway. I can't figure out how they get them to lean on the curves. The only model racer I had as a kid was hooked to a straight wire that ran through a couple small eye screws under it. In the back was a small CO2 capsule and you used a special spring loaded doodad to puncture it. Sucker would pass anything on the road for about half the length of a football field.

Hit the neighbors dog once when he started chasing it, he had to take him to the vet for some repairs and wanted me to pay for it. Good luck on that one, told him his dog wasn't supposed to be running loose like his wife was while he was on the road(truck driver). That ended the conversation....and apparently the marriage judging by the moving van that showed up a week later.....but I digress.
