Thank you Mr. Farago, that was a fun video and got me to thinking of buying another Japanese car but this next one will be 12" long.
You guys can crap on R/C cars all you want, but not all of us can afford full scale racing. It's a great social hobby as well as something that parents can do with their kids. I used to race an XRay T1 EVO2 every weekend until I got out of the hobby when I bought a new car. At the time, it was probably the largest racing club in the country so it was pretty intense racing. EDIT: I managed to find a video on google of the old PLRC track. If you want to see some factory team drivers duke it out see this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8050618966806655718&ei=CJaqScKCLJ-G_AGS2einDA&q=hobbyhobby Being an A-Main driver myself, I always had to find every bit of speed I could. The setup of the car changed throughout the day depending on sweeping of the cars and pavement temperature. It was wicked fun. But I never rivaled these guys. The best I ever did in a season was 5th overall.
Maybe I should have mentioned my Losi hobby. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3538/3319748364_cc3e2caaaa_b.jpg They are good fun when they work.
I quit racing my RC-10 and RC-10T when it became more expensive than it was for me to race Motocross at the top level!
