I know im resereticing the dead here, but i just dug out my old Tamiya TB Evo 01 from early 2000 and put together a vintage (1989 model) stadium beetle with modern day parts...

And all i can say is wow, things have really changed and improved since i last got into it...

So just wanted to see how many are still into theirs???

Been wanting a monster truck. I want a RTR, any recommendations?
Been hearing good things about the traxxas RTR's as being my pretty good bashers with readily available upgrades...

Axxial i would stay away from, lots of reviews saying they break down real quick and arent cheap to begin with...

I got a new drone the other day since my last ones moter crapped out. Excited to try it since it has very good protection (was flown straight into a wall in a demo). Going to be fun

My dad has some RC planes and stuff lying in the garage too

Used to do rc boats back in the day. This one had a watercooled Homelite weedeater motor with a tuned pipe and big carb. Head was milled for higher compression.

Thinking about getting back into the hobby again.
