That is very addictive and pretty expensive lol. My kids have been showing a lot of interest in RCs, so after talking to the boss lady I decided I wanted them again as well! The RCs I like are called scalers, as they're scale 4x4 off-road trucks/ rock crawlers. Here's one of the projects I'll be working on at some point, if I ever get time, haven't even had time to work on my model kits lol.

Its a Tamiya 1/10 scale F350 Superduty.

Here's some of the ones I used to own and sold off about 2 years ago when I decided to switch hobbies for awhile.

I traded it off before it was finished and have been kicking myself ever since lol. That's all for now, I will probably add more as I build the trucks if you guys are interested. Thanks for looking!

Jesse, I just seen a Patton II tank at the local hobby shop they were showing it and all what it does, and I was headed there to pick up paint, (like I need more right!?) But I watched the thing SOME amazing what that damned thing would do.......... I'd be a guy to make that barrel fire a lighted M-80. BOOM.. LOL

$1,000 took him home with someone! The turret and all spun and you could aim the barrel, somewhat. thing was HUGE.....It had to have been damn near 3 feet long and a foot and a half wide.... tracks were just over 2 inches wide all metal!

I could see me getting into this one....... BUT your right its expensive.........with a capitol $ sign!

There are some very cool tanks being made, that's for sure John! Here's another pic of the rear axle under my rat rod...

Just that axle is $80 lol. I had about $200 into that rat rod with not much more done to it when I shipped it off, and the body was free!
