I have a little 1/18th scale Team Associated 18B for driving around my parking lot and when I go up to my parents' farm. It is fun chasing my mom's chickens, geese, and ducks around with it.

I'm not admitting to what I've spent on RC cars in nearly 20 years, I could buy all three scions, fully loaded release series, probably 10 times over with what I've spent(and my dad, considering I started racing at 6) I've always had the really good ones, losi mostly, had some before they even hit the market

I have an HPI Nitro RS4 3 Evo, but I lost interest in it when I got a 1:1 scale car, ya know? I should sell it now, I could still get a good bit of money for it.

yeah I just recently got back into it.. Before I knew it I have dumped about $2K just into the MGT and about $1K into the car!!! these things are like the scions you always see that part you just have to have lol.. plus you know that you always have to have extra parts cuz you always break stuff on them... anyway its been snowing up here and I can wait for a day above 35 so I can go bash the truck around...

I started out with the gas T-Maxx thing, had a flamed suburban body with running lights and working brake lights! Then it got cold and i got into the Micro RS4 thing and that was cool. Spring came and i got a HPI RS4 gas powered and it was insanely fast, so of course i made it faster and faster until i smashed it so hard i never fixed it!!! I got back into the micros and i made my "show" car that i said i wouldn't race it with my buddies(that lasted one whole day). I ended up selling everything and now i wish i didn't. But they are a blast!! here's my "show car"

well if anyone is interested I got a Yokomo GT-4 that I will part with... its too crappy here in WA to run it.. its hard enough to tune the MGT cuz of the weather!!! NDS my friend is into the RC heli's, I tried fying one on a sim and I crashed it like 9 million times!!!! there cool but you gotta know what your doing.. I am gonna have my parents send me my truck when I am in Iraq, hopefully I can figure out how to get fuel for it..
