I've had my share of RC cars, but that was back int he day before gas powered ones were popular and affordable.

I still have and they still work fine though,

An original RC-10 and a Kyosho car which had a BMW body on it.

Both were hella fun, but battery life on electric sucks.

My friend has a gas powered RC-10 that does 80 mph!!

I have also had the privelage to take an RC 1/4 scale F1 racer, with hydraulic brakes, 2 speed tranny, and the thing was lightning fast, it would easily do 120 mph!!

I have also been able to see a 1/4 scale f-16 jet fly in mohave, thing was huge, and used real airtplane fuel, but was amazing to see this thing fly by remote control.

Helicopters are cool as hell, but tricky to learn to fly. still working on simulator for flying RC choppers. I have this thing called RCFS, which comes with a neat little program and a controller for the ocmputer that is a twin stick RC controller shape, lets you get an idea of control and all.
