I used to build models as a kid and think I may try building an RC in my "free" time....

If I build the car, it comes with the body and motor and all that, but what about the radio control? You buy that separate? How much?

 

A decent remote with servo's and receiver will cost about $80.

 

Order from Towerhobbies.com and they can sell you pre-packaged deals. I just started up again as well. I use to race at the national level when I was younger, and just kind of grew out of it into real cars.

I started up again to give my idle hands something to do during the cold season when the S2K is up on stilts.

 

I'm getting one for my birthday.........can't wait

 

ya i got my off road r/c car going 31 mph in 2 secs from a stand still. just get a 10 turn double motor but it will drain your battery faster.

 

yeah i always wanted one as a child but never got one...now that i'm older i want one again
since i have my own money to pay for it

 

Here's the one I want... http://www.conleyprecision.com

On Home Improvement a couple of years ago, they had this Cobra with the 427 in it. It sounded so damn cool when they fired it up because it sounds like a V-8!

 

i've been thinking about getting back into RC cars too. Use to have a couple electrics: Falcon and a Fox. Today I would definitely go gas though.
