Hay Guise!

Just got myself an S and noticed there was a forum for RC!!

I've been RCing (all cars, no planes or helis, or even boats) for 20 years, spent a long time racing 1/10th on road nitro, but now I just play for fun, which is why I have mostly big ones these days...

Here's a couple of pics of the gassers... I'll be happy to blather on about what models they are, power output, top speed etc, if anyone cares. They're 1/5th scale 26cc gas engine powered, all of em. Ah, except the buggy, that's 23cc, but probably the fastest. The viper is 910mm in length.



















One I used to own, but recently sold... a highly modified HPI Baja 5b...



Here's a recent vid I made... Watch in high quality and full screen with some volume. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il2VMtpdCuE

Oh, PS... I'm a mod on rcuniverse.com. Any members here?

You should try it with a 35lb car worth $3000 one day! Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid!

Yeh, I was active on HBF for a while, when I had the Baja, but I put a ton of money in it, and it still wasn't as good as the white beetle (FG), which has far less in it. So I got rid of it. Had no reason to post on HBF since, but I'm still pretty active on RCU.
