Here's a pic of my BF's Mikado Logo:



He also has a TREX 450 and a couple of planes.

 

Don't bring up helis man... That stuff almost bankrupt me...

 

Thanks man. We're on the east coast, outside dc.

Most of that was shot with a Canon Powershot A610 - your basic point and shoot with video capabilities.

I had a .60 bird.. Thing was a magnet for the ground so I thought to myself "a car is already on the ground... How expensive could it be???" $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ of dollars later, I still do not know the answer....

 

I used to dabble with those things,

I raced 1/8 gas from in the Mid-Atlantic series from 91-99, also raced 1/12 and 1/10 electric cars and dirt buggies in the 80's. Traveled all over the country. I had my own company that sold RC stuff (wholesale), mostly batteries and electric motors.

The ultimate was the 5th scale HARM cars, unfortunately we couldnt find enough people to get a good race class going and everyone gave it up.

 

Nice stuff! What was the name of the company? I used to race electric 1/10th touring (X-Ray), and 1/12th pan car (CRC/Mighty Motors) back in the day.

 

My company was RaceCraft, I sold to hobby shops only.

I was a distributor for Checkpoint and Fantom electric motors and a bunch of other lines. I bought Sanyo batteries from a importer and even sold them to Trinity in bulk.

I had a CRC car and know Frank Calandra personally.

 

This is the latest look of my truck. Kind of embarassing compared to everyone's street paintjobs, but there's no point in getting too detailed in offroad, you're just going to destroy it anyway (at least the way I drive).

 

I know Frank too.. Been a while since I have seen him though. Last time was years ago at a place called "Hobby Chamber" in CT.
