Yup, building one / masking the body for paint as I type this...

A buggy though, not an SVX...

I've got a Losi XXX-NT stadium truck and a Losi Micro-T that I fling around at work..

Both are fun in their own ways. What do you have?

I have a Tamiya TT-01 Subaru WRC 2004 4WD (RTR) that I bought a couple of years ago.

This kit I am working on is a Tamiya DF-02 Rising Storm 4WD (Buggy).

Both electrics, as my apartment complex would kill me if I ran Nitro.

I never got into cars beyond Toys-R-Us as a kid, and one nice Radio Shack one. I have a couple planes though

Here's my Kadet LT-40 with floats flying at the cottage:

i have a 1/16th mini inferno, it has the mamba brushless system with the 8000kv motor, i have 2 lipo packs with 3 cells, (11.1v) and they are 2200mah.... itll last about 1 hour on each battery..holy crap does this thing scream....... i also have my ecs custom set using a usb hook-up.... if i used the 14.4 volt pack it would be clocked at over 70mph+!!!! i only use the 11.1v packs because thats the highest volt rating the company will warranty on the motor and ecs..

All of those look great!

Love the float plane!

I have the first set of paint on my Rising Storm done, I'll get the second coat on in the morning and post some pics.

Here it is, naked anyway.

Went the other day to a big mall and saw a special shop dedicated to R/C cars and planes. I saw that huge helicopter running for $6500 . I nearly flipped!
You can buy an SVX with that

But I will get a nice low budget Helicopter... a lot around here MADE IN CHINA

WalMart sells mini R/C heli's for about $30. They're a ridiculous amount of fun. About 4" long, you can fly them in your house. Recharge from 6 AA batteries in the transmitter. I've bought a few of them. They don't last all that long, but for probably the most fun I've goten out of 30 bucks in a long time.
