Wow, my hobbies are boring compared to you guys.
As you can tell from my avatar, diving is one of my biggest hobbies. Lot's of places still on my bucket list, especially the western Pacific. I also shoot competitive archery (ASA) and bowhunt, turkey hunt,fish, golf and I'm a college sports junkie
Wow those things really move
The buggy (the grey one) and the truggy (red and white one) I've both clocked at 40mph ish offroad with gps. The current open wheel 1/8 buggy record is around 167mph set using the same model RC as the grey one.
Just a few years ago anything electric was a joke, but with the development of brushless motors and lithium batteries, it's rare to see anyone running nitro any more. You can go buy off the hobby store shelf, take it home and go 100mph out of the box. My fastest is a heavily modified HPI Bullet at around 70mph. It will do standing backflips. I've got a buddy running an XO1 that is 100mph+. Once you get up to those speeds, it's hard to even find places to run them.Wow those things really move
Thanks. Yes, it is a 66. Stock 390 rebuilt with some upgrades. This is the only one I've built that isn't my own. Restored it for a good friend, though it was my baby for a couple years.
Yeah, I used to be into in about 10 years ago........I think my fastest was roughly 15 mph lol.
I started with nitro years ago, had to sell my car when I moved overseas but since picking up the hobby again with brushless cars I'll never bother with nitro again. So much cleaner, easier and even water proof. My 1/5th scale is my one fuelie but the 2 stroke pez engines are still easier than nitro
Those are pretty Frenchies! I pick mine up this weekend!My hobbies sound pretty dull next to some of these, but here goes: quilting, dogs and dog rescue, acoustic guitar, and woodworking. I'll see if I can find some photos to share.
