    Nope. That's what has kept me from buying them sooner, but when I saw John Force and the rest of his team in Camaros last weekend, I thought I better get these before they're gone. The day after the race, Monday, all places were sold out of John's car and Courtney's was on limited supply.

    Shit!! I was doing $200+ a day when I was learning to fly helis. Perhaps, learning to fly in the living room wasn't the best idea...

    I think I'm about ready to bite the bullet and buy myself a 450x RTF. There are some good deals online since is seems like Quadra's are the new "it" product and driving down the price a bit of the traditional helis.

    Here's my next purchase, but Kim will probably divorce me. These will be awesome on the Revos or Summits...

    Got the Funny Cars on Monday. I don't think Traxxas knows how to build crap. These things are amazing. Every Traxxas car I have, which is eight now, are tanks. Excellent engineering and very high quality parts. Not cheap construction at all. I've flipped my Revo end-over-end on pavement at about 50MPH, that's about ten cartwheels, and it keeps coming back for more! Traxxas RULES!!! Should get the X0-1 next. 100+ MPH...

    After a torturous long weekend of 15 hour days in Ogden UT. My employer surprised me with a very generous bonus check on top of the scrap metal $ yet to come. So I splurged a little.

    Should be awesome, small enough for almost any of the models to carry, land and air.

    This is what I would like to do, we'll see how well this stuff works.

    FPV gear should arrive today. (Replacement) 350 QX3 arived yesterday. I am really looking seriously at getting one of these Luminare or Blackout quads.

    This video really makes me want to start ordering parts! Anyone want to buy a Blade QX3 BNF, NIB?

    So the FPV came a day late with the snow but it is pretty cool. The camera in this package is a transmitter too, so not great range and with the snow I flew it a bit with the small quad but it'll take some practice for sure to fly well. put it on the Emaxx and what a kick. running around the house with the mini E Revo now!

    I miss being in the RC game. I was way into it back in 2011 when I had a whole setup of cars and helicopters. I like the pics of the snow driving, that would be really fun! I hated riding through mud tho and having to clean everything off of the unit afterwards. I enjoyed hitting Wheel Park at Iliff/Chambers they had a little dirt track there setup for RC cars only, and then there were the skateboard ramps I liked to jump my Ruckus off of:

    Heck yeah, my favorite places to play with RC cars; skateparks. I've got so much air I am amazed the abuse some RC cars can take; old school Tamiya Super Hornet

    My photographer buddy came over this weekend with his $8,000 camera and shot a bunch of stills. I thought I'd animate some of the stills together for the hell of it. The files are bigger than I thought they would be, but I've never made an animated GIF before. I played around with the playback speed a little. I love the stop-motion look of the stills running in sequence.

    Looks like it's time for that first mow of the year!!

    They load a little slow, but run fine once they do. Links to a few more...
