The most useless R/C you own..... - 01-22-2005, 04:32 AM

1st place-my r/c drift car. We had fun with them for 2 weeks before we realized without a course it was lame. Maybe Jack, Mr tune and i will get motivated one day.

2nd-my stampede. it looks so cool, but its so damn slow.

3rd-my txt-1 crawler-again, looks bad ass, works pretty well for near stock but........i cant find anywhere to use this damn thing.

honorable mention-my mini z supra. it sits on my dresser like a die cast so i kinda forget it exists. used for 4 mins until i picked it up and it was loaded with dog hair.

1st place - My Thunder Tiger FM-1E motorcycle. Hard as hell to drive and
requires a LARGE, smooth, pebble-free parking lot to drive it.

2nd place - My Ofna Titan Twin. Impresses the hell out of people but it's
totally impractical. Too big for Leisure. Might be good for sled pulling.

I only have one....

Radio shack Xmod! Yes I got duped! But I did make it go about 30mph if only for a time...LOL
But other than that my first "real" RC is my Savage and i love it so far. Cause when it breaks it is almost always my fault, and it is usually really fun breaking it!

LOL...

Easily the mini-heli. The rotors still pop off. That damn thing has never seen flight!

I believe he's using 3300s now. I think those are considered pretty big.

Yeah I think they are 3000NIMH from the Ihobby show, unless your talking about different ones.

A good GP3300NIMH will be powerfull.

All the "3300" and "3000" and others is just the amount of runtime they have, not how powerfll they are. (wasn't sure if you knew)
