I guess this is outdoor related so I'll post this here.
Anyone into RC stuff? Before Katrina I was into it big time. Lost everything in Katrina (yall sensing a theme here?)
After K, I bought a Traxxas Revo. Haven't touched it since some time in 2006. Just resurrected it tonight and ran it in the street for a bit. Still got some fine tuning to do but I forgot how fun these things were. My 3 yr old son saw it on the table while I was tinkering with it and he flipped out. He's gonna shite when he sees it running.

I just got into it, I have a redcat caldera. A couple other buddies have them and we make a small track and race. It's pretty fun with other people until you have a head on collision when your both doing 40+. Pieces went everywhere

I've always been interested in those things, what's the cost of a decent setup?

One of my buddies had a 4ft long remote control helicopter. He let me fly it, and two minutes later, I flew it into a tree and got it stuck.
Another buddy had a pretty big remote control plane. I crashed that in 3 minutes and the only thing that was salvageable off of it was the motor.
It is cool until you crash them and they are broken

Had a nitro powered Traxxas truck drove the hell out of it. Been thinking about buying another now that my son is 9 but hell mine did 40mph don't know if he could handle it.
Like anything else it requires maintenance and some know how if you go the nitro powered RC's .
Hard part is finding people with decent shops if something goes wrong and you need some help. Not very many hobby shops around anymore

We bought our son a Traxxas Grave Digger for his birthday a few weeks back. Trying to figure it all out..

I had a pretty cool electric plane. My wife kept on begging me to fly it, I finally let her and she destroyed it in 30 seconds
I would like to get some kind of speed boat for the lake in my back yard

I had a Pegasus 25 years ago. It was awesome. Andy's Hobby Towne. I buy a slot track every few years to play with for a week...then I throw it away.
