Among my other hobbies. I once had a nice collection of RC vehicles. Nitro, gas, and electric.
The other day I got to looking at some small 4x4 to bash around the camp.

1/18 scale Granite grom. I'm going to do some upgrades. First will be swapping to a brushless motor to give it more power. It's pretty peppy already.
 
Looks and sounds like fun Steve, I don't see an antenna on it. Must be all internal .

What kind of distance do you get with the truck from the transmitter. Asking for a friend.

That is a huge rabbit hole you are getting back into. Some of the guys on my Jeep forum have some serious $$ in them.
 
Looks like a fun little money pit. We all have them.
 
I had a couple friends in high school that were into RC's.
First one had a boat, and he misjudged the controller's distance on a large lake one day. Boat headed out towards the middle of the lake and never came back.
The other was into planes. He was flying a loop, and flew it straight through a chain-link fence.
Smokers are expensive enough for me. At least they stay put.
 
I had 7 or 8 traxxas rc's . And two Hpi gassers a Baja 5B and a 5T. I had close to 3000.00 in the 5T alone.
 
Nice . So much fun . I worked with a guy that was in some RC racing league .
 
They are fun. I had a pretty pimped out Losi Junior T. Raced it on occasion. Loved it until my wife inexplicably drove it into the ocean.
