Any RC Car enthusiasts?
« on: 07 October 2013, 18:37:56 »
If so, where the hell do you buy them now?

I used to be quite competitive back in the 80s and early 90s. Not really done it much recently, esp since moving here, other than a quick blat around the rugby field.

In the garage were a Schumacher ProCAT, Kyosho Optima, Kyosho Optima Mid electrics, and a Kyosho Burns and Kyosho R200 petrols. Oh, and the glider.

Online is better at this point. Do they sell decent, competitive cars, or just general tat like the local model shop here?

There's hardly anything in mine. A couple of black bags that I can reach without actually going through the hole.
