Was hitting close to 60mph

That is pretty sick

Well i know your talking cars , but I had a Prather tunnel hull boat with an 11cc engine and it was a riot. It was approx 36 inches long , but didn't corner well .
When it got up and planed it was passing vehicles on the highway lol.
I'm debating to build another
-
Now you hit one of my weak spots :). When my T/A build drives me absolutely crazy and I need to think of something else, i turn to the RC cars. I really like the vintage ones, that I remember not being able to afford as a kid. I'm currently in the process of restoring a couple of them. This post will be pic heavy!
Kyosho Vanning 1/8 scale, .21 nitro engine, chain drive, 4WD. Bought this recently. It had been stored unopened since 1986. It was great fun to build, and it's insanely fast!

1986 Kyosho Turbo Optima and 1994 Tamiya Ford F-150, both electric 4WD 1/10 scale. I bought the Optima from a friend of mine. It was a pile of dirty worn parts, the gearbox and chain sprockets were completely shot. I managed to find new parts on ebay, the only parts missing now are the driveshafts and motor pinion. The F-150 is my first kit RC car. When I find the receiver and servos for it, I will take it for a spin again. I kind of lost interest in it, when I got into the larger nitro and gasoline cars. Fortunately, I didn't part with it then, and I'm not going to.

Early 1970's Spital Cangaroo Car GX 1/8 scale. .25 nitro engine, RWD. Bought this about a year ago. I took it apart, sandblasted and painted the chassis parts, cleaned the engine and installed new bearings. Right now it's temporarily on hold.

OK, now for the last one: 2007 HPI Baja 5B 1/5 scale (huge), 29cc two stroke gasoline engine. An absolute blast to drive. Very durable and easy to maintain. LOTS of parts and upgrades available.

very cool, is that real? My buddy has one of those cars he bought some crazy batter for it and the thing does like 60 now. He has a hard time getting it up to speed because it constantly just wants to flip over.

Its actually not my RC car but it sure is real. Its an onroad car from HPI. I think I must have one;)
It needs practice to drive those cars, they go very fast. Im not sure that this bodyshell will ever be used in a hard racing;)

I also have an old RC10T buggy that I bought new with paper route money way back when they were the shiz. Have the original box and manuals for it. Havent used it for years but man did I blow money on it when I was a kid.
RC I regret getting rid of the most was a Kyosho USA1 monster truck, it was awesome (from what I remember anyway) Gotta find another some day to restore and play with. That and a Clodbuster, always wanted one, a buddy has two but he wont sell me one!
You guys have some pretty cool rc's
