Ever heard of the Traxxas Nitro 4 Tec?

I have an E-Maxx that I got when I was 12, and a Jato 2.5. I don't race, I don't have much money to spare on them, but I got them from my dad to play with while him and his buddy used to drive their R/C Nitro planes.

I guess it's been 20 years since I drove one. My last one was this, and I still have it:

Kysosho made great cars, but unfortunately this model was a disappointment. Over jumps it was nose heavy. I took it apart and converted it to a RWD but that isn't the same obviously.

EDIT: This is a really tight race. 2 of these guys are neck and neck the entire time.

RWD is the best. These are 1:10 scale dirt buggies like mine. Much fun to drive. I like the buggies for the clearance and overall terrain versatility, not to mention jumping ability. This is carpet so these cars have insane grip. But asphalt is perhaps more fun.

But you can set up a track on a small budget, or no budget at all, if you want..

Anyway, R/C cars can be shit-loads of fun, especially if you have friends to race with. Great hobby. You can go to organized races at the hobby shops that sell these kits.

I can't imagine how much these guys must practice to be able to drive these cars like that... I want a REVO so bad... But I don't have money for it.
