40kendgame Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm not talking about toy RC cars like this one: I'm talking about small radio controlled high performance vehicles like this: Do you own one? And if you do, do you race it at a track or do you just bash around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweller of Parables Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I like helicopters better.Once they die they die for good.I broke 6 of them but I have kept the 7th one alive for quite some time now.I name my Heli the Roflcopter because it's design is just funny.$30 + $7 for insurance on the heli = infini-stock of heli's in case it breaks.

40kendgame Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have been wanting to get into helis and I already have an E-Flite mCX. What would be a good next step? (I have a LOT of simulator experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweller of Parables Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 *shrugs*I dunno.But if you ask me, you should probably start on something that's not SUPER expensive.Go to Target or Brookstone or whatever and purchase some decent heli around. ASK FOR THE INSURANCE THINGY!!(It'll save you lots of money and the time)You break one, go back to the store and MAKE SURE to say that there was an engine malfunction or something of that matter. DO NOT say you broke a wing or anything of that nature. There is manufacture defect and personal defect.They will return if manufacture defect, but not if you broke the tail or the body. MAKE SURE OF THAT AND GOOD LUCK!!! (Last I checked they cost around...$30, but with the insurance thingy...around $5-7 more.)$37-$40-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40kendgame Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well, I see you don't fly the big helis. Anyone else have anything to say?Btw, I saw a 400 size fixed pitch heli by Megatech at Target for just $99.99. I liked it, but I would rather get a Gazar Mars 480 or a T-Rex 480 V2 SP2 just because I can get those through the local hobby store, and they have replacement parts available. Why would they even make a toy RC heli in the first place is beyond me... Maybe because they break easily so they can sell more of them? (note: the Megatech RC heli should have been shipped to a hobby store in the first place. High end RC helicopters are NOT toys and should not be treated as so.)
