Its one of my very low priority side hobbie, I've had electric cars for ever. I like electric scale rc cars, I have a tamiya tt-01 to just mess around with, and I've been working on a scale custom 06 ford f250, I have the cassis built and the rest planned out but $300 bucks for the parts to finish it is just too much.

my just sits in the closet....i haven't even broke-in the engine yet...it was the 1/8 NITRO celica GT4...quite frankly, they are expensive to work with and you have to have a lot of patient to learn how to properly run the thing
