Nitro is cool. Electric racers can be fast, but tiny little engines are awesome. Used to really admire a friend's nitro plane. Never had one myself though. Put a laser and photodetector on them and have battles.
Edit: Okay. Makes sense. Definitely a cool score. Those big ones are very cool.
I'll try to get my SC10 out sometime and get some pics of it. I haven't raced in about two and a half years though. I burnt up the esc and refuse to spend any money on it because what I really want is a Team Associated RC8.2e.
I have a nitro 1/8 scale RD Logics SHO (It's a Mugen MBX5 clone) but the engine it came with didn't last. I got a brand new manufacturer's replacement that I have never even mounted to it for first break in.
1/5th scale is way outta my budget and no one races it near me.
Although I might build me a Large Gas R/C Airplane in the future out of a weed eater motor. That's one of my next projects after I sell my Pinball machine and Arcade machines.
I really don't see any free time in my near future though.
Some nice lookin stuff you've got there. How's it performing? What upgrades are you planning?
