Thanks got the mustang at Christmas time and still not had a shot of it yet. Only ran the fuel through it lol.

My buggy needs a pull start again. Think I'm too rough with it lol. What ones have you got ?

Other than the 1/4 scale jet dragster...the other RC cars I have are electric...have an 8th scale "Stadium Buggy", they're lots of fun...... and a 10th scale 4WD "Serpent" speed machine fitted with a "Steve Neu" 10hp 1521 motor running 12s and 200amp ESC.... like this one:

Serpent-S120-LTR-Pan-Car_1-copy.jpg


It's absolutely mental and has been clocked at 212kmh at Sydney Dragway late last year... :mrgreen:

Stayed at my dad's Friday night and we went flying at his local :-) well i flew my power glider and then i flew his smaller powered jet, it was really windy but i was amazed how his flew, not sure he was too happy with my performance given that it's his club and i haven't flown for a few years :lol:
Fixed wings are easy to fly tho, couple of stunts, knife edges, rolls etc :-)

Mine is a sail plane so really didn't like the wind :-( i had it going full chat and it was stationary in mid air :lol:

Yes mate...not like your normal 2 or 3 channel RC car though....damn thing needs 8 channels to operate :shock: Throttle, brake, steering, parachutes, afterburner, hotstreak, manual fuel cut-off and a separate electronic turbine shutdown.
Silly thing has twin, parachutes and twin pot hydraulic, carbon rotor disk brakes on the rear wheels. :mrgreen:
