While also being a big fan of Beyblade, I am a huge fan of Radio Control (RC) Cars/Planes. Driving them is a pleasure, especially hobby-grade RC's.
I use both Toy-Grade and Hobby-Grade Cars/Planes, they both can pack great entertainment!
Talk about RC Cars/Planes here! No matter what they are! Anything RC belongs here!
Anyways, tomorrow I will be purchasing the newly released:
-Air Hogs Hyperactive ~ $39.99
-Silverlit 3D Twister ~ $49.99
-Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders ~ $24.99
All of these cars can reach over 15 Miles Per Hour [MPH], or 24 KM/H.
I will also be making a brand new YouTube channel, with a new camera for RC Vehicles! Hopefully some people here also enjoy this one-of-a-kind hobby!
I used to play with them sort of stuff. I once got a remote control helicopter for Christmas and I opened it and decided to take it for a 'test flight'. So I stand there, getting ready to launch it. I then press the button, it hits the roof and falls down to the ground, broken.
Many people do not realize it, but when buying an RC you have to read reviews.
Even TAKARA-TOMY makes great RC Cars.
You make it sound like they don't.
I have owned many RC Helis over the years.
• Airhogs Havic Heli (Limited Target addition)
• Airhogs Reflex
• Airhogs Havic Heli
• Airhogs Havic Stinger
• Syma S107G
My favorite was the Syma. Airhogs is not a good company to buy helis from. Same goes with most of their products.
Sadly, my Syma is broken. I think the battery got disconnected, which should be easy to fix.
I even modded it to go faster. I took the rear propeller from a Havic Heli,and put it on the Syma. I then turned it upside down, to make it function correctly.
Such a nice little toy :]
I take it you're more experienced then most of us at flying RC planes.
What makes me say that is you are flying planes with the wings on the bottom, and shorter wings.
I wanted to start RC planes. Didn't work well.
I wanted to buy a Slow Stick and use that. However, I don't have $300+ to start.
I might buy a $80 starter for park flying. It really depends if I'll keep doing it though.

Well if you really want to get into Rc planes you should look for a rc plane / helicopter club around where you live..
I'm a member of one thats just near my house.
The people are really nice and helpfull.
You should look up on the web and see it there is any around.
Then you could go there and ask the people about how you would get into it..
I only fly planes cuz my dad got me into it.
and there are some very good ones to learn on that dont break the budget ( like ready to fly for $100)

I found the reflex to be a good plane, quite durable.
Syma is a great company, seriously they make hobby grade mirco planes, at such a low price!

The replica looks quite nice, is it foam? That would be disappointing..

I don't the think the slow stick is worth buying at all, to be quite honest.
I think you should look at the Air Hogs Osprey.
I like the small indoor helicopters. I used to have a Mosquito, but it's broken. Now I have a Gyropter, which I got on sale and has a damn good battery life and control. It's got pretty good shock resistance too.
Did you not say what I think about Air Hogs?
Air Hogs = waste of money.
As for Slowstick. Have you ever seen the videos online? It's a 3 channel, and easy to fly.
It's just the price tag is too much for me T.T
As for the replicas, they are foam. It's light and durable, so no real reason to complane about it.
Plus, it's easier to glue foam back together.

Gyropters are pretty good!

I have, and is it not 29.99?
No, foam is just not worth buying
unless you have a big area.
It's $29.99 for the plane.
It doesn't come with a transmitter, motor, wires, or anything else.
Total cost: $300+
Sorry, didn't catch you not having the equipment.
Honestly, you could you try buying stuff from:
www.hobbytron.com
Used 'em before, great!

I actually have two hobby stores a short drive from my house.
However, one is one way, the other is the opposite.
That reminds me...
When I was around 11, my dad owned his own car lot. One day I asked if we could go to the hobby store that was close by. Upon arrival, we found out it was the grand reopening. I got to pop a balloon and get a prize. The prize was a new train engine for a train track. My dad then entered for a raffle to win a train set.
Later that day at 7, we got ready to close up and leave. We then got a call from the hobby shop saying we won set. We went, picked it up, and I tested the train I won earlier that day on the track there. Turns out it didn't work so they gave me a new one.
Still use it every year at Christmas :]
Just bought a broken Hyperactive, gotta return it.
My dad ordered an EXI 450 R/C helicopter kit and it came in the mail this monday!
I guess cars are in this thread aswell...
believe it or not having spent ages looking for the best RC cars available readily to me the best was actually those old Flash & dash cars, they're actually pretty good for how cheap they are, easy to steer and can get quite fast on an open straight, however the drifting is hard to do, only pros can do it. so not me.
Since winter is comin up, icy roads are easy to drift on. I got the traxxas Reveo(gas) and stampede(electric). Traxxas is the best company for gas rc cars. Im thinkin 'bout making snow ramps and obstacles for it. I dont know how much it is because a good friend of my dads gave it to him. Its worth the $$$ if you get it. its ready to race, but its for pros. If you are a beginner, get the stampede. it can take a hit.
ha yesterday I took out my favourite flash & Dash car X-wind and it was icy on the roads, so I put it on the ice and was trying to drive it but it was skidding too much, but I tried a different one and it was brilliant, it could drift without spinning off and it was extremely fast, I tried a jump and it got up to maybe a foot and a half off the ground! I have to admit they didn't leave anything out of the designs, and as you can tell I've fallen in love with them!

Thats cool! my dad made a custom RC car ramp, it has 3 hights, (small) 1 foot high, (medium) 2 feet, (EXTREME) 2 1/2 feet! my Revo survived them all. One time i almost went into my neighbors yard on extreme, but it crashed into the fense and popped the front ball joint out, fortunatly it went back in. It went a good 5 ft of the ground!Great time. Dont Try This at Home!
Anyone ever had a Radio Shack Zip Zap Micro RC?
I had a bunch when I was little
Now they sell X Mods instead
Im gonna get a Nerf longshot gun and mod it into an RC command fire. You push the button when the enemy is in range and it fires. Also ya know thosec rc cars with the spy camera? i want one of those for xmas to help me in nerf.
I think Hasbro read this and relesed the RC I mean IR beys
