Bad Ass RC Cars

Grex and I went down memory lane today in site chat. We were talking about RC cars we had as kids. I had a Tamiya Hornet totally customized and built a cool track in my backyard.

Anyway, stumbled on this video on Facebook and thought I’d share. I kind of want one. @h2daddy new hobby? It’s been a week.

Been there and done that. I have had everything from electric buggies to gas powered trucks. I spent way too much money on these things. Actually one of my favorites was a rock crawler. That thing would go anywhere.

Yup. Had a Tamiya Boomerang and a ClodBuster. The buster i decked out with upgraded suspension, servos and motors. The clod buster took two motors one for rears and one for fronts. Thing was a beast.

But later on i got an Avante. That was my speed. Moved over 50+mph carbon fiber frame and all the upgrades. spent a shit ton on it. It was electric so not as fast as the gas ones.

Sadly the boomerang is in pieces, but the clod buster and Avante are still in working conditions sitting in my Dads garage collecting dust.
