The *Unofficial* GPF RC Thread

around here you need to have a million dollar liability ins plan for it.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!


Iv always wanted to try a plane, im fine with a 10mph one but I dont fancy trying to find a large enough area to fly it.



Slick that nitro is cheaper, there is no info on it, but you still need nitro fuel, glow plug ignitor with spare batteries and charger, spare glow plugs, AND a must have infrared temp gauge, primer bulbs are nice to have to.

Man just the cheap styrofoam planes where everything is glued in are fun to fly and brushless they have huge power to weight ratios. I can't fly them just can't see them very well.
 
Just get a pump that hooks up to a gallon bottle! It is so worth it. I have all the space in the world here in Nebraska. Closest city is 250 miles away...... I would highly recommend the planes. Just buy one of the 60 inch trainers with a 40 engine on it. great to learn on.
 
thats the plane i had, but i got the 60 engines so i could use the larger engine in the smaller plane when id "up grade" yeah right.

open area is not around here, you need to be in a club, use the little air port they own have your proof of ins, to much BS to bother with here.

does look like a ton of fun tho. crashing a plane is a bit worse than say hitting a curb at 30 mph tho lol and every landing theres a chance of huge failure i suppose.
 




tmaxx are great... but 1/8 scale!!!!!>1/10!!!

You could chalk up $600 and go 1/5 scale gas:) Redcat racing Rampage XT
 
Slick I think you need to sit down with yourself and have a talk on what the hell you really want.

Me personally would choose a 1/8 nitro monster truck 4x4 and just be done with ****. Go anywhere do anything

One day I will try this guy, very reliable and can take a beating.

I want an rc car that I can have fun with and don't have to worry about every little thing breaking when I take it out and I don't want to spend too much money try to keep it under $350. I don't know if I want to go Nitro or not as I think an electric would be a better place to start for now.

I suggest a tyco then LOL.

Objects and rollovers break things, if you can avoid that you will never break anything.
