Is there anyone here who is into RC cars or used to be into this hobby? I'm thinking about getting a basic electric RC truck that I can just have a bit of fun with on the weekends, and if it takes my fancy then I could upgrade in the future and maybe get into racing or something.
All this has mainly been provoked by the opening of a hobby shop just down the road and me paying them a visit, getting a demo of these little buggies zipping around and instantly feeling the need to have one myself.
I did try RC planes about a year back, but didn't really get into it too much becasue I didn't like the fact that you needed a really calm day to fly (for a beginner anyway) and I also hated having little breakages all the time, which is all too common when starting out with anything RC that flies.
It seems that RC as a hobby can get more expensive than I originally thought at the top end (though not as expensive as some headphone rigs at the top end). But hey, now I'm tossing up between a $200 RC truck or a $200 pair of IEM's!
So...yeah...call me a big kid haha, but these things seem to be so much fun!
