What cool stuff do you do outside of Rc?

I am an asperger, thus my hobbies are always given full attention, and I can only have one hobby at a time. This is now RC, I love 1/8 brushless, converting, and bashing. I love 5-6s lipo setups, with big 4-pole 1500-2000kv motors. I love this forum, seeing other peoples custom trucks and buggies with insane BL-setups My favourite RC right now is my Hyper ST Pro truggy, with 3x spider diffs, bigbores and MMM/1518 1y. It flies on 5s 40C lipo

My first big hobby was skateboarding, street stuff mostly. I miss it so much, but I am too old and my knee makes walking painfull some days. I still hang on to some of the skater-styles for shoes and I always wear a cap, I have several nice ones. I need the cap to minimize eye contact, for my seeing your eyes is like looking at the sun.

Then I started painting and playing miniature wargames, like WH 40.000, and warhammer fantacy. I love elves and the future version the eldar. I have two big armies painted perfecly in a glass closet, both from WH 40.000, the the eldar with jetbikes and all, and the necrons, basically robots with skull like faces that self repair their fallen.

After that I was into snowboarding, since its in my blood from the skateboard days. Still do maybe one day a year, I love speeding and jumping slopes and naturally formed jumps in powder preferably. I cant do any flips, 180's and the like, I am too scared of breaking something.

I also played Heroes of Might and magic 3 A LOT, during a lonely period early in life. Still like the game. HoMM 4 sucked a lot, the 5 was better than the 4, but not the 3. Now the 6 is looking better than all of the previous games. Need a new PC badly!

I also love using my computer, always have, the internet is awesome, and I can sit looking at different cars, esc's and BL motors and dream about what to convert and overpower next, thinking about a big MT or a smaller MT with the new castle 1410. That motor does very good in a 1/10, even on 2s its great.

Cool hobbies you guys have too, mad sailing there on the NOKIA skiff! I hope you all have a good time whatever you do, and be carefull with those guns

I Jet Ski, I'm into high end audio, I own my own shop so outside time from R/C is very low

I do combat robots. Currently undefeated with our redesign of our middle-weight TSA Inspected at 11-0. Two straight titles and four strait podiums!




Not exactly outside of RC though

Is it just me, or is everyone here a badass?

So did you machine all the parts to that robot or was it a kit of some sort? Either way it is fricken awesome!

click his link then click the robot picture, it is all hand built.

Candyman is the OG fabricator. His "maxx bling" got me into brushless, and custom r/c.

Read around his site, amazing stuff.

Thanks, yes everything hand made from scratch using photos for reference.

video of the head opening on my site too, had to use an OLED screen to simulate Cains face, I had to cut the video from the film and them edit together.
