just an flm rusty right now....
really holdin back on the hobby as I always end up selling stuff.....


why do people like hellis?
what all can do you with them?
I've never flown one so idk how fun it is but it just seems that planes boats and hellis are limited compared to cars

you can jump rock crawl drift em
cars seem like they can do so much more
so why do hellies or planes?
what's cool bout them?

Just trucks and buggies for now. Dabbled in the CX2 for a while - the coaxial heli's were pretty easy to pick up, but as soon as you go to the next level it gets very difficult very fast - takes a serious amount of concentration compared with bashing a buggy.

And don't try to do it in your living room after a fews beers as your significant other will not be to happy when you bang into the tv or knock stuff off shelves.

Right now I have:
BL XXX-T MF2
BL Jammin X-1 CR
BL Revo
BL T-Rex 450SE heli
Nitro Thunder Tiger Raptor 30 V2 heli

I used to have:
Traxxas Nitro Sport
brushed electric Kyosho 2wd buggy
nitro Lite Machines LM110 heli
BL T-rex 450XL CDE heli
and a few other nikko type trucks

BTW T-MaxxRacer32, you don't know what your missing with helis!!!
Trust me you can do TONS more with helis, but it is also alot harder to do. You should check out some of the heli forums like runryder.com or helifreak.com and ESPECIALLY check out the videos that are posted on there. Watch the videos from 3D Masters and the funflys. You won't believe what these pro flyers can do with a heli!

VintageMA- It's funny that you mentioned flying in your living room, because a while back I was flying my T-Rex 450XL CDE in our living room and apparently I pi$$ed off my sister and she threw a "throw" pillow,(no pun intended), right on the main rotor. Needless to say, I was furious after she did that!
