So i wasn't really sure where to put this but it does have a motor and you can race it so it's going here i guess. so one of my buddies broke out his r\c trucks and I took a few shots at it. it was actually much harder than panning at a track or something since they change direction and speed so quickly and they are not on a predefined path. anyways there was a high failure rate but here are a few that i liked. C&C appreciated

These things must be nigh on impossible to keep up panning with!!

i want to say it is but i'm not entirely sure, this was probably only the second time i've even seen them and i'm not really that knowledgbale about them. i know that the one in #4 has a smaller motor,shorter wheelbase, and is not quite as wide as the blue one but they're both 4wd.

^oh yes, it's crazy how agile those things are, i had never really seen them run around a lot before and it's amazing how far remote control cars have come.

Yeah, looks like a Revo, too low to be a T-Maxx.

Nice shots, as a fellow RC driver, nice to see some shots.

These toys are great fun! I have a XTM Mammoth ST. Unfortunately there aren't any clubs near me so most of my fun is bashing.

Nice pics big_sur. Looks like your friend has the suspension set *REALLY* soft.


Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.

Nice shots! The first one is a Revo, the second car is a T-maxx. I have an electric Rustler. It's a fun hobby when they work. It's expensive and they seem to break often. I need to put mine back together.

i always thoruhgt trucks were cheaper to run? It was costing me a ton of cash to keep the MRX3 running. so much speed and all carbon fiber = lots of $$$ to repair.

Actually, unless the post has been edited, the images are all Revos. There's no T-Maxx there. The one with the shorter wheelbase is a Revo 2.5, while the longer one is a 3.3.

Nice captures. I enjoy trying to take shots at the track myself.
