When 90's begin appearing as RC we will be sure we own classics already. (i'm pretty sure right now).

That is sharp looking! Did you make that or is there a place to buy it?

If you guys like to see well detailed RC off-road vehicles, check out Scale 4x4 R/C - Home There are builds on that site that will make you stare at the screen for hours in dis-belief thinking there's no way it's an RC model. I'm heavily into the hobby, doing a lot of scratch building w/ styrene and steel.

Nice, I plan on getting an Axial ax10 scorpion rock crawler, I will probably get another bronco body for it. Ive seen a few builds on youtube that are unbelievable. Its amazing how much you can do to an rc car.

I haven't spent any real time with R/C since the late 80's. Picked up a few used ones in the last 10 years and they've sat, languishing on the shelf, collecting dust. It's amazing to me how much some of them that I played around with in the 80's are worth now!!! I've seen them priced several times more than what I bought the kits for back then. I guess they've become "collectible".

Here's a pic of the last vehicle that I built, it's a 1/6th scale ****** MB Jeep. It started out as a Hasbro push toy, now it's fully RC operated along with working lights, winch and steering wheel. The drivers hand moves left and right with the steering wheel which moves in sync. with the front wheels steering.
