Dennis, is that you in the bottom picture? You always looked bigger in person!
But seriously folks, that is an electric right, what about a gasser?

Those are 1/5th bikes. Gassers are fast but most say that around the track the electrics are faster. It all depends on the motor, gears, etc...in a straight line race the nitros will probably top out faster but the electrics will take it out of the hole. Electrics are just so much more responsive so you have to drive them differently. This is a pretty nice track out in Burbank CA.

Dennis, is this the new hobby? Or do you just get so little time to ride the real deal that you must supplement?

How have you been bro? You should come around and check out Ws new 430, one awesome vehicle.

Tom...RCs have always been a hobby but just never the time do it on a regular basis

I haven't driven my on-road nitro car in a long time and now my brother is trying to get me started with these on-road bikes. He's the one that actually races these things. The RC bike would probably end up costing me more to run than my actually crotch rocket

Actually ran into W this morning (can't miss those rims on his BMW) and chatted a little. I will have to stop by next time I'm in the area.

I will be over there Thursday night working on the Mopars.
