Back into the RC buggy hobby.

Got gifted a RC buggy. Had a Radio Shack one for years that finally died awhile back. HOSIM 2.4 GHz. 4WD. 1:16 Scale. Brushless motor. Took it for a rip today. This thing is crazy good right out of the box! For the price and what you get, it's hard to beat. RTR. Even comes with 2 batts. if you want to piggyback them for longer run time.

Christmas of 1988 I got a Nikko Rhino. I still have it, but need to fix the steering mechanism.

I had a lot of fun with those things.

Well, have the perfect lot for it. House backs right up to a very large paved lot.

The R?C Hobby like any thing has a rabbit hole that you can get sucked into. I worked at a Hobby shop for 17 years and signed my paycheck back to the boss on more occasions then I would like to admit. We supported the local racers in our area that traveled to different tracks to race throughout the country. I do miss it some days but have moved on to other rabbit holes aka here.

Way cool hobby to have. My friend was into flying hand made airplanes. He spent a bit of $$ and hand built his Corsair F4U. He took it out and invited me to watch the maiden flight. Took off fine but he failed to see the telephone pole which it crashed right into after 5 seconds in the air. I looked at his face and never seen such pain, suffering and sorrow. I laughed deep inside very hard but did not show any emotions as I was afraid to get my butt kicked! He no longer did any RC stuff since.

But he's a great golfer.

But RC Buggy is probably a lot more fun! KEEP ON ROCKING!

And way to expensive i think. Buncha folks i know have traxxis stadium trucks. 500-600 just to get going... Cant bring myself to spend that much on one. I wont buy a cheap one as i had those as a kid and never lasted long. Ive seen the abuse the expensive ones can take.

Plus Its a fad with the folks i know that have them...the interest in them comes and goes. Unlike detailing which is a weekly thing lol

For sure. My cousin bought his daughter one last summer. (2020). 4 or 5 hundred bucks IIRC.

She played with it for a week, then we played with it for a few days, and now it's gathering sawdust in the rafters of his wood shop. Lol

You can down a rabbit hole. I have a bunch of Traxxas RC ( Revo, Slash, stampede) vehicles that I race with my Grandkids in a big field, tons of fun.

We have a couple cheap 2 ft long helicopters that we've had for some years now. Ive upgraded the tail blade so it can be flown in very light winds. They are to big to fly in the house lol

Id love to have a decent rc excavator or dozer, but they are to expensive for anything decent

Yea. The tech sure has changed. Can't believe that much buggy at that price point. Notice the run time on one battery is great. I have not piggybacked yet to double it. I think another big thing is if your close to a lot, that is a big plus. No doubt, it is a hobby you can fall down the rabbit hole.
