New Toy

Himoto Red Wolf:



As sucky as I am at controlling things, especially in small spaces, this little helicopter is kick arse. Dead easy to fly... after 3 outings I can almost land on my wifes outstretched hand

USB charging means you don't kill your remote batteries too quickly too, lovin it really... now to freak out the cat

Cheers, it's a 17" MBP that I have virtually surgically attached. The wife has the 13" MBP and we love em Great little toys

Range seems pretty good although I'm only going around the lounge room, still it goes everywhere I ask it to. Loving how easy it is to fly

Awesome, i may have to invest in one of these.

I was thinking of a Blade CX3 but they are a bit pricey to start off with.

This is basically half steel and the guy in the shop reckons they are near indestructable. I have crashed it plenty of times and it's still going strong. At $45 it's priced pretty well too.

Had a play with helis before, great fun! I'd love to get a Tamiya F104 formula one car too. Do you mind if I add my new toy to the thread, in keeping with RC. I just finished building this...

[Buller_Scott]

badass. now i want to go and spend money on something i absolutely dont need, haha.

oh, and by the way- MacBook Pro, eh????

good man, good man.....

Here is my collection, the whole reason I got the helicopter is because I was dusting off the Revo (after almost 3 years) and was at the hobby shop getting some new fuel. After fueling it up and having it running it seems I need some other parts before it runs right, but looking good otherwise. Might have to get back down to the track one of these days

[TazzyVR6]

Ha nice! I used to race a Revo 2.5 years ago but didn't have the money to keep going, so just used it for bashing. Finally got some spare cash so bought the RC8T, which is all race machine!

Where do I buy one of those choppers?

Where do I buy one of those choppers?

yes, do tell pls....... it would make my little jumpy [my dog] go ape

[The_Hawk]

I got mine form the local hobby shop, they used to haev a website but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. I'm sure you can get the same thing or something very similar from your own local.

So how long does the battery last with these ones?
I was looking at a Syma S006 and their battery only lasts 5 minutes.

I just sourced one from ebay, hopefully it comes with everything i need.
