    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


    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you. | Refer a Friend - AussieBroadband $50 Credit

    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...

    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

    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!
