Here is my review of the new video.
I'm not sure what to expect, I've never watched a show on RC cars and the like. (I type my reviews as I watch them).
RC cars are insanely fun. I know it seems they are for little kids, but most kids can't afford the new and best stuff out there.
These things run into thousands upon thousands of dollars.
The club race track is damn cool. There is absolutely nothing like that here. That I know of anyway. I usually take mine to a bunch of jumps built by
a bunch of kids for their bikes. They work perfect for RC Monster Trucks.
the buggies you see racing at the beginning are very expensive. Some of them are $600 without radio gear and an engine. Then there
is the stuff needed for those as well. Batteries, glow plugs, fuel, etc.
These buggies can be damn fast too. They accelerate really quick. Soem of them even have three speed transmissions. Fastest I've seen out of a almost stock 1/8th scale buggy was about 70mph.
They get there in seconds.

Heh, RC Boats. I've always wanted one, but I haven't been able to convince myself to buy one. These also can be very fast.
Some of them will go 40MPH out of the box. The little tugboats and such would be kind of boring if you ask me. I want one that goes really fast.
Those little steam engines are pretty cool though.

The model show was pretty neat. Showed some cool cars. The 1/5th scale cars are crazy. Huge ventilated disc brakes and everything. Too bad they
are thousands of dollars. It would be fun to drive.
The construction vehicles were very cool I think. The bulldozer and dump trucks were cool. If I had a garden, it would be the way I'd move dirt around!
That is if I had the cash to buy these toys.
The little hill climb competition was funny. That poor little truck, heh, mine would go up it without a problem!

Some of the detail people go into these things with is insane. Very talented and patient people.


The airplanes are very cool. I wouldn't ever buy one simply because of their price. I would hate to plunk down all that cash
and crash the thing into the ground or a tree. Crazy stuff. I can't imagine how much these things cost.
The helicopter is also very cool. Heh, and again, I'd be afraid to fly it.
I wonder how fast some of these planes will go?

A very entertaining video. But it's definately not for everyone.
Thank you to Jabba for putting this up. I like the video, but I don't think there will be much demand for them. I'll continue to watch them if you keep putting them up though.
