New toys

Well my sweetie didn’t get me an RX8 for my birthday but I did get something nearly as good. A pair of remote control electric cars. They are 2WD stadium trucks, 1/10 scale I think. They handle extremely well – hydraulic shocks on four wheel independent suspension and a nice 20 turn 540 motor.

They are quite quick and have lots of scope for accessorising. Anti sway bars, more powerful motors, a range of tyres and rims, cleverer speed controller, gear ratios, bigger batteries and you can even get an RX8 shell that will fit onto the chassis. I guess some of these will happen via the percussive upgrade method (things break).

I got two. It is much more fun playing with a friend.
