Anyone know where to find a 93-97 Camaro rc body? I've been looking for one I can find the ls1 body style but not a lt1

I doubt your gonna find one for the LT style. You could get the Ls1 style and make a mold then modify/shape the front. You can make a vacuum form table pretty easy.

I painted a HPI LS1 body to match my old car when I had it.

Ok, HPI makes a decent car. I run all Associated. I currently have an SC10, B5, T4, and a NTC3.

I don't know much on the drift cars but my rule of thumb is always buy a kit and build. You know how to fix it when it breaks and you can get decent parts the first time. My SC10 was a RTR and I have about 400 into it not including the truck and battery's to make it what I want. It's not a basher by any means.

I used to have an awd turbo optima back in the day. Chain driven awd... amd it FLEW. Gave it to a guy at a local parts store to fix it for me... and he disapeared with it. When i saw him years later he admited to parting it out and selling stuff. I was a 16 year old kid when i gave it to him... in my 30s and a cop when i reconnected... took everything not to "act inappropriate...."

I had 800+ in that thing.

Ok... im dun. Lol

Any of you RC guys run anything in the air? I have been looking at the quadcopters, and am ordering a lower priced one today to start out working on control and what-not. Ultimately I would like to step into a $4-800 range one, and think it would be pretty awesome for getting some great videos from the Shootout.... After I put a few punks on their trailers :laugh:

I like the AR Drone, but do not like the idea of HAVING to use a phone or tablet, which seems to be the biggest complaint in reviews of this model.

Thanks in advance for input !

I used to have a plane, some kind of RTF. I don't remember what it was. Surprisingly never wrecked it lol. It was flown at a few air shows and was fun, but I always had a hard time controlling it in the air.

I have a Traxxas in my basement that was wrecked years ago. It's a nitro car, not a Rumbler but close to it. It was a riot to drive but was a bitch to start. It sounds like a lot of people use electric these days. I wouldn't mind fixing it and firing it up some time, but I'd have to really overhaul the thing.

I have boxes of stuff for these things but it just got out of control and I had stepped away. If I had all the money I put into these things in my car it would be bad a**. The two little car in the pic I still play with in the house they are cool and fast. the smallest one will almost back flip when you gas it its hard to drive with the lipo battery in it. The second biggest is the micro sct 4 wheel drive. I even have a tamya grasshopper in the shed lol.
