      What ever happened to on-road grip racing? I remember spending my childhood in front of the local hobby town USA, racing around PVC pipes with my 1/10th scale team Losi JRXS. I can't find anywhere even remotely close that does indoor or outdoor on road racing anymore.

      @@NNFaNRacingoutdoor onroad is somewhat dead in America. Definitely more popular in Europe. Indoor carpet on road (12th scale pan car/ touring car) is still somewhat popular, but the most popular rc racing right now I would probably say is 10th scale offroad carpet racing. The grip is so high that in the end it feels pretty much like onroad, just with some fun jumps here and there. I would totally reccomend trying out a 10th scale 2wd carpet buggy.

    in early 2021 I bought an M-08 Tamiya concept RC kit (and then you have to order the motors, servos, the polycarbonate body of the car you want, paint, etc. seperately). It was such a fun build and enjoyable thing to do. I also love building gundams mostly and ive done a FEW regular model kits. You even get to tune the suspension with different shock oil, damping settings, spring stiffness and ride hight, different control arm adjustments for different camber levels, etc. I highly reccomend building an RC car kit if you can. Mine isnt built as a drift car though, just a racing RC with an ND Miata body.
    I think after buying EVERYTHING for my car I spent maybe $500 total?

      I have a Traxxas Slayer and a Revo 3.3 which are Nitro RC cars. Had them for 9 years ever since I was little. When they broke originally my dad paid for it but ever since I got a job when I was 15 I paid for the parts. I’ve paid upwards of 2300$ in total over 3 years of having the two of them. But also what didn’t help is when my friend tried to drive the Revo and drove it straight into a carriage wheel and annihilated the whole thing. Chassis was bent, and everything on the front end was done for so I had to rebuild the entire thing. Not to mention the Nitro engines that they use cost 300$ for a new one and i used to break them a lot because I didn’t know how to tune the carburetor properly when I was little so it would run to lean or to rich and the con-rod would split right in half 😂

    I used to be way into bashers and if you're considering it, it's an amazing hobby if your near a little forest with loads of walking trails or whatever. It's decently cheap and the scale feels like you're actually driving a car, but 3rd person and with less risk of injury. Seeing the little suspension work and the sheer power is amazing.

      I was into bashing for years. I thoroughly enjoyed 1/5 scale much more than 1/10 or 1/8. The way the 1/5th scale handles and the power they have make it so much more fun. The weight helps it handle better. I used to fly my 1/5 buggy up huge hills where my 1/10 truck would just bounce all over

    Also, I actually jumped just a little at 9:00 when, suddenly, from behind a boulder, appeared what I initially thought was the head of an excited dog - perhaps a young Rottweiler, I thought, from the few fleeting frames - with excited-dog designs* on either Nolan or the wee Bronco... Then, after two or three times through that section of video, viewing at normal speed, I played it back at half speed. This was because I'm a dork, and I wanted my timestamp to be accurate. The funniest part, in my mind, is that I wasn't in any doubt about the existence of a dog! I wasn't at all considering that anything more would be revealed during a slower play-through of the shot.
    At long last, on the third or fourth time through, I finally realized the surprise cameo was, well... not a dog at all!
