@shashank - wow that looks like a lot of fun.
@vert1go - that too is a smashing looking RC. Will wait for the videos.

mail4ajo · 26th May 2011, 00:18

Nice Pics, Vert. Awesome Bokeh. Have you tried any other large scale RCs?

Vert1go · 26th May 2011, 00:25

yajaman99 and mail4ajo - thank you, it's an awesome truck. I've been using my Baja 5B mostly, which is the same vehicle without the truck body. I haven't used any other large-scale RCs so I have nothing to compare them to, but I absolutely love the Bajas. Never had any problems with them and being 2WD, they're a lot of fun

I'll make a video of the Baja this week.

mail4ajo · 26th May 2011, 00:30

Yes, the Baja are awesome. I just sold my SS to get a 4WD. Not decided which one.

MCD racerunner V4 seems to be the top pick for me. FGs are great too. Tested it a lot, but many things, I dont like.

Do my poor machine (not exactly mine, got it for my nephew) fit for this thread

My all time favorite, Nissan GTR

Handles well & I love it except for the larger TCD

shashank.nk · 1st June 2011, 12:14

@vertigo: Wow! a 1/5th scale !! Can you post a video of it ? Would love to see it in action

@Mr.Boss: That a drift car ?

No, a basic RC car.
Comes with rubber shoes, so no chance of drifting

even at glossy surfaces.

BTW got a Lamborghini too. Again a 1:24 scale RC

shashank.nk · 2nd June 2011, 20:48

I wonder if using tape on those wheels would make it a drift car

Nonetheless, car looks good!

Thanks buddy. Let me try out this.

BTW visited Model Zone at Milton Keynes last week.
Great collection I would say. Planning to get some RC & Scale Models this week end.

Such technology was demonstrated on a BMW 7 in a James Bond movie. I have the forgotten the movie name but Pierce Brosnan was the Bond?

crackparag · 7th July 2011, 21:43

Looks good. Similarly, I remember Lewis Hamilton controlling an F1 car via a BlackBerry Storm.

Guys Some pics from Gauda Mall Bangalore stall, I will be at Mumbai phoenix mall the next 2 weeks (Fri, Sat,Sunday) 22,23,24 & 29,30,31, while Vaidee will be at the Delhi Mall.
The cool thing about it is you can drive the cars from anywhere on Planet Earth as long as you have internet connection on your phone & the cars have access to internet via WiFi & they stream back live Video to you.

Oh thank god!
I was thinking about real cars.

What will happen if there is a disconnection, will the cars stop or just go out of control?
