I used to race HPI electric on-roads and had a couple of buggies. I eventually bought myself a CNC mill and started making my own cars. Mostly made buggies from carbon fiber and aluminum but did get brave enough one time to build a 1/4 scale Mclaren F1 with a 3hp engine.... ya, that was an expensive project.

Sold them all before starting my PhD and I regret every minute of it now!

Next hobby when I have time: RC jets!

Outside of R/C cars (for the racing), here is my current favorite R/C 'toy':

I run M05 and M06 Minis at Carcar and Karz here in Calgary during the winter.

I have a 1/8 brushless monster truck and 1/10 brushless truggy and monster truck. Just bash wherever I find a place that looks fun. The big truck is the most fun and can do backflips from a stand still. The smaller truck is better for around the neighborhood though. I also have a Losi XXX truggy for the kids to play with as it isn't as fast as the brushless motors and it can take a real beating.
