I used to be huge into r/c racing years ago. Just out of curiosity I picked up a magazine to see where the hobby has headed. Apparently trucks are the new wave. Actually r/c rock crawling is huge right now. I did some research into it and it looks really cool and fun. Here is a video of an event they held. [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1309799194144755750&hl=en](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1309799194144755750&hl=en) I’m definitly down to build one and bash around with. I know you guys did the mini racing. Any interest to get something going around here? ---

The rock crawling looks slow and boring to me. Trucks are where its at though. I have a nitro car and a nitro truck, and the truck is wayyy more fun, and the trucks that are out now are just as fast as most of the cars. New T maxx is pretty sweet, thats what I would buy. ---

I think stadium off road trucks are still the most fun, big jumps and all that shibby. Someone build a nice dirt track, ill break out my old truck. ---

I got out of it becuase I couldn’t stand all the drama that these older guys were creating out there. ---
