    I had a T-Maxx, all Super Maxx aluminum parts, with a big block conversion, but didn't get a chance to get any pics before it sold. Between two enthusiasts, they bought all of my stuff within 48 hrs of posting it on Craigs List
    I loved these cars. I enjoyed building them more than driving them.
    That Revo looks sweet but i really like that crawler ...what brand is it ??

    My TV, PreAmp, CD, DVD, Cable box, fan and light remotes are awesome.

    As soon as the Stepford Remote Control is available on Amazon I am getting one for every room and every car I want to be the first on this board to write review.

    I really enjoy listening to the audio and video system. Some of the equipment is 30 years old and has a better sound than most of what is bought today. It is really fun to have someone who has never experienced a quality sound system hear it.

    None of my pics are digital, since I have not been real active in the hobby for a while. Here is a quick pic of some of my planes in storage.

    Oh, and a couple cars too, lower right.

    I've probably had 50+ airplanes over the years. Once you learn how to fly, you never forget. Just like riding a bike. If you are serious, I can teach you.

    Oh man would I. I'd first need to buy a beginner plane so as to not fear of wrecking it.

    I've won 2nd place in a buggy race at a local track that was up and running years ago. I'd love to get back into this if I could find somewhere local to run. That stuff can get expensive.

    I still have a remote plan that I'm scared to fly again. Crashed it the 2 nd time I flew it.

    I went through a number of trainers before I got the hang of it. Par for the course. Since then, I've had planes that I've flown dozens and dozens of times. On the other hand I've had planes that had very short lives due to mid air collsions, pilot error, mechanical failure, battery failure - most notably on a 1/4 scale that caused a spectacular crash caught on film, even a crash that was reported in the newspaper.
    Extremely fun and rewarding hobby. And extremely expensive.
