    what kind of street cars do yall have? been looking at cars since I already have 4 off road RCs. I really like the Traxxas XO-1, but i'm not sure I want a 1/5 scale.

    Thanks, I'll have to look further into that. Tamiya wasn't even on my radar when I thought about cars until now.

    I'm not sure, these I saw were not Block replicas, but may be the same not sure. Appeared to be a lowered Slash?

    from the flying side of the RC world, i picked up a real nice FPV station/setup from Delmarva the other day. only needed a couple things to get it working and installed.

    consists of the ground station brief case (battery or AC powered), and the transmitter setup on the phantom itself.

    [​IMG]

    It pulls the video feed directly from the mini HDMI port on the side fo the gopro.

    [​IMG]

    now i just need a gimbal mount to replace this fixed one
