    Now, I'd just like to know who else is part of the wonderful RC world out there. I've been into RC cars for just over 13 years now and I'd like to know from those of you who also enjoy RC. whether it's cars, trucks, helicopters, boats, drones. Whatever. Here's a video of my Xray T2 with my GoPro mounted on top.

    On top of this though, does anyone have suggestions on what my next mod should be to my truck? Take in the fact that I'm young and starting a business currently so I don't have much money.:confused:

    Don't have any rc toys, except a big plane I crashed years ago right after I bought it and haven't fixed, ha. But I've been told my truck looks like an rc truck, heh:D

    That's all from the shell. The camera was on a 3M GoPro mount.

    I'm sure, that thing is locked tight in there. The go pro puts weight on the shell and causes it to flex while I drive it.

    I think the next step is to RC the Tacoma itself. Either that or jump the RC car through some bad ass rings of fire.

    Just stellar maintenance.

    Most new small business fail because there is either no formalized business plan to work from (and of course adjust as needed) and/or there is inadequate cash to keep the business alive until some profit begins to occur. Often as much as 3 years out.

    Unless you have a distinctly different cash flow for your toys, it may be time to be conservative with the playthings.

    Best wishes for a successful business!
