That would be great. Almost anyone that sees me "play" with the r/c's, end up with a shocked look on their face. Some have referred to them as dangerous or violent.

That whole deal started with a friend of my brother (they were early 30's at the time). He had a Traxxas truck that had apparently whipped up on all the neighborhood kids. Knowing that I was into RC, my brother came to me to knock his friend down a notch.

I had a particularly evil cheap (Parma) pan car sitting there, with a 12T Peak and esc with traction control. It handled like garbage but was awesome in a drag race.

After dispatching his friend easily, they went looking for something that could beat it. The crotch rocket was the final straw.

thats a great story!

Great story indeed. Considering a ZX10R is going to cut about a 1.7 sec. 60' ft on the street with a GOOD rider, 1.9-2.0 sec. with average rider, a fast r/c is going to annihilate that. Don't know exactly how quick my Typhon 6s and/or the RC10T4.3 3s can 60' ft, but they would destroy a 1.7 sec. I can only imagine what went thru your brother's friend's head when he seen your pan car immediately rocket away from that bike.
