They are fun as hell right up until you realize they are so fast they run right out of radio range about the time they hit full speed..
I used to have an RC boat that ran 80 mph... It was gas powered... If I was in a fast boat, I could stretch it out for a while... or drive it on a small, 2-4 acre lake... Then you could row out to it when you crashed or ran out of gas...

Hell, my T-Maxx only has a top speed of 45mph and it gets out of range pretty fast too. You don't realize how quickly a quarter-mile reception goes away. What really sucks is when you put it on its hood 100 yards away and you gotta hoof it over to the crash-site to put it on its wheels and restart the engine (and pray the nitro didn't drain from the tank, in my case)
Okay, that's it, let's all bring our R/C's to the fest
