ever thought about a PLANE?....http://www.hobbyzonesports.com/Produ...ProdID=HBZ6500
if you would ever think of getting a plane you sould get a slow stick and a gws radio kit with the reciever, servos, esc and battery (battery for the reciever and the radio) it will only cost 130 so after you find out the basics of flying then get a nitro trainer it will cost about $300 but who cares just use the rest of ur money to upgrade your savage. i would

I don't believe that they are available yet...The designer/inventor I'm sure is patenting/has patented them and will probably sell the design to a major manufacturer (At least I would). I have seen those on several different sites and everyone wants one. They will make a killing if they can bring them to market!

Take the $1,500 you have and put it towards that diamond ring she wants. Your gonna have to one day and if you do it now, then you may be able to keep your current toys. And if you're lucky, you may even get to play with them form time to time.

Enjoy.

i bough that thing once and it is a peice of crap DO NOT BUY IT!!! the boat works well but the car keeps flipping and the plane is to heavy to fly but some times you will get it off the ground but on land ing the wing gets caught in the prop and gets torn up and its a pain to remove the screws to change the pod to a different vehicle.

Yes they did! They took it to the great salt flats and ran it without anybody around. Jamie Hynemen (Not sure of the last name spelling) worked on it...that was a story in RC Driver earlier this year, also.

I had Helis, electric and nitro, then I sold them and bought a Savage 4.6 SS. Now I am looking again at selling the 4.6 and get a electric heli again. I personally think the thrill of flying a heli is just something an RC car can never give you. If I were you, I would start with cheapest electric heli, learn to hover and then upgrade to better heli.

The best way to spend $1500.00 is to buy a Kyosho MP 777 SP2 1/8 buggy. Put a Nomadio radio set in it. Put a Novarossi .21 long stroke race buggy engine on it, and top it off with Futaba digital metal geared servos and Proline Crime Fighter tires and you my friend have well spent $1500.00 or a little bit more.
