Default Shoot em!

I like to shoot about as much as drive. I figure there are others here that enjoy snappin pics too. So, let's see your favorite shots or vids YOU'VE taken or of your largescales. I'll post up more if folks want to play along.
















I didn't find any other largescale picture threads that weren't full of old broken links.

Wow Sheo!  Two words come to mind, and the first one is holy.  Stunning cars.  Same to you Foxy.  I'm jealous and humbled.  None of mine are in the same ballpark as far as looks.  My ole lady paints mine and is quite talented at it.  They just don't stay pretty for about as long as it takes to fire em up.  She just finished a proline 5b body last night.  With any luck we'll have time to trespass the local dirt pit this evening and get pics.

Sheo, no.  That's a km bug body.  It was free to me.  It's fairly different and not a clone of the proline body.  I was almost afraid to bash with it after she painted it (at least until gettin pics), but it has proven quite tough.  It's not as flexible as the proline and I don't abuse it.  It is quite thick though and has survived some bashing and hard impacts with minimal cracking.

Some of these landings weren't too graceful.

I snapped a few this evening.  It was really too late for good shots once we finally got to go.  Then the throttle servo bit the dust.  Thank goodness for the kill switch and her quick reaction to shut it off.

Willclark77, those are excellent shots right there. Looks like fun. What engine is that Baja using? I like the paintjob on the shell too.

I've seen this one in one of your previous threads.
It's awesome.
Love the detail!













And I love this one!

Pics of RC's standing still don't do it for me.
Bring on the action shots!

Sweet shots!   Keep em comin.  We went this morning for a few minutes.  She tried shootin while I drove.  I'll post some of em when I get a chance to process and upload.

Sheo, it's a 4 bolt zen g290.  I will never buy another cy after using this one.  I started typing this last night and had to go.  Is that a reed engine in your first pic?  I've never had a one.  Heck, I've never bought a ported engine.  I've ported my own with decent success.  Probably nothin compared to an obr, esp, ts, etc one.

Oh, my favorite pic from rcing.

Great thread with some great photos. Nice work guys! The only time I get to take shots is when I am out doing coverage for LSN or doing some random testing. Although this year I plan to spend a good amount of time just shooting at Dunetoberfest at Buttercup.

Here are a few shots from the 2011 Hostile Bajafest for you all to enjoy.
