I'm bringing my RC10LS circa 94 back with me from my folks house. Only raced it a couple of times before my track closed down (after I sunk 700 into it on a 7th grade mowing lawn budget) so I'd like to get some more use out of it as well.

well me and all my freinds race touring cars and are starting to get into drifting.i've had lots of differant kinds of r/c cars in the past but road coarse racing has just stuck with me.we used to race at many track every week,but now we do more of a layed back thing at parks a shit.

we can set up a full track in any parking lot.we prefer tennis courts.my freind has a full set of "road domes".

so if any one wants to start a group race thing we go out some times on weds and thurs....this weds we will most likely go drifting again..just shoot me a PM or give me a call......thanks mike

trust me, you don't need an RC car that can go 60mph. You'd have no room to get it up to those speeds. and even if you did, it'd be so fast and far away from you, it wouldn't really be that much fun. One small rock could send it flying, and if you didn't cause injury to somebody, you'd surely break something on the car. To my knowledge, there are no stock equiped RC cars than can get you to those speeds anyway. So you'd have to spend a lot of cash on a car, most likely a gas car.
