oo 1 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anyone got one of those cool radio controlled cars? Saw a bloke 'playing' with one this morning and it looked brilliant. Must have been about 45 cm long. Looked online and they're about 2 man. Yeah, I know, big kid! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I always wanted a good remote control vehicle. Maybe a helicopter. But my parents would never buy one for me. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My son's got one. It's a Pajero with huge tyres that he bought with his toshidama money. It was 2,000 yen. It's pretty quick though, and good fun to play with. The cheapest ones are about 1,000 yen at Mega DonKi etc. For ni-man, it must be pretty flash. Is it a Porsche? Link to post Share on other sites
sapporo 8 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Saw some old geezer flying a quad copter in the park near my work a couple weeks back. Wish I still had my RC Tyco Viper rajicon from my childhood....the top popped up to reveal a vipers neck and head and it had an electronic water pistol inbuilt! Oh the fun I had!

pie-eater 207 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Some of them are awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 They do look pretty flash, so I suspect quite different from the 1000+ yen things from the discount shops. One would hope so anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oh ..Ya..!! That's on the bucket list. Of course an 80 Series... But...I've also been sussing out a quad copter that can hold a Gopro... Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Would be great to have 'your car'. If your car was fab of course. Copters look well cool too. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 If decent ones come down to 10,000 yen I'll get myself a copter. And some gopro 3 for 3,000 yen when everyone else will be on the gopro 5 or 6. It gets pretty windy round here, so there's a good chance of a copter being carried off somewhere, esp if you go above the trees or right up on the mountain where the footage will be the best. The cheap rajicon cars are just full left/full right/full forward/full reverse, so there's plenty of room for the expensive ones to improve there. Still a lot of fun, and way better and cheaper now than the slot racing cars I had when I was a kid. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 This has got me looking! I thought these things would be much more expensive. When I was young, a friend had a fantastic helicopter rc. It was awesome, I was very jealous. Wouldn't have the space here now, as much as I like the idea of having one. Link to post Share on other sites
634-maru 4 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 A helicopter would rock. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I used to have a Vertibird (can't remember was it called that in the UK, or did I just nickname it Whirlybird?!) and thought it was well cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 OMG....dude, that just brought back so many memories.. I had one, too. It actually worked pretty damned well.. Link to post Share on other sites
