best $20 I've spent in a long time
 

so my brother and I do senior portraits for a high school, sometimes we have long breaks with nothing to do so my brother gave me cash and the goal to find something entertaining to do

since we had a 5d on hand anywayyy we made a little video of my purchase(s):

Hahaha that was awesome man.

nice

pretty cool. never seen those. what brand are they?

Ken Block's got nothin' on you

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 5d *drool*

Those are awesome! My friend works at a mall and hooks us up with the Helicopters.. All of us got them for our birthday and they are a ton of fun to fly around on a rainy day when we are all together.

haha great way to kill time

these are the "fast lane" brand from toys r us

I think they're a great deal for the price, definitely worth it so far

Very well shot, I dig it! They look like tons of fun. :)

Hahah nice. Makes me want to dig my XMod out and get it fixed....anyone remember those things?? I did the lithium upgrade and it shredded some of the plastic AWD kit parts I think.

I have like 6 of those things in my basement somewhere! I was all into it for like 3 months.

Really like the video, real clear.

how do they drift on ground that isnt as slick as hardwood?

Hey Keith, great job by you and your brother, very KOOL, this guy has got NOTHING on you guys !!!!!!

haha thanks guys, that video is awesome!!!

and on things not as slick they're not that great, on really hard carpet or linolium they work okay but only on a full charge. if you get them definitely get rechargeable batteries or you'll burn through them like crazy. you'll also want a lot of space, I was messing around with one in my kitchen and it wasn't nearly as fun as a big open space.

Classic. Good stuff.

LOL....I remember we had a bunch of threads about those a few years back. I had one that I ordered a bunch of parts for. Wire upgrades, carbon driveshafts, better suspension parts, good tires, etc. Also did a lot of weight reduction. I still have mine somewhere....
