Yet another expensive hobby

So, I’ve been bashing around with remote control cars since I was a kid. Not the Radio Shack specials, mind you, but the hobby-class, racing style cars and trucks. You know, the ones you need to re-mortgage the house to afford, not to mention all the accessories you *have* to have to make the whole set up mint. David has been catching some of my interest in this hobby, and sometimes he and I will sit and work on our cars together. There’s a local R/C racetrack near us, and I’ve begun to take some practice laps actually racing this thing. It’s a lot harder than it looks, and certainly more difficult than bashing the front yard bushes.
