Any R/C Model Hobbyists Here? (fluff)

I posted this once before, but don't know if the post actually made it up or not.
So I'll try again.
Is anyone here into radio-controlled motorcycles? I'm just getting into the sport. I ordered my first Kyosho 1:8 scale Suzuki bike yesterday. Started out with a little Tyco bike and got hooked immediately. It was a great little bike, just didn't have the speed I wanted and it wasn't made to be modified.
R/C bikes from what I understand are fairly popular in some parts of Europe but just haven't caught on here in the U.S.
I'm saving up for one made in Finland: the Pumilio Tiempo. It's a gas-powered bike and has a pretty radical design. Also a pretty radical price, $350 for the bike without engine or radio gear.

whatever...

My boy is into gas RC cars. He's got a Traxxas Nitro-Sport. Thing really rips.

Now Motorcycles? Haven't seen one. That would be cool. We ride dirt bikes in real life though. I've got a '01 KDX 220R.

The R/C Motorcycle sounds interesting. Haven't yet seen them in action.

I presently have a pair of Hummer 4WD, but haven’t had the time to play with them much:

I’ve also dreamed about having this big doozie, but it’s way more expensive than what I can afford. Maybe in the next lifetime, sigh:

It's a Traxxas 1/6-scale "Monster Buggy"; weighs 22 pounds, and is over 2 feet long. It has a 23cc, 2-cycle, 2-horsepower, Zenoah racing engine.

This must be the one your son has, right? (Do you let him play with it some too? )

That's the one, Yadirf. No, he's pretty possesive of it. I got to break it in, but thats it.

There's an indoor track for RC cars near where we live. I have a blast just watching. Sometimes I stand out on an island in the track and spot cars when they flip. Lot's 'o fun!.
