RE: My teenage addiction - R.C. cars

in #life5 years ago (edited)

That is pretty cool and I have always wanted to have a go at this. I played around with a drone at work and it is not the easiest thing to control. A friend of mine had a RC Rally car and he used to use a syringe with a needle to inflate the tires. Lunch box still looks cool though and it just needed to be modified really.
We still have the model kit shops and a huge radio control shop that has it's own race track and a swanky coffee shop.

Sort:  

when i was managing a resort a professional drone operator stayed with us once he let me play around with it a bit because it had so many safeguards to wouldn't really let you damage it. One of the really cool things was that he could tell the tablet to have the drone return back home and 10 minutes later or so there it was floating at arms length at the same place that he launched it from. This was a very expensive piece of equipment though.

There are some amazing machines out there if you have the money. The one I liked was the drone the guys used for treasure hunting. Can't remember the name of the series now but connected with the astronauts looking from space. Can look it up if you haven't seen it as they actually find plenty. There was a drone that they used that landed on water and took under water camera footage. Pretty amazing really as it was in the open sea.
