The Traxxas eRevo off-road truck with brushless electric motor can tear up a field with speeds of up to 65mph! scale models. These models have everything from large exhausts to hydraulic disc brakes. Most people buy an off-road car to begin with, as it can obviously be used off road or on road and therefore one has greater flexibility where to use it. The parts for these don't come cheap, and many of the higher end models can be upgraded with hydraulic disc brakes and alloy parts. The fun is in repairing and upgrading the cars as much as it is in driving them! If you want to take it further, then there is the world of RC car racing. Just locate a club near to you, and off you go! So, to sum up, nothing quite as satisfying as blasting an RC car around a track. For a moment, just switch off, forget any worries and stresses, and become at one with you and your machine. Just tell the wife you bought it for the kids! ■ Snapped wheel upright on my vintage Tamiya Frog. That's £10 right there! dentaltownuk.com \\ SEPTEMBER 2017 67http://www.dentaltownuk.com
