    So I've seen people in the local parks playing frisbee golf & I'm gonna give it a whirl. Bought a couple discs today. There's more to this than I thought. They have distance & fairway drivers, mid-range & putters. Different levels in each as well. The discs range between $8-$25+, bags, the whole bit. Haven't been out yet, need a putter. Besides its raining here. Has anyone tried this? If so, let me know what you think of it.

    It definitely is a chill activity to play with your friends. Has the right balance of competition and conversation. Personally I think if you find yourself a good putter, mid-range and a driver...you really wouldn't have to carry a whole lot with you around the course. I mean you know you have to have room in the bag for the six-pack.

    Now electric R/C cars are fun! Of course aggravating when things break.

    Seriously though, they should make more remote control Toyota Minis, draggin', driftin' or liftin'! Too many Hummer and F150s, where's the love guys; Tyco's abandoned us!:ROFL:

    That's why I typically get the cheap Tyco stuff. I've got a couple and they've lasted a while, but my pricier 350Z that I painted black doesn't really work anymore. Just a dust magnet in my closet.

    I am currently running a Castle Creation 7700kV brushless in my Slash...haven't broken it yet; though I know it will eventually happen if I keep slamming into things.

    screw that electric r/c car bs lol... you want to get an extremly fast one, go for a nitro powered one.. they sound like weed eaters when they idle my neighbor has one that will do over 100mph and pull wheelies up to 80mph lol...plus I am pretty sure you can have what ever body you want made for it
