Hope you guy's don't mind something a little different but I take my R/C into the vertical. I currently run a Spectrum DX7 computer radio and AR600 RX's into my planes. As far as how many planes I have... well too many to list here for show and tell.
I'll show you my "daily drivers" as I would call them as they are a grab and go and have fun. The vid for my F-18 Super Hornet is old (stock) as I heavily modified it this winter.

DD plane #1 : Parkzone Corsair F4-U, WWII Pacific combat plane. 480 Park Brushless (E-Flite upgrade) with Master Air Screw 11" 3 blade prop. Fly's on 3S 2200MAH Lipo 30C. Upgraded servos and made a custom motor mount with a bandsaw, dremmel and drill press out of birch plywood but need to remove more material for further cooling.
Top speed = 40mph (35mph stock)





DD plane #2 : Exceed F-18 Super Hornet 70mm EDF. Video is a bit old too, the plane was stock. I have heavily modified this airplane as it even has an aftermarket LED afterburner system the runs off the throttle channel so when I go balistic, the back end glows red. I have an experimental Change Sun 10 blade rotor pushing air through the plane off a brushless 2800KV Turnigy motor and 80 amp Turnigy ESC. I run 4S 2650 Turnigy Nanotech 50C Lipo batteries now at about 800 watts. She has better than a 1:1 thrust ratio so she will go straight up forever.
Custom heads up display for added pilots because I am that nerdy.

Top speed 90mph + (stock 65-70mph)

this project ive been working on. the process of converting this kyosho fazer touring car from nitro power to electric. i got this car in efforts to use it as a parts car for my uncles car which happens to be the same car but with newer rx and different wheels and body..

upon receiving it i could not get it to run right nor my tuner. turns out this car was about to fail the same way as my uncles car did. i suspect the con rod bearing failed , broke into pieces and skared up the cylinder. and luckily for us they discontinued this car as soon as my uncle got his so there was no way to get replacement parts for both our cars. so one day i decided wth and jus convert it. and Ive pretty much succeeded. i may up selling this car after i finish it. it will be a drift car


prior to converting to removing the nitro components.


the metal plate is removable to switch out should u happen to convert to a aftermarket engine. but i took it out to modify it to accept a electric motor..

Tommi, you are right, i missed your videos. Dude, you are the RC man. You hustle these things or something? This shit is expensive, you must have a fortune tied up in these.
