Any ISX50 owners into RC Cars?
I used to be into RC (remote control) car racing; quit the hobby along with many other hobbies after my daughter was born. No regrets of course.
This was my last RC project, my 64 Mini Cooper w/custom roll cage, wheels, coilover suspension, etc...I actually replicated my RC car with my "real" Mini Cooper track car.
If you are into RC Cars, post some pics.

Man I use to love to play with my RCs, still have a few. Took up too much time, stopped at the wrong time. They opened up a RC store on Union City BLVD that has a track out back. Nice job on the mini

Thanks fellez!! I'll try to post side and front pics later this week. It's drop to the ground...with super aggressive wheel setup. And good news, it doesn't rub. LOL
I just posted because my euro car buddies and I used to race electric/nitro cars at Shoreline Amphitheatre (in Mtn. View)...for those who live in Nor Cal, its just 3 blocks from Google HQ. It was a blast...so I thought I can invite some ISX50 rc owners to join us one of these days.

I built an RC racer a few years back, it was fun as heck but it became an expensive hobby that I never did much with so I gave it up. I've been thinking about building another one but dont really have the time.

I'm slowly getting back from retiring the RC scene years ago. I used to own half a dozen on road cars both Electric and Nitro. Every weekend I would shoot up to SocalRC raceway to race in the Mod class. Those were fun days up until they closed down. I eventually sold off all my gear. I recently found out a local hobby shop near where I live (san diego) opens up the parking lot on the weekend for racing.
I plan on getting back into this hobby soon. Sure was fun. I used to own the HPI Nitro, HPI Racer, Racer 2, Nitro TC3, Electric TC3, Tamiyah FWD FFAO2, Traxxas Stampead, HPI Micro, Duratrax Mini, Xray M10.

I don't have the time either, but seeing them collecting dust is killing me so my friends and I are trying to get back in RC racing as well.
Nitros are hell of fun to run...and smelling the gas is even better. LOL

Saw pics of your ride in front of Brembo booth...looking good as always! Let me know if you decide to sell your wheels. hahaha
