I see your into R/C airplanes as well as cars. Have you ever gone flying when there's noone else there? It's not much fun. Just like running a car around in the street. But when you add the comraderie of the other guys and gals at the track, ( and{to me} the biggest difference in planes and cars) COMPETITION
, and the sharing of knowledge on getting the cars to run their best, Racing beats Bashing, ANYDAY.
But I understand time limits. We race at the 'Bowl every Sunday, and they race at Fernando's ("Toys for Boys" in Kennesaw) every Saturday. Racing is where its at !!
Evwery reccomendation I can think of is for a racecar, so I'll refrain. But I do invite you up to the track (the Sugarbowl), to see what real racecars can do, in a pack, at top speed.
