I have a skyline mini-z. I haven't run it for a long, time though I need to get some new rechargables.

I was out kayaking around Coulon Beach this weekend and there was a group of guys racing R/C hydroplanes around. They were gas powered, about two feet long, and damn they were fast. I actually had to retrieve one for them when it broke down far from the dock. Very cool things.

Yes!
RC10GT w/OS .15CV & lots of other goodies, Kyosho GP-10 spider MGB w/ a ton of hop-ups, Tamiya Clod Buster on a Clodzilla III frame, RC10LSO oval car (converted to nitro power w/an OS .10FP), HPI Micro RS4 Porsche 911. I'm thinking about building a Dumas air-boat next.

I even have an OS Engines sticker on the back window of my Protege!

Off-road: Associated RC10GT or Traxxas Nitro Stampede (or a T-Maxx if you have the money, around $450 out the door). Traxxas are all electric start, which means you need a battery & charger for the starter.

On-road: HPI Nitro RS4 (any flavor) or Duratrax Street Force. The Street Force body is UGLY, but you can get about a million different bodies to fit it...No Proteges yet, but I keep hoping.

Good luck!
