I've seen some serious injuries come from out of control monster trucks and 1/8 scale buggies. Imagine a buggy weighing a little over 7 lbs. moving at 42 mph and loses signal with the transmitter. Further more your eye hand coordination has to be better to race these buggies because you do not have an open sky, you are on a controlled track racing with others with spectators pit members and turn marshalls everywhere. The point is, practice. You can not win without practice. Al obviously does not do anything with rc cars.

It's very realistic (in an RC sense) and really great for learning the basics of RC flight without going out and wrecking that plane you just spent $300 and 40 hours building. Though it doesn't seem quite as likely that you would completely wreck a car first time out, I can only assume that the principle is the same. Also, I'm sure that track time on a really nice track is a) scarce or b) costly or c) aota, so this would be good for practicing when you can't for real. Love your site.
