Okay folks, this is the big one. I have broken down and am selling all my R/C cars and accessories in a single go. I hate to do this, and I wouldn't if I were staying put, but I just do not have room for all this stuff to take it across the country again!
When it came out, the JRx2 was the very top of the line in terms of 2WD off road electric radio control excitement. There was nothing better, and it immediately started taking away the checkered flag from the RC 10. What was even better, the JRx2 did not need a ton of fancy "hop-up" parts to make it competition-worthy. It was a complete competition-worthy set, right out of the box.
Later, I got myself a TL-101 four wheel drive on road car for some parking lot fun. I bought some upgrades for it, but never got around to installing them. I'll miss these guys. They are a ton of fun, but the sad truth is I never get around to taking them out for a spin. It's sad, really, and I hope they find a home where someone will drive them until their gears wear out!

Return of the Green Machine
That's right, it's the Green Machine!! A blast from the past that John and I were actually just talking about a month ago in Gainesville (sadly Margaret never had one and didn't know what we were talking about). The Green machine was a great toy. It was like a Big Wheel, but, well, it was green, with an adjustable seat, and a handbrake that allowed for super-spinouts. The wheels were plastic, of course, and I remember wearing holes in both the one with the brake and the larger wheel.
It looks like this updated model has two brakes, which looks to be a ton of fun. They should really make a version for adults. Kind of like a tricked-out version of a recumbent bike.
