Give Your Car A Power Boost – Dynamite TurboKick
I love how Hollywood greatly exaggerates the effect of nitrous oxide in cars. A push of the button, and the car shoots off like a rocket. While it is not completely realistic, wouldn’t it be sweet if we could do that with our RCs?

I sat down with my twin five-year-old boys and had a blast building with them and teaching them what an RC kit is all about.

Who has only one radio controlled vehicle? Seriously, the vast majority of the people that I know own two or more cars, trucks or boats. In addition, many vehicles run on multiple battery packs.
