We generally go away as a group at New Year to a house up north, and as well as drinking and eating and all that good stuff, we usually have a project R/C build to keep us amused. Last year we knocked out a massive off road buggy and this year we're looking for something a bit different.

I was thinking along the lines of a Kyosho Blizzard (it usually snows) but any other slightly different ideas would be welcome.

Radio Control, a great kit, and definitly different.
I bought the Tiger I a few years back:-

Much more comedy than the tamiya R/C evo 6 I got a couple of years before that; the sound unit adds enormous wow factor - When finished I drove mine up and down the garden, next to the rabbit in its run. Rabbit looked curiously at it, then studiously ignored it. I wasn't having that, so ran the Tiger up behind where it was sat against the chicken wire, swung the turret round and let fly with the main armament. Rabbit proceeded bo do two record breaking laps of the run, before cowering in the run for 30 minutes, which was coincidently the same amount of time it took me to stop laughing.
A huge hoot, you won't regret it.

edited to add- perfect for the snow, too!
