I’ve always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you’ll find some likeminded individuals!

    How fast would you say a hobbyist RC goes? I’ve only ever seen the $20 walmart RC cars and am curious about any differences, as I imagine there are.

      Depends on the class. Most of the 1/10 that I race are between 20-30mph.

      I’ve run some classes that hit 60-65mph. My club doesn’t have any classes hitting those speeds but a local outdoor club does.

      My 1/28 can hit 20mph depending amount of upgrades. The one I race hits maybe 15mph, but to scale that’s faster than the 1/10 I race. Some of the very highly modified 1/28 cars can supposedly hit 60+mph, but no one locally races those particular cars and I’ve never seen it.
