Thanks, I like both Mario AND popcorn, SCORE! Hub Doc, yeah i'm proud of it. And about your question... prepare for a rant, MWAHAHAHAHA~
Well, I'm sure you've seen those little Remote Control cars at Wal-Mart and other such places, but these are, well, different. Let's say you jump a wal-mart car off your stairs. It breaks, no? Well, something from, let's say, Traxxas, will laugh in your face and shout, "LET'S DO THAT AGIAN!" Not to mention if it DOES break, you can find replacement parts that can be either the same or even an upgrade from the standard parts! You can change everything from the screws to the motor/engine (yes, some of them are GAS/NITRO POWERED), the ESC (Electronic Speed Control), or even the tires and suspension system! Heck, you can change the REMOTE! This class of R/C, along with being more durable and able to be repaired, are usually MUCH bigger, and even an electric model can go anywhere from 35 to 70+ MPH OUT OF THE BOX, not to mention being water proof. There is even an electric model that has two motors, two batteries, and will go 100+ MPH. The downside? It's ALL expensive. Did I mention that that is just the cars? There are rock crawlers, airplanes, helicopters, models with actual JET ENGINES, tanks that shoot BB balls, boats, aircraft carriers, battleships that fire, jet boats, submarines, sailing ships, spy drones, fighter aircraft, and some of these are bigger than me? For reference, i'm 5'9.
Did I also mention that it's expensive? For reference, my Traxxas Slash (cool name included) is roughly 300$. Here is a few videos showing just how damned CRAZY these things can be:

By the way... these are expensive.
