RC Planes, Camping, and More – What’s Your Off-Track Passion?
Hey everyone! When I’m not tinkering with my Redline Derby car, you’ll probably find me flying RC planes or out camping in the woods. There’s something about being outdoors or up in the air that just clears the mind.
Here’s what I’m curious about:
Hobbies: What’s your go-to off-track activity? RC planes, hiking, fishing, or something else?
Gear tips: Any must-have gadgets or tools for your hobby?
Stories: Share a funny or memorable moment from your adventures!
If you’ve got photos or videos of your off-track fun, post them – I’d love to see what everyone’s up to! Let’s swap some stories and maybe even some fails (because who hasn’t crashed a plane or gotten lost on a trail?). ??????????

I have too many hobbies and not enough time. I do photography and photoshop work (specialising in automotive work), 3d print, film making, model making, martial arts, painting/signwriting, writing music/lyrics, playing the drums, riding my motorbike, radio controal car/offroad racing and more still. A lot have fallen by the wayside over the years due to lack of time (or injury) but at least my HW passion lets me put some of those to use, which is one of the reasons I love it so much.
Here's a sample of my photography/photoshop work. I specialise in taking photos from car shows (or anywhere really) and turning them into something that you'd hang on your wall.
- As a PS guru, that is some fine work!! — G_ForceRacing
- Thanks G_Force. This isn’t even the most complicated one I’ve done. You can see more at Jademunky.com if you’re interested. My all time favourite was a composite of my grandad, dad, brother and myself on motorbikes as the photos were from the 30’s, 50’s and 2010’s but made to look like one image. I have a printout of it at 6ft long. — Chaos_Canyon

Hello everyone. I love to collect football and basketball cards. I got a huge Brady collection over 550 different Brady cards. No autograph yet smile. You considered casino a hobby a costly one lol.

Once upon a time it was traveling and photography, today I own a one speed beach cruiser. I'm the slowest guy at the beach.
- Key words, "At the beach." I'm about 20 minutes away from the beach myself. — Sunshine_City_Garage

It definitely involves either camping or Jeeping
Like my name implies

I'm in the same boat as Chaos Canyon. Too many hobbies, not enough time. Inshore saltwater fishing, gardening (mainly roses, orchids, and a stray bonsai or 2), disc golf, playing and modeling miniature wargames, and writing/creating miniature wargames.
- Access to salt water I'm very jealous of! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Yes I love being close to the Gulf, but I could do without the hurricanes. — Sunshine_City_Garage
- You should try NZ. You're never more than about 100km from the ocean, no matter where you are :) — Chaos_Canyon
Welcome to RedlineDerby!
Non Hotwheels passion - Doberman Rescue. It's fairly common for me to be on the road somewhere with a Doberman that I just picked up that was about to be euthanized. Transporting it to an upper Midwest rescue group that will find it a FOREVER home. Often sleeping in the cab of the pickup in a Walmart parking lot about 3 am with the dog next to me.
This little girl was in rough shape when I picked her up.
