RC gliders. They're so fast they're just a blur but you get the idea.

ive seen r/c jets with turbine engines doing a couple hundred miles an hour, the turbines are really expensive (in the event of a crash) id imagine these could be massively cheaper.
this could be a great tool for a hitman you wouldnt here it coming!

Someone crashed/lost one at the southern model air show a couple of years ago, was roumoured to have cost the owner about 5k new :(
And thats a radio controlled toy!

They found it in the end, luckily it just crashed into a tree about a mile away, didnt hit anybody.

my uncle had an r/c heli which set him back over 2k!
he saw someone flying one and said "that will be easy"
brought one after 4months he was still no higher than 6inches off the ground as its very difficult to hover, and again very expensive in a crash!
he eventually sold it on and got a traxxas truck!
(i guess it was one of those mid life things >_< )

a lot of modellers would disagree with you, but if you still
play with toys that's your choice. I noticed you
wrote rc models and not rc toys ?
