#2 looks cool, open space and gravel too.
I crawled the shores of Folsom lake today, awesome rocks, lots of crawler tracks in the sand too! I wish I had a 1/5 baja to rip down the whooped out trails of sand and granite grit.
On that note, I think I am selling my Losi 1/18 crawler, stock, modified shock mounts with quick release high and low ride heights, and an extra battery. $160? is that a lot for a used RC? haha i dont know how to price em. I think I spent $270 out the door just a 6 months ago!
1/5 scale rally! These things would break your legs clean off!

haha ya rly. :39 on that video above...like someone chucking a weed eater engine at you, and a bowling ball that is also very hot, and could get long hair stuck in its axles as you roll it over your little brothers heads 
Also some of those RC jets that are 10 feet long, i honestly don't know how those are legal unless youre flying in a HUGE area. Those things could kill!

1/5 scale cars usually use a.23 CC and up weed whacker engine. mine came with a .26
uses regular unleaded gas but requires 2 stroke oil, which is no biggie.
as for the airplanes, some places where you fly them require you to be member of AMA (modelers assoc for flying) since they have insurance as part of being a member.

and some of the real jet engines are nothing but shrunk down real jet engines that uses the same jet fuel...
here's a big b-52 that chrashed:

lol yeah its kinda nuts when it blows by. Im running brushless 9600 motor and lipo with 35 tooth pinion gear. I also had to run soft foam tires and remove the spoiler from my toyota torino body.
Sadly I lost control while it was almost topped out and it slid into a curb destroying most of the front left corner.
