Fox after micro T

Other nite around 11:45 p.m. I was running the T. Up and down the street and so forth. Had weird feeling something was watching me and I looked up and about 15 feet away stood a fox. Thought it was a dog at first because it was so close. I drove up to the fox taunting him with the micro T. Then I thought about all the time and money I had in the truck and my low tx batteries and I drove back and the fox watched and was not scarred. The T did not scare the animal. It attracted the fox because it looked like a small animal running over ground. I put the micro T down and drove at the fox. It jumped straight in the air and did a spin. It could not figire out the deal. Meal or play. I think it was meal and I did not want it running away with my micro T. Thats my wild life encounter. Anyone elese have any.

I had an owl with a 5 foot wingspan have a go at one of my 10th scale sedans a few years back. I was driving about 1 in the morning on a dark road, the car was nice and quiet with a brushless motor. It touched the car with its talons and realized something was wrong. It then flew onto the power lines and continued to watch the car go up and down the street. It totally came out of nowhere and made no noise at all.

I usually keep that in mind when I am driving my Micro-T's at night. Its often dark and I have driven them 200 feet away before(they have a 2.4Ghz radio)
If an owl grabbed it I don't think I'd see it again unless it got freaked and dropped it. I know I'd be working the throttle and steering as much as possible to make noise.

Lightbulb cats chase mini

Last nite had a cat stalk the mini lst2 on the road near my house. Followed it for awhile. I turned around on the cat and headed back its way and I became the purser. I fly electric helis and wild life is bothered very little by these engines. Thinkng of camera on vehicle would make for great close up wild life pictures. Any electric folks have any good vids of animals with there models. Some of the minis attract animals and interesting vidieos could come about.
