im gonna be 16 on monday and a freind got me interested it was about 5 years ago. then i heard about the track and i was pretty nervous to go but me and revo2k went and i had a blast. i loved it. then when lhr reopened after x-mas i decided that i was going to start racing. i was also nervous about this but i went out there and did my best and i ended up dead last and i kept my pride and tried harder the next weekend. i just kept getting better and better everytime i went. i had alot of help from people here on the forums like tex and sh1nn3r. these are great guys and if you have any ?'s there pretty good about answering them.

I'm 18. I've been in and out of the RC hobby as a whole for a few years. I was a hardcore basher for a while and now love to race. I have really started racing since the new LH track opened...

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

I started when i was 13 and i saw some stuff at the hobbytown USA that was formerly at Oak mill mall. I went in there to buy paint for a model car i was working on and walked out with a super nitro RS4. I have since ended up with an Mp6 a k2 and a k3 and now a TTR S3 and I am a hardcore racer at 16

[NiTrO_aDdIcTiOn]

well lets see i started when I was 12 I think I started off with a kyosho sandmaster mk11 buggy i drove that into the ground, then i got an e-rustler and raced that for a while then a b3 then 2 xxx's then a rc10gt then a t maxx and a couple other cars but i forget what then i took about a 3 year brake to fly planes now im back stronger than ever. i got my maxx up and running, also i got a xxx-nt that im racing now. my grandpa got me into rc's but I got myself int cars, but my recent inspiration was cuz of freeride. its sad all that time and money on rc cars and racing, and i still know next to nothing about cars and i cant race for chit lol

[FreeRideFrosty]

Yeah... I needed a small 1/10 scale to run over. LoL

(PM me pics of that RC you were telling me about in metals today if you have some...)

[NiTrO_aDdIcTiOn]

and dont worry give me time im gettin faster and faster ill have no prob out running u pretty soon

I'm 28, been in and out of RC my whole life. I've been really serious about RC since 2002 and I'm a die hard racer now. I only bashed up until 2004.

This year I'm racing a revo. Next year I'll try something else.

[slim]

im 33, been racing 2 years in april. had a car or 2 for a few months before i went racin. think i came a long way in a year and a half or so. :-)

now i def eat sleep and breathe RC... it is a def sickness for me.

[kevinF]

I have been racing for a month now....and like slim I breathe eat and sleep nitro, only some guys think im weird so I never bring it up to talk about unless they do.

but I figure screw the guys who think im weird because I enjoy this and at least im not doing drugs or getting put into jail......you know.

[Mr. Tune]

I'm 27. I got into rc in the spring of '04. Opened this site in june of '04. Started racing in november '04 and been racing since!

I was a racing fan before I even got into rc. When I found out people race these things competatively instead of driving them around the house, it was all over for me. I've since dropped more cash than I every thought possible on a remote control toy truck, lol.

[Sh1nn3r]

I'm 23 I have had rc's all my life, i always remeber asking on my birthday and christmas i want an r/c car im talking when i was 6 or 7 years old. I raced about 4-5 times last year with my revo, and I just got back into racing, soo i think i will stick with it this time.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Common thread here....RC is a disease cured with cash.

[GWPHOENIX]

[Jeepguy]

18, I got my first Nitro about 5 years ago (duratrax Max ST piece of crap) Then I got out of it for a while then started building the tamiya's then re-built the Max ST which is the monster I have now.

I'm 33 this May. I just got started in this hobby last August, I'm what you would call a "dye in the wool" newbie. But damn its fun. I have always been into racing. My father and I would make pilgrimages to Road America and the Dragstrips every year when I was a kid. Since I cant afford and am to old to start racing (except for carting, which I dont have the money for anyway) this was the next logical step.
I like mechanical things, I love RC airplanes ,my Grandfather and I built balsa wood flyers when I was a kid and flew them on our family land in Michigan City, Ind., but I'll get into RC airplanes when I retire along with opening a hobbyshop. I really got into this so my son(who is 12) and I could have something to do together that was fun. His interest has wained somewhat but I'm hooked. Plus it's one of those things you always wanted to do as a kid but didn't have the cash for and now I have the cash, sort of...

[Racin' Ranger1]
