Hello from the depths of France

Post by Trass »

Hello everyones,

I'm Jerome aka Trass, Rc anthousiast since my 11 years old and now i'm 40. 8 years ago i'm falling again in the Rc world when my childs find some of my old models in the barn.

My first Rc was a Nikko Thunderbolt and my first really true RC car was a Tamiya Super Sabre, just after a club near my home make me a competitor on an Otpima Mid custom special from 1988 to 1990, on 1991 it was time to have the best car for me; the Kyosho Lazer ZX (i was an official driver from Euro Composite).

Image

In 1992 i stopped RC because of study and familly obligations.

Big break from 1992 to 2007/2008, that my childs find my Tamiya Group C, Tamiya MadCap, Lazer Zx ...

Now i prefer to look after my children to play with Rc (Traxxas Slash 2WD) and keep clean all the models i would have when i was young.

My big passion is about to remove anodization from my models, because of the different kind of color of them:

Example : 10r5

I also began a big RC Off-road Track project by side of my house started in the end of 2008:

Sorry for my rusty english, i hope to share with you about my RC hobbie

See-you soon

That track looks awesome, nice and simple and probably fun to run.

Is there a creek/small river on the property?

Salutations Jerome, grand post - très intéressant! J'ai récemment acheté une maison dans le sud de la France - à environ 10 km du Château de Carcassonne. Il ya une piste de RC et un club autour de 5 minutes à pied de ma maison, mais il semble ne pas avoir été utilisé pendant un certain temps. Il ya un grand podium, des signes et des surfaces variables. Je ne trouve aucune information sur un club Carcassonne RC en ligne. Avez-vous déjà entendu parler de cet endroit (un peu loin de Limoges ...)?

Greetings Jerome, great post - very interesting! I have recently purchased a house in the South of France - around 10km from the Castle of Carcassonne. There is an RC track and club around 5minutes walk from my house but it looks to not have been used for some time. There is a large podium, signs and varying surfaces. I cannot find any information about a Carcassonne RC club online. Have you ever heard of this place (a bit far from Limoges...)?

Cheers Martin.
