New guy from Texas

I'm the latest new guy here I guess. I had an original gold pan car back in the mid 90s that I bought out of a junk bin at a hobby shop. Then moved on to a B2. After that I got out of RC for about 20 years but now I'm back. I picked up a pretty decent B4.1 off of Craigslist to keep me occupied while I build other stuff. I'm planning on putting together a few cars and I'm here to learn all I can.

I listen and read way more than I talk. I've probably already read old threads on here for 20 hours last week alone. Still trying to pick up the nuances of various different variations of the RC10 over the years. I wish I could say I was building something for vintage racing or some other fun thing like that but where I am the racing scene is completely nonexistent.

Thanks for having me. I'll be that guy over in the corner listening and taking notes.

Thank you. I'm on the west side of the Dallas/Fort Worth area in a town called Weatherford

Thank you. Now I've got to figure out how to get enough seniority to access the B/S/T section to begin gathering parts, but not annoy people with inane posts about stuff I know nothing about. I've got a car coming in the mail to build my first project off of. It's got some neat parts on it already. I lowballed the guy on eBay so much that it kind of embarrassed me, but he accepted my offer quite surprisingly.
