Hello from Northern California (Bay Area)
Hello everyone, my name is Jeremiah.
I recently got back into the R/C hobby. I started off with Tyco/Nikko/Radio Shack vehicles and then stepped up to hobby grade in the 1990s.
My first one being a Team Associated RC10B3 Team, then a Mugen MTX-2. Regrettably I sold both of them.
My current vehicles are a RC10 classic (shelf queen, no electronics) and a Team Associated Trophy Rat.

Hi Jeremiah and welcome aboard.
I was awol from RC during most of the '90's (and 2000's and into the early '10's) but i'm trying to catch up and I've recently added a B2 and B3 to the collection. Love the B3; even box-stock, it handles extremely well.
Anyway, feel free to start a thread in the appropriate forum and post-up what you've got.

Hello from an ex Bay Area Californian.
I used to work at the San Carlos Hobbytown and Newark Hobbytown. Also used to race all over the bay area.
What part of the bay ?

I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

XLR8 - Thanks! The B3 is a great performer. I loved mine. And welcome back to the hobby.
Basher67 - Howdy, thanks!
RC10th - Hello, the east bay. (Fremont)
I remember hobbytown in the Fremont/Newark area. It closed down.
I go to Sheldon's Hobbies, I try to support the local hobby shop.

Ahhh, that's a shame they closed down.
I used to love the old Sheldons hobbies before they closed down, I've never been to the new one.

The old location was great.
Though I can say their new location is not to far off from the old and its well stocked. And the customer service is decent.
