Hello from Northern California (Bay Area)

Post by jeremiahrc10 »

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. :D
I was awol from RC during most of the '90's (and 2000's and into the early '10's) :oops: 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. :D

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.
