Not that we have tons of new members each day, but we thought we would restructure this forum a little bit and use this spot for new members to introduce themselves.
Well, I am a old guy that just keeps messing around with RC stuff.
Found my old RC-10 and RC-10T, both pretty old.
In fact, the RC-10 is so old it still had the mechanical wiper speed control on it.
Controllers were lost in...

My eyes combed every page of R/C Car Action Magazine. Devouring each word with voracious enthusiasm. I stood ambitiously in front of the glass counter of our local hobby shop gazing up at all the new racing machines, knowing with absolute certainty,...

Given the retro gaming market you could likely trade that PS2 for a Losi again.
Sounds like you have a lot of projects to work though. It'll be great to see how they progress.

Nice collection, I got carried away doing the same thing and still catch myself doing. Even cars I didn’t want growing up, I find myself wanting just because I remember how cool it looked in a magazine ad.

Welcome to the forum , social media is fun but no substitute for a forum where things are more permanent and can be used as a resource of knowledge.
New here, I just bought two vintage Kyosho cars, one NOS Rowdy Baja and Fantom 20 Exp P3, looking all information I can, great place for learning, thanks for the add.

Cool story Sean, thanks for sharing. I too enjoy reading/hearing how folks got into the hobby. As mentioned, earlier RC10's will likely be easier to source and build in lieu of the B2/3. Also, reproduced 3D printed RC10 parts are more common.

Nice job. Its very cool that you have your original car from childhood.
New to the forum, stumbled across it when I was looking for parts for my old RC car, I have a Losi XX, its been sat around for a while but with my daughter showing an interest I thought I would dust it off and we could both use it.
