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.
Thought I'd let you know a little more about me, and my very short 8 years in this hobby. Well - I did miss out on the last 3 or so years though for different reasons, so maybe we should cut that down to 5 years...

Thanks for the welcome mate.
Hope I can learn things about my vintage AYK and spares I have . I also have some old motors that I know little about, so info on them would be good too.
I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I found this board looking up info for a Kyosho Outrage that I had just won on ebay for $15. And I have to say I cannot believe it took me this long to find this place!
I have been a RC enthusiast since the 80's. I am in the process of rebuilding a buggy and loving every minute of it :) I will put together some photos as I work through the process after I find some info about my RC build.
Cheers!

Another long time lurker, finally joined so that I can participate. The wealth of knowledge in this site is amazing. About me, I kind of did the whole RC thing backwards - I played with real cars when I was younger, and now that I'm older, I really...

Hello, all,

Hi there everybody, just a quick hello and intro from South Devon. Been into RC since I was 11 yrs old, but like many of you I guess, had a bit of a period of inactivity due to various other distractions, and got back into the hobby again about 10...

Hi, yup I've seen some RC10's on ebay from US sellers, and the price of the buggy is usually quite reasonable. The problem comes from 50-70 gbp delivery cost plus import fees & vat... But, guess that's just the cost of entry these days - should have...
It’s been awhile since I was in the hobby. I recently wanted to get a new radio for my old RC10T so that my son could see it in action. That’s what started it all off again.
It all started when I saw some one with a RC10. I think I was 14 at the...

Building your car on the table in the camp trailer!!! What a memory that must be! Awesome!
Got my first basket case used Jrx2 when I was a kid and could never afford to make it run right. I was able to get it back with my friends rc10t and jrx pro SE and now I am making them runners.

Thanks for adding me. I dug out my original RC10 (~1986) that I raced back in the day. I restored it over the summer and plan to race it at this year's Vintage Off-Road Nationals at R/C Excitement.

Man! Having your parents hold on to your toys for a few decades only to have your kids throw them out.
