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.
Or actually I'm just out side Austin in the old town in Texas, Bastrop.
A strange web I have woven to get here, I fell in love with RC back in 1977-78 with the Tamiya's but they were way to expensive for me back then, so it wasn't until I had my...

Hi,
I started in RC in the late 80's driving my younger brother to the local RC tracks. One day I came home with a RC10CE. That buggy later transformed into a monster truck thanks to the Proline conversion kit. Later, I began picking up some RC10T...

Thought I would drop in and announce, that I've finally made the transformation from a full fledge 'lurker' to a 'new' member! Up until a month ago, I haven't owned or operated a RC in over twenty years.....so I hope you will all take it easy on me....
I am in the process of restoring my first gold pan. In the past I have owned other RC10, GTs, GT2s, T2, etc, but I bashed all those so this will be my first restoration.
I've never done any RC stuff except for a Cox control line plane back in the 70's. I bought my 14 year old son a Trx stampede for Christmas and that quickly led me to getting hooked. I picked up an RC10T4.1 as part of a garage sale 5 bins...
Hi everyone!!

Are you not tempted to slim it down to the best example of each type?
The original goal was to have one solid example of each major release. That devolved slightly as very interesting deals came around. The good news is that I have several spares...
