RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

My name is Doug, I am 33 years old and live in Minnesota. I have been married for 2 years and we have two australian shepards. I recently quite my job as an airline pilot to pursue a different career. My first r/c car was a super champ when I was 12. I started racing an RC10 around 1989. I got back into collecting vintage R/C about 8 years ago. I basically collect the cars I liked as a kid. I am getting into r/c crawling and I might get back into racing. In the summer we spend most of our time on a lake water skiing and sailing.

Well, today is my one year anniversary here at 10Talk so I guess it is time to introduce myself a little better.
My name is Kevin. I am 34 and married to a wonderful girl from Chicago and have 2 kids.
I have been into RC since I was a little guy (that was a long time ago) and love it.
I am a computer engineer and work for a local community college as an IT technician.
I will have to post an up to date photo later tonight.

Since I plan to stick around here for a good long while...

Keepin' it simple..

Age: 21

Status: Single

Real Cars: Long list, so I'll shorten it up a bit. Two '69 Road Runners (both 440 cars, one 4-speed and one automatic), five Trans Ams (All are 400-462ci, two 4-speeds and the rest are automatics)

Daily Drivers: '97 Lumina LTZ 3100, '98 Lumina LTZ 3800, '97 Ram 1500 SLT 5.2L 4x4.

Hobbies: You guessed it, RC cars and restoring/modifying/racing 1:1 scale muscle cars. I also do automotive photography, as well as website and graphic design.

Photography: Canon Digital Rebel XT and some lenses.

Got into RC: When I got my first RC10T (that I still own) back in '91.

Occupation: Aircraft Technician

Previous Job: Web designer for a company in NY,NY.

Favorite RC Memory: Restoring my Tamiya Mountaineer, running it for a short while then selling it to fund my real car addiction. I regret it, but if I still had it I wouldn't have one of the Trans Am's that I own this day. I received the Mountaineer in a trade for a Tamiya Clodbuster Clodzilla. To further the shot in the pills to the other guy, I only paid $50 for the Clodbuster, and I recieved the Clodzilla frame in trade for vintage Tamiya Super Champ plus some cash.

There you have it, probably the most important info to know about me

I live in Nashville TN with my wife and our 8 month old daughter, Ive been into rc's since I was about ten and just started collecting old stuff I couldn't afford when I was younger. I currently have a TRX1 I'm trying to get to a runner status. Well here's a pic of me goofing off when I was playing cards, I'm the one without the sunglasses on

My first post.
Chris Ishmael. I'm a former CH-47 cargo helicopter flight engineer/mechanic, who now does the same job as a civilian in Afghanistan for a butt load more money than I was making in the military.

I've got a RC10 that I bought in 1989 or so sitting in the attic, 4500 miles away, back in Dallas...

Spent about 2 hours surfing the web, looking for everything I need to get back in the hobby. Would it be sacrilegious to mention that I'm buying a brand new RC10B4 & having it shipped over here?

Me when I was still taking Uncle Sam's dime:
