Not my first post (didn't even look into this section until now) but I thought I would introduce myself. Been into R/C since I was just a little kid. I probably got my first R/C car when I was 10 or 11 (I'm 34 now). A Nikko Turbo Panther that ran for about 5 minutes and took 16 hours to charge! My first hobby grade kit was a Kyosho Double Dare that I still have. Fell in love with the look and fact that it had 2 motors, 4WD, and 4WS. Been hooked on the hobby ever since.

I still have every car I ever owned but until a few years ago they were boxed up and stored away. Recently got bit by the bug again and have started restoring them. Right now I am in the process of restoring a Junior 2 and Raider Pro. I also have a LXT and RC10T4 that I bash around the backyard with. Hoping to someday restore my Double Dare back to it's original glory.

Really like the site here and the community!

Welcome Mike! Glad you got back in gear again! Post up you restore threads when you get to each one. Curious to see the Double Dare all fixed up. :wink:

I've got a Junior 2 thread here and a Raider thread here.

If I buy another vehicle before selling one of these off I think my wife will go nuts!
