Ok so im not nitro but who cares.

Im 18, Been racing since i was 12. I have not had that many cars because i like to get the most out of them. You can always get faster with a different setup, not car

So first car.....

Tamiya TL01 - I cant belive how much i spent i blue aluminum parts for a TL-01.

Schumacher Axis 2 - Good car apart from the diffs.

Yokomo MR4TC Custom - Still is a great car.

Yokomo SD - Never quite got to grips with it torque steering, but it was helish fast and had loaddds of rip.

Yokomo BD - Excellent Car. Best ive owned by far.

Im 14 and I have been racing for two years only on-road. Our local on-road track is closing so I might have to give up this hobby. I dont want to but I dont seem to like off-road too much. I have done alot of begging and I got an asphalt company to say they will lay some asphalt for free and we can pay there cost on materials so I will try to have a fundraiser or something. I am hoping thered5 has something up his sleeves.
