Welcome on Board Kidtonz!!!

Copperhead03

Hello everyone.
I am 100% new to RC cars. Have a couple kids and am looking to find some great hobby stuff to do with them. We bought a couple of short course trucks and have been having a ton of fun with them. One is a Traxxas Slash 2wd and the other is a ECX Torment 2wd. This one I bought off Ebay and has a couple mods. Already broke something on it and need to figure it out.

Went to SDRC yesterday with some friends and got to enjoy racing a TLR 22 3.0 which I bought from my buddy as he has several 4.0’s. Got my rear handed to me in the beginner class, but at least I was the tallest!

Anyway I am getting deep into this with HIGH hopes that my kids all find this to be as much fun as me.

I will be looking to learn as much as possible so I can teach them maintenance and driving and control of the car. Lord knows I have none right now. Any advise direction is much appreciated.

Have a great day!

Hi

My name's Chris - I grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee, South Milwaukee to be frank, I am old, 43.

So I grew up on Tamiya in the late 80s early 90s.

My first RC car was a Kyosho Ultima which I hated and sold in near new condition and got a Hornet which was technically worse, but more fun to work on, build, tweak, and the aftermarket was pretty nice for bodies and what not.

I then bought a used Associated 12i, and later a Blackfoot.



I was out of the game until about 2003, bought a Tamiya GOLF V5 kit. I now own that, and I just bought the BRAT in Jacksonville FL last weekend for my birthday. I felt 13 again. Walking up and removing that box from the wall was amazing.

I now live in Raleigh NC and spend weekends traveling the SE and hangning out in Charleston, Wilmington, JAX, and photographing surfing.

Other HEAVY interests:
European cars, MOTOGP, 80/90s BMX builds, Kathy Ireland's Instagram.

PEACE!

I’m Kinze and back after 5+ years. My daughter and son were born and the small parts just couldn’t be left out anymore. Things change quick in Rc but having fun

Hi all

I'm not new to the hobby, having three nitro cars; a Losi 8ight-T 2.0 Truggy, an HPI Savage Basher MT and an HPI RS4 Evo 3 road car. I raced the Truggy and the RS4 and had enormous fun with them. I never set the world alight with skill but I did improve week on week, and that's all that matters to me really.

These cars are all back in the UK (Adur, Sussex was the track I raced at) and i've now moved to California for work.

I'm moving over to Brushless TC racing and i'm trying to sort my first electric car, radio, transponder and so on, so I can get back into racing again. I need to scratch that itch!

Anyway, glad to be here and hope to not be a pain in the butt and actually a constructive member of the forum.

Hello rctech members,

I have gotten back into the hobby last year after a hiatus building my malibu. Now that that's done I dusted off a couple of tamiya's M03 and TA02 and got a trx4 and a slash to bash around.

I must say that this site has been a great resource during trouble shooting and just what is going on in the hobby in general.

Thank you,

Hey everyone! Mike here from Massachusetts, been out of the hobby for about 10 years and finally thinking about getting into racing instead of the old bashing.

I will be posting into the a couple subs regarding this and look forward to hearing from people!

Got my first rc grade car, the Traxxas rustler xl-5 , lots of fun and my backyard is perfect for it,
even with all the sticks and leaves on the ground it goes pretty fast.

Sticks have tried to get (and have been) jammed in the wheels a few times .
Nothing has broke so far.

First hobby stuff I got in the past was wasted, mostly because I was terrible at storing stuff.
(almost all of them got destroyed lol, and of course I didn't even try to fix them, but on the plus side I have left over dynam a-10 electronic parts)

Hey guys, I'm new here. I have some questions on modding a toy grade 6x6 truck, where would I post them?

Do some searches on the forum and see if there are any existing discussions of what you have..

There isn't one for it, I haved searched many times. Closest one I have found is the SZJJX 4x4, but it's not really helpful for me
