I was just getting started too. I raced electric, actually a losi JRX-2 with a Novak t-4 if you can remember that car, when I was 12 years old. My local track shut down so I stoped racing. Then I got into 1/8 scale at age 22 with the intention of racing, not bashing. A hyper 7 RTR was my first gas car. I had a O.S. rz v01-b in that hyper 7 within a month.
