Hi folks interested in RC onroad
Hi people!
I currently live in Western IA and am interested in the RC car hobby. I owned a Tamiya Frog as a teenager and am interested in getting back in the hobby!
I am sure many things have changed (speeds, controllers and even nitro powered cars).
I am coming from N scale model trains and can work with small parts. I was in the HobbyTown in Omaha and I was very impressed with indoor track!!!
Any help in getting back into the hobby would be appreciated (websites, books, stores).
Thanks to all that respond.
Jeff

Look me up at the Track
Hi Jeff -
I race at the Hobby Plex regularly. Look me up Weds night - I should be there. My name is Todd Beardmore.
I'm kinda like you... I used to race back in the late 80's - early 90's and got out of it for about 11 years or so and just got back in about 2 years ago.
Alot has changed primarily in technology and stuff like that but the basics are still the same. ie: "don't hit anything" and you won't break... and you go faster.
Probably the cheapest way to get back into it would be to buy a 12th scale for Carpet Racing. The chassis technology is still basically the same - just now there's better batteries & motors.
I have a really nice Yokomo YRX12 "Worlds Edition" 12th scale for sale too if you're interested. Check it out here:

See ya Wednesday?
