My name is Kurtis
I live in Pensacola FL
I am 27, Married with 2 daughters.
I have been racing RC cars off and on since I was 13 years old. I started racing a RC10LSS in 1993 at our local Banked oval at that time, and a few months later bought a Traxxas SRT to race at the local dirt track at the time. I raced steady for the next 3 - 4 years upgrading the cars I had, and buying some others here and there. I sold the SRT, but held on to the 10LSS, which by the way I still have, but in 2002 I purchased a T-Maxx, and then shortly a HPI RS4, then Micro RS4, and so on. I now have a stable of RC cars at the number of around 30 spanning from On-road to Offroad, and from Helicopters and planes to boats. I enjoy working on them and upgrading them as much as I do actually driving and racing them. I have a few custom projects that I work on from time to time, but I tend to get busy and have to put them down for a while. I will be glad to help anyone with anything I can.

I live in the traffic capital of the world Atlanta, Ga. I live 7 miles from my job but it takes me 50 minutes to get there and back
I am 27 years old
I work fulltime and enjoy messing around with my t-maxx whenever I can. No serious racing just driving with friends and family. Kinda new to nitro but getting the hang of it. Looking to buy a t-maxx 3.3 sometime in the future. I am partial to Traxxas vehicles so no one try and sell me a non-traxxas vehicle when i do decide to buy. Oh well I tend to ask a lot of questions because inquiring minds want to know

My name is Bill, and I live in Corona Ca.
I am 60 years young, and still going strong <most of the time anyway>
I was in construction for close to 43 years, and retired 6 years ago, spending most of my time now with on road rc.
Tried off-road, and it just did not interest me at all.
Right now I race 3 1/8 scale on roads, and 3 10th scale on road.
I run two Kyosho RRR, and one Mugen MTX4R <10th scale>
For 1/8 scale I run one Evolva, one PRP XR8, and just purchased the new Mugen MRX4X <just opened the box yesterday>
Was in to the street rod scene for many years, and owned 117 cars<over time, not all at once> and traveled the US going to car shows and seeing the country. We all get together and race every weekend at a couple of different tracks. I have met a lot of good people in this hobby and really enjoy competition.

Hey,
Name: Jamey
Age: 33
I've been interested in RCs a couple of weeks now :D
2 saturdays ago I was bored so I went to my lhs & walked out with a new e-maxx, 4 battery packs & a dual charger.
I ran it a few times then I broke my broke the rear bumper. Equipped with my new RPM bumbers I was bashin yesterday and broke 1 of the front a-arms & the front bulkhead. I ordererd RPM a-arms all around and Integy (http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=3045) SuperDutyII front & rear bulkheads.
I have replaced all of the stock screws on my E-MAXX with stainless steel screws to prevent rust. I also have 2 Kershaw Designs Revolver 650 x-long motors I will be installing next weekend. I will let you guys know how they perform.
My bumpers, a-arms & bulkeads are all blue so following the theme this morning I ordered some blue dual rate shock springs & Venom Atomik F350 body - gray with blue flames. When every thing is installed & rtr I will post some pictures.

Hey folks I am 36 years old. I am sure many of you have seen me on RCU forums and in the fs/ft area. I have been in the hobby since the original Grasshopper and RC10 was made. I have tons of RC's in my garage. I like Nitro and Electric. Soon I will be jumping into the 5th scale for the first time with a new Baja 5B SS as soon as spring comes. I am here because this site works like RCU use to. I like the fact that you can put non-rc stuff up and trade for RC stuff. I miss that on RCU. I think it's a great idea.

Hello everyone. Any RC hobby is just kick in the pants fun, isn't it !
I'm married to a wonderful wife that let's me enjoy life with my TOY'S.
I just placed my order in for a WCM 1/4 scale sprint car. Haven't decided on what hp engine I want but, I'm sure it will be overkill. Can't wait to get racin it.
We also race 360 winged sprint cars in the midwest.
I built a replica to a 1966 Ford 427 Shelby Cobra. I was able to do all the work but the machining of the engine. I'm a auto body man by trade and a pretty good mechanic. (thanks dad) I custom mixed the paint and added pearl to the white stripes. Best 1/4 mile- 10.38 sec. at 134 mph. Top speed- Kansas Motor Speedway- 164mph. Here's a link for more info & pics.
http://www.myspace.com/427shelbycobra
I look forward to conversing with all of you and checking out you RC's.
Thanks,

Hi My name is James Kroener. I live in Oregon. I wish there were more people around here with nitro trucks. The closest thing is the guy next door has a traxxas sprint. I would like to find a club or somebody to bash or race with it ****s driving by yourself all the time.

I have 4 (3 Kyosho and 1 Serpent) Nitro On-Road, 1 (RC10 GT) Nitro Offroad, and 2 EP (HPI E-10, and a Tamiya TT-01) On Road I found the site looking for maybe a place to trade my nitro cars for Electric, parts, accessories, whatever.

Hi! I'm called Rich by some, other names by others. I'll start off by saying my youngest son is probably older than 75% of the poters on this board. I'm 57 and been into r/c for as long as I can remember. I've got a Revo, Heli-max. and some infernal gizmo that travel on land,air and water. I currently don't have any planes but am working on an air boat project. Just remember "You can tell the age of the boys by the price of their toys".

My name is Bob. I am 57 yrs old. My wife is alittle younger. I'm married to a wonderful lady name Lynn. We live in Akron, Ohio. I have three step-children, but I consider the two oldest as my owned. We have three dogs. We're both disabiled. I love racing. I did race cj 5 jeeps. Have to go to rc. Less chance of hurting body part on me. I was in to off road buggy racing. The track closed down, cause lack of interest. Like a dumpy I sold all I had. Now I found a track closer, but no equipment. Have to start out all over again. Interested in 1/10 electric trucks. If anyone has some advice, please give it. Want to get back to racing. I am happy to be here.
