I was first attracted to the RC hobby by the speed of the cars, then I got to know how complicated they are compared to TOY RC cars, so I decided to get into it and got myself a car and then before I knew it I was hooked into this.
The racing and challenge is what thrills me the most from being in this hobby.

The feel of victory after making a clean pass to win the A main. That is the coolest part of RC. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

I love building the thing. It's a nice feeling to turn a mass of screws and plastic into a car. All of your hard work really pays off the first time you hit the throttle and it actually runs! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/wink.gif
It's also cool to put together a car that smokes your friends cars. That's ALWAYS cool.

what makes it cool, the fact that your driving a car wayyyyyyy over thier from right here, the fact that you can drive a 5 ound hunk-o-aluminum going 40mph, or maby the fact that when you jump a 1/10 truck 10 feet and think aboiut it, you would be jumping a real truck 100 feet....

Building and wrenching on them, racing them, the looks, and how they work. Also, the speed, Hop-ups and options. And unlimited possibilities.

What makes it so cool are vehicles like the T-Maxx and E-Maxx. Big trucks! Big wheels! More power! ((insert grunt here))

A friend got me into it. I kinda wish he didn't, though. This is an expensive hobby http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

It has to be the definite versatility of all the types of cars out there, from the HIGHLY fast pan cars to the ULTIMATE BAHEMOTHS of 1/4th. One other thing that really got me was all the different styles of tracks and conditions, you have to actually tune the car to hook up right at the track. Kinda like real life racing. This is definately "very expensive but worth every dollar kinda hobby. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/cool.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

what got me into (again.. I toyed with a RC10T my brother made) was the cool pics in rccaraction... not trying to brownnose here.. but their mag is top notch.. I was looking thru my standard car mags at the books store and accidently pick up rccaraction and wow.. (at first i thought it was a real car mag.. ha).. I saw the bodies and was like whoa.. and then saw how trick they've become.. boought a T-Maxx, got another RC10B.. and then a tamiya ta04.. its fun.. I get to drive and race cars I can't afford in real life.. thats the nice part
