Hi, I was BIG into R/C when I was 16/17, And was lucky dispite been quite young, I had quite a decent amount of disposable income. Anyway, I spent a fair amount on R/C's.
However, I turned 17, Passed my "real" car driving test and sold up to invest my money into custom car modifying, And in particular, Car audio.
I'm nearly 22 now, And have moved on from this, Sold my main show car, And bought a regular standard car. This had a competition car audio system in too, But I've put that back to standard, And had a large sum sitting in my paypal account!
Anyway, I heard that a new R/C track had opened nearby, And now I could get there myself, and a modelshop had opened locally, Rather than relying on my dad to take me, I could just get up and go down there.
I googled the place, Found it on my satnav and went down to a practise event "just to browse". What a mistake.
I've just got in, Ordered a Hyper 7 Buggy, A Spektrum 2.4 GHZ Radio, 2 Metal Gear Servos, Fuel, A Fuel Bottle, Glow starter, RX Pack and charger, Tool set and a nide box too keep it together ;)
Its only the RTR with a pull start, I'm intending on turning this hyper 7 into the pro model And Running RB Power + Starter Box ;)
I've also got 43 mins left till I win a Savage 4.6 on ebay, And just placed a bid on a Revo! OMG im addicted again ;)
Not really had much practise with nitro, I was an electric boy, So expect a few, "why doesnt this start" threads soon ;)
I feel 15 again :D
