My Girlfriend had a wreck and was in the hospital for a few days and i bought a R/C mag. And got hooked. :mrgreen:

I have been into cars my whole life and since I wasn't old enough the own or drive a car, my parents bought me a R/C. I have spent approx $6000 all up over the past 4 years :?

a need to take things apart... i just wanted something i could fiddle with an watch the results... in the last 3 years ive spent over £5000 on the hobby, and have had 7 rc's in that time. also a mate had a tamiya truck an driving that up an down his garden was a great laugh :)

ive had a kyosho pureten ep to start, then a nitro MT then a losi xxx-t and xxx-bk2 then the savage, a hyper came and went, then another savage.. im now looking at a leccy road car, nitro road cars are too easy to break lol and my local tarmac track isnt big enough really.. so leccy it will be, may go brushless with it :p

I started in 1984 with a Tamiya Grass hopper and sold it to buy a Hot Shot. I would bring them to the track when I raced MX and BMX and just played with them. Once I quit MX because of injuries I some how got hooked on RC's to race instead.
I don't get hurt any more.. 8)

That is how these are, i tell people what i like to do on the weekends is race rc cars and they look at me funny im 23 and play with rc cars. But when they see it they quickly change there look and ask lots of questions.... And At my local tracks it is 80% older guys 25+

Most tracks are like that. Not many younger people like me are in the hobby
