Hello everyone. I have been involved in the hobby for over 25 years. I have taken the last 7 or so years off to race real cars, but due to health reasons, I'm back here.

I look forward to many more years or trading RC paint. :wave:

Hey all, my name is Cory and I am in Greenville, SC. Just getting back into RC oval racing after about 12 years out of the scene.

Used to race oval at World Hobbies(Berea), Brevard, NC, Canton, King, and a few others. I will be racing at Carolina RC in Easley, SC now and probably a few other bigger races.

I just bought a complete 4-car setup from a friend of mine that decided to go kart racing. Looking forward to getting back on the track and having some fun!

Hi! I'm just starting into this hobby as a way to hang out with my kids. I got my son a Mini Mauler when he was 6 (oops, time to upgrade him!), I just got my daughter a Vendetta ST, and now I'm in the market for a truck or truggy for me. I've been lurking and reading a bunch.

I live in the Philadelphia area.

Hi everyone
im steve from northern lower michigan, traverse city area.
got into this hobby about 1 yr ago, what a blast!!!! have met some really cool people, made some new freinds, and race at 2 different racing clubs. 1 is in gaylord MI. nmrcc,
and the other near kalkaska.

I started out with a 2.5 revo bought off ebay, now within a yr i have
3.3 revo near platnium specs
losi 8t
slash stock ( was going to modify but the stock class is too much fun )
and a A/E sc8

the losi is a really cool truck but my new love is the 2 short course trucks, that sc8 is so real looking on the track, and a blast to run,

if anyone is in the area and would like to race or hang out with us please contact me through this site for scheduals and times.

steve

Hi guys, My name is herman and I live in Toronto. I have recently become addicted to rc electric cars and boats. In past 4 weeks I have spent over a thousand dollars and have a Rustler,Mini slider, some slow moving tanyia cars and a cool quick traxxis boat. I thought I bouth them for my son, but i have quickly learned that I bought them for myself!. Anyways, i look forward to learning from this forum, and sorry if I ask stupid questions. !!:)

Hello,
This is my first attempt at threading.......
I live in Branson, Mo and haven't been able to find an R/C dirt oval anywhere close. I raced at HobbyTown USA, Tucson for 5 years and then 2 years at R/C Sports Mania, Phoenix for almost 2 years. Nothing like Nitro Sprint Cars on the big banked dirt oval to me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. rshaler43

I am quite new to rc and this forum. I have a problem with my wheels flying off from the Traxxas EREVO. I tighten the hell out of them but every other day a wheel flys off and I lose the lug nut. Is this normal? Do you guys have to always check the wheels every time you race to see if the wheel is loose? i never had this problem with the kiddy rc cars but I wonder if this is what I should expect in terms of pre-maintenance. I also wonder if it is ok to do donughts in the baseball field with rc's as they create a lot of dust and I wonder if the dust can damage my expensive investment?

Hi, my name is Rick. Thank you for your warm welcome. I'm just getting started in this hobby, in fact I haven't even purchased a model yet.
Hoping to get some info from this forum and hopefully I can return the favor by helping someone else someday:)

Hello all,

I have loved RC vehicles since I was a boy, and have had (actually still have) quite a few of the department store cars. I have recently purchased a Duratrax Evader ST RTR. It is my first hobby grade RC vehicle, and I have been enjoying it a lot. So much in fact that my friend and I are going to build an off-road track out behind his house. He has an RC10T and got me interested in stadium trucks. I will hopefully be posting here quite a bit while learning the ins and outs of my truck.

I am very new too rc helicopters. I have always wanted one so I recently bought the Thunder Tiger RAPTOR 30 V2 a few weeks ago. This one came 95% pre-built. It came with the SkyTech T6i 6 channel remote control. The helicopter also was equipped with the ace rc TG-7000 heading lock gyro. I am needing advice and possibly someone to get me started flying.
