Hello all,
I'm new to the site, but not to RC. I have several cars in a few different stages of completetion. As of late I am putting back together a Custom Works Dominator to runnung shape. There are no longer any tracks here in Northern California that host its running, but it still is a favorite car of mine. All ideas and or info on parts, tracks and maintainence will be appreciated.

My Son and I really enjoy RC cars, building and running them. It is neat to see him work on them and learn new stuff...me too. I am in awe of the fantastic work I see a lot of people complete...this can be as simple, or complex, as we want it to be. RC folks seem like decent folks who really enjoy the hobby and share and talk the hobby up. Anyways, the nearest hobby shop is more then an hour away...wish I was closer but the rural life style is very nice. We enjoy everything RC...have everything from Tamiya tractor-trailer, to boats, motor cycle, planes, Tamiya, Associated, etc. The only thing that absolutely frustrates me is setting a body for my RC10L4!!! I'm goinf to seek some advice or find a source to do it right.

Take care all and I appreciate reading and learning from you all.

I'm just getting back into R/C cars/trucks after many years off. I was digging thru the store room and found some of my old stuff. Here in Maryland (eastern shore) pan car racing was hot years ago. Most of that has died off around here.
I found a few 1/10 pan cars and an old Losi XXXT that we ran back in the day.
I dug out my power supply and I still have two (2) Turbo 35 GFX chargers that had only been used at a few last races at the oval track in Seaford, De. I think it's closed now ):

A few of us are getting that urge to play again. I guess our next thing is to get cought up on the battery thing, man have things changed, from when we were racing oval up and down the Eastcoast. Oh, my transmiter is an older 3PK that I need to upgrade.

Great site.
Larry

My name is larry wanted to say hello to everyone. Im new into the sport my neighbor has gotten me into doing oval track. I figured i drive big cars in drag racing in the summer why not has something car related in the winter instead of sitting in front of the tv . Im from minnesota we have a few tracks local for oval carpet. i went to watch my first race recently and had a blast. the track owner let me get my feet wet with a slash it was so much fun. i realized it 'll be better with a car that actaully is set up to turn left. well here it all begins. everyone good luck drive fast take risks!!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I've been involver in r/c cars for a long time starting with a Bolink 1/12 onroad car racing on a gym floor w/GE silicone on the tires and damp mopping the floor for more traction. We didn't even have diffs, just straight axles. Man, it's come a long way in 30 some odd years. Thanks again-Russ
