Hi from an old RCer from back when the first Associated 1/12 car was introduced. Raced 1/12th on road and 1/10 RC-10 off road for a number of years, and like many others was helped out some by Parma International.

Not a "Pro Racer" but a level or two down from close friend Bud Bartos. raced Slots with Jan Limpach, and Bud back in the 60's and 70's then RC with Bud.

Lucky to be from the same area of the country as these two world class racers.

Left RC for 20 or so years, and now back running BRP 1/18th scale cars. Like to say that these things bring back the fun to RC. Even though a Road Racer at heart, Oval racing is a blast with these cars.

Anyone who left RC because of cost and time needed to be competative should consider 1/18th scale racing. I am glad I did.

Hello all,
Im Doug, 18 years old and a senior in a high/ tech school going for welding. I have been in the hobby for the last 10 years with racing the last 2 for it. I have a losi bk2, 8ight T 2.0 truggy, and a slash. I would like to pick up an ele buggy to run this season. My home track is Familyhobbiesraceway.com

Besides r/c I like to 4 wheel, curse around on my quad, and ride my horse. I also hunt deer in the winter in Pa. Crappy New jersey said no to using rifles. I hate nascar. I consider my self a red neck rebel.

Hi everyone, new to the site and have a quick and probaly a stupid question? I have a traxxas Slash and my steering trim is all the way to the right. How do I get this back to center or "0" like when it was new? Do I need to adjust my servo?

Hey everyone! New here and looking for some fellow racers in the area. I live near Kansas City Missouri. I've just recently got back into the sport. I bought a Slash because the class looked like alot of fun. I also just bought my first nitro. It's a HPI Firestorm. Of course then we got 12 inches of snow so I can't even break in the motor on it. About typical. Anyways looking forward to meeting new people and learning new things.

Hello everyone I use to race in the mars series. I am wanting to get back into racing, I really like the slash trucks. I was wondering if the the stateline r/c speedway races the slash trucks evry weekend in the summer and what day they run. I am looking at buying a traxxas slash. Not sure which one yet. If anyone has any suggestions on which slash truck to get I am open to suggestions. If anyone knows of any tracks in the area that races on fridays or sundays drop me a line please.
