Hello guys and girls! Im new to the rc hobby. A friend keeps telling me to get a tranxxx t-max. But I didnt have that much money I got a buggy not sure really on the model and everything. But just looking for some starting help on some stuff. My friend told me about the throttle kill spring. And to run 20% fuel and the break in process and everything. Anything else i should know? Also i seen you guys race on sundays, well i work on sundays. Is there any other day u guys race like saturdays or fridays? My car is 1/10th scale with a .18 engine. Thats all really I know. Well here i copied from the website what I bought.

Here it is:

Forza Blue 2-Speed 4WD Nitro Gas Radio Remote Controlled RC Off-Road Buggy Car RTR .18 Engine

Is that a good starter car? Let me know guys, because im lost here. When I get more money together I plan on getting a tranxxx tmax like my friend suggested. Any comments will be appreciated.

Hello Jeff My Name Is Art Iam New To Hobby Talk But It Sure Seems Like A Great Deal.

Welcome folks, A suggestion I might give you, is let us know what area you might be from. One question above was about what days we might race on. Alot of times it may be dependent on where you are located. Our track races paved oval on Saturdays once a month, on road on Saturdays once an month and off road on Sundays once a month. Just my .02

Hi, My name is Doug, I am in centeral lower Michigan. I have been sailing an RC 1 meter sailboat for several years, and have done a pretty goood job of crashing my RC airplane. I have just gotten into 1/18 cars and now the track I planned to run at just closed, so I am looking for an indoor track in the Flint or Lansing area. If I do not find one I will have to run at home and terrorize the dog!

HI, I have been out of RC since the early 90's. Now i am trying to get back into it. I picked up an RC18B team and pulled my RC10 team graphite out of the shed.

I'm looking to find a place to practice and possibly race near Augusta Maine. If i get the the hang of driving again I'll buy what ever is needed to fit into an existing class. but i am kind of fond of the 1/18th scale vehicles.

I am amazed in the power packed into the brushless system I put in the 18b WOW!!! the tech has come a long way since I left the sport.:thumbsup:

So again thanks for the welcome and I will be on here ALOT.

Hello everyone. I'm in a way not new to RC cars, as I've had a Tamiya Clodbuster for many years now, but haven't had it out a lot in the past few. I'd like to get into RC cars as a second hobby to have during the winter, w/my main hobby being hot rods. I am currently unemployed, and looking for work, so I'm getting the ol' truck up an running again. Hope to meet some cool, like minded people here!

Hello Everyone, As you can see Im new to the board, Im thinking of constructing a full blown off roading course on our property, and thought I would see what the interest would be among the enthusiasts of the sport.
Are there many tracks in MI, Ive looked online but it seems as most are indoor, hard floor courses. I have a Haunted attraction in Jonesville with 40 acres of land, and I have a acre that is recessed with a large berm around the perimeter, and I was thinking it would be a sweet set up for a course with plenty of natural scale obstacles and jumps.

'Ello people,
New to the site, several years in the hobby. I lost everything a year ago and now I've moved and am saving up for some new Hpi gear to replace the lost. Thanks all.

I'm new to the sport and just bought a slash. and planning on buying a MRC

Hi Everybody, My name is Kyle and have been in this R/C hobby for about 7 years now. I started out in the dirt section racing at R and L Hobbies racing a Losi xxx-t. They shutdown the clay track so i converted to carpet and have been there running a modified Losi Jrxs Type R there. I have also fell into the oval racing gang as well. My father and I have two 1/10 Cobra Nemesis and just purchased a new Custom Works Pan car. I just found Battlefront R/C track this Thursday and plan on getting back in the dirt. Im looking forward to finding new tracks and making friends while i finish college.

Hi :) I am living in Tokyo Japan. But I am not new to Hank`S hibbytalk. I first appeared in 1996.....But I am back again :) Thank You Hank for keeping this place up for so many years.

HI, My name is Lynn.
I used to race RC10's back in '87-'88 on a dirt oval. I had a Clod Buster for a few years when I first started dating my now wife in '89. I got a RC 10T Team truck after we got married in '94. I then had a Kyosho Nitro Nostalgic series 1/10 Daytona Coupe car for a few years, unfortunatly there was no place to race much less run such a cool car so I ended up selling it after a few years.
I have been out of it until now vowing I would never get back into it after the Kyosho car. My boy will be 4 this year and he absolutly LOVES monster trucks and we went to a Monster Jam three weeks ago and he was mesmorized by them.

I just bought a Associated MGT 3.0 Nitro Monster truck from Tower and waiting on it's arrival. I figured it would be good for somthing for me and my boy to do together and be around it since he loves monster trucks so much, when he gets a little older I'll get him truck of his own.

Lynn

Hello to all of you, it's my 13th year of 1/10 oval racing at GRCSR, still learning and still in love with that hobby.
