I'm 29 and I'll be 30 this year, and yes people of all ages are in this hobby!

 

[SunnyD]

31 next month

Most the guys i know are older but yes it is a hobby for all ages

 

[spyderpact]

right now mostly the older guys..... but I'm 14 I just started! :jester:

 

[kwong2001]

I'm 20...but i'm just a basher...but my car's tight

 

[Diver6127]

33 going on 6.

Honestly though, most people getting into this hobby tend to be early 20's and above. Remember, I said most,not all. That's mostly because of the start up cost. Get into the higher end models (planes, boats, helicopters and high end buggies and cars) and you see a higher age in the demographics.

I am only 13 and i have four cars so i guess i m the lucky one I pay for it all myself too

 

[FastEddy]

I'm OLD!
I believe I'm the oldest regular poster on the forum.:whistle:

 

[GilBeQuick]

I'm 23...been in this hobby now for about 6 years now. It's an addicting one!

 

[gutterboy]

[nitroking]

25 in two months. Been in the hobby on and off since I was ten...more on then off...lol. I have more fun racing RC cars then real ones. Not to mention that wrecking a RC car is a chitload cheaper then going into a wall doing 100 on a drag strip.ha.

I've decided to get back into nitro on-road racing but indoor electric has me bored to death so alas...all the electric stuff is sold..

Peace

man i new it all old people are into this hobby no young kids, but you can't blame em little kids can't fix stuff cuz they break so often kids parents must run outta money to take it to hobby shop, by the way I'm 15 lets see some more youngins in this sport who no how to fix thier own car no lil rich boys!

 

[Error401]

Just a suggestion, but if this thread was in the general discussion area it'd probably get alot more replies. it is in the On-road touring section now.

 

[30%NitroBoy]

True, True Error.....this forum is often dead. Nice sig btw bro.

I'll be 30 on the 22nd of this month. This will be my first official racing year. I've been in this hobby since I was 12, but mostly been bashing til now.

 

[NitroM3GTR]

I'm 14, and I have over $800 in the hobby *ponders about the fact that with that money and the money he has now he could have bought a real car*. Of course, that is $800 over a long time, and mostly a lot of small expenses. I figure I'll be in this hobby for not a whole lot longer, sadly, because from the time I get a car until I'm about 40 I'll be spending all of my money on my real cars. After that, though, I'd like to get back in to it; I figure by then I could make enough money to fund both.

33 been in the hobby since my Fat Wheels r/c when I was like 8. I don't have a lot of cars.. one nitro and a few mini's running around..
my kids were in the age I couldn't keep anythign withut it being torn apart (so I sold all my 7.2 stuff).. now they are in the age where we can run and fix them together...

I figure we'll get into nitro's slowly.. then Actualyl I would liek ot get 3 or 4 mini-t's 4x4's or something of that nature.. quick to charge not a lot of work and a lot of play time..

Don't speak so quick youngin since a lot of us here started near your age and still love the hobby!! Just because we are older doesn't mean we are boring.If it weren't for "kids" Like all of us were then( some still kids mentally ) this great hobby would never have got to where it i now. I still love Electrics RC's but they don't have the playing time like NItro's do. I kknow of a lot of kids your age that have the same passion you have. Keep playin kid!!

BTW I am 28 going on 29 but feel like I am still 12. I have been in this hobby getting a Brog then a boomerang from Then MRC Tamiya. :w00t:
