Our Age / Location Etc!, How old were you when you first got into modelling?

You've done enough debating. GET THE BAJA!! It' soooo nice to be able to walk outside, turn on the receiver and transmitter, and pull two cranks and you're going. You will probably still have some gas in the tank from the day before (gas doesn't go bad quick like nitro, so you can leave it in overnight). When you fill up the tank, the only thing you have to take with you for a nice long run is the transmitter and the baja, because you can run for almost an hour on a tank of fuel.

Bla Bla Bla

Got into rc just over a year ago...started with a stock savage x, then hop the thing up to an racing machine. Then i got another savage...took out the s-25 engine to put the same engine than in my X (O.Smax .30vg). Then winter came in, and got myself a cheap traxxas rustler xl-5 and treated it like a sack of sh**. Little time went by and got myself a e-savage(just for the fun) and love it, but the batt doesn't last too long a shot(20min). Then made a trade with my bro in law and now have a Team Losi Micro-t, got a nice set of off-road tires for it(so cute)and just have to paint a new ol' skool pick-up truck body for it and I'm done, once again batt doesn't last long but I'm getting a lipo batt for it...thats my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!

Oh and charlie...gonna get one of those babys when I'm able to poo out 1000$...

I'm Darren, been into r/c since Nov 07. 1st was a GV Flash (stadium truck) then a Bandit XL5. Too slow so went VXL Stampede. Second Nitro was a HSP Atomic (fast pile o shite) and then I bought every fast Traxxas available. I now have 27 down from a top of 31. Plus I have a Hyper 8 being built with an OS Vmax that should haul quite well. My favourite is the VXL Bandit, (electric) and the MGT 8.0. My Smartech Bigfoot is a piece of work too. The problem I have is working on too many at once, and that, being a single man, I can't find time for housework, cooking, yard maintenance etc.
This hobby for me is all consuming, and I think its gunna be a problem. Allbeit one that I think about, and love 24/7.
I dont think I'm alone either...........
