Return to DiscussionsI guess Ill start with the first post. I have been intrigued with radio controlled cars and airplanes my entire life. Really, since I was about 6 or so. I am mostly into cars, but have a few airplane models. The planes are for when I retire or have a dedicated workshop, but thatll be a few years. I have always wanted to fly, but thats no longer conceivable because I have no depth perception (half-blind), hence the name. So, the planes will go to my son or grandkids.
Now, for my cars, those are mine! I started with a Grasshopper in 85 and I still have it with the original chassis and gearbox. Everything else has been modified over the years. Besides that, I have other GH chassis, Frogs, a TA02, a FF01, a few RC-10s (originals), Terra Scorcher, Falcon, Fox, LaTrax Teton, a 1/10 Traxxas Slash, 2 Traxxas 1/16 Slashes, a 1/16 Animus Helios ST, a Tamtech 1/24, a hybrid RC10 scratch build, and a few other hack jobs.
I absolutely enjoy working on my cars nude (when I get a chance), but look forward to driving them around outdoors someday. I just got a 3D printer so Im looking forward to making some custom parts.
