I know I am part of this being 45 and I know I am not the only one here....You know your getting older when it seems like you are either forgeting somebodys name or your going to the bathroom.....

Uh Oh, I wouldn't call 40 old farts just yet (feels like sometimes). Of course I hear it sometimes at 46 from the wife, but she just turned 40 so she can't give me as much crap anymore.

Finally a thread that Ian can't be a post whore in!

Good luck to all of the guys over 40...

42 Here! I never felt older than 27 until this past year....now with work and personal demands mounting I'm feeling my age and then some. Grrrr.

RC helps take the edge off though! Here's my latest project, a Brushless CRT.5....more mods forthcoming!

btw....for those wondering....I'm the senior moderator for RCBros and opted to use a RCBros CRT.5 Brushless Conversion Kit to promote the kit. Of course RC-M provided the heatsink/motor clamp, pinions & shaft adaptor, Mamba Max ESC, and Feigao 7S motor.

Nice conversion! That's a REALLY long antenna though; I can't see the end of it in any of the pics!

No doubt playing with our "toys" can help to feel younger.

5 years yet and then I can get discounts for bus rides, cheaper food at the Cossy Club, start looking at Viagra advertisments..........so much to look forward too

Don't take offence, I give my Dad raspberries for his age and as I am also one of the youngest at work (almost 35) they get it too

Cheeky young rascal

I'll stop now before I do get whipped

Never count the "grandads" out! All the bouncers at the local bar I work at get underestimated by the younger guys. I'm 39 and the other guys are in there early 40s. The younger guys think cuz we're old they can give us crap when it's time to get bounced. Bad idea. Grandad knows what you're going to do before you do it. He has been there! It's great when some kid thinks he's going to throw a punch to impress his buddies, and some "old cat" schools him, and he ends up on his ass outside.

My back, knees, and feet may be killing me but you forget all that when you need to. Sunday mornings I feel like a train hit me though. Ough ya, there are the ladies, they all love the old bouncers. Must be the shirt. Membership has its privliges!!
