My 1 Year Rc Aniversery!!!

[rctruckz]

Think i got into the hobby when i was about 9yrs old (im 29 now!) but i had breaks in-between.. family/jobs etc :)

I had RC cars before that but it was when i was about 9yrs old i had my very 1st "decent" RC model which was a Tamiya Hot Shot II 4WD (still remember it now!), followed by various other Tamiya's, then I ventured into the nitro scene with my 1st being a Marder (damn were these things ugly & performance was worse!) but still, i enjoyed it & from then on I had a few different Nitro's (mainly trucks) & never went back to EP, run times annoyed me & i liked the idea of a real engine making my trucks move :)

But now ive gone a step further & this is probably my last stop! 1/6 scale FG Monster Beetle Pro, love the thing, I still have 2 nitro trucks but im gunna give them to my kids as part of they're xmas box, just gunna get new wheels/body's for them & do a nice spray job for em :-)

Ive also been interested in RC Planes/Helicopters but never went through with buying one (mainly because im from UK & weather sucks!) but i do a have an RC tug boat that im in middle of building, started it about 2 yrs ago & its still not finished! ..im just doing bits on it when im bored to pass time :)

lol, i just googled to find a pic of a hotshot 2:
$820 on ebay! ! why did i sell mine for about £40! ....oh i remember, it was about 18 yrs ago!

anywayz heres a nice pic of it...was a classic!
