What's your brushless street cred?

LOL! I'm 30 and just trying to sound cool! :cool:

Promod, 10~15 e-maxxes, plus all the others? WOW! I just got into the hobby about 1.5 years ago when I saw my friend's Stampede. As soon as I saw it I had to get one myself. I think that Stampedes and Rustlers are gateway drugs!

That I think you are correct on that one. I feel like 90 percent of RC addicts all just picked up a rustler or pede cuz it was cheap and looked fun. Then... Well we all know what happens next.

I think this is the oldest rc forum on the net. Most other places are a bunch of 14 year olds. BTW, I'm 37, but still 14 at heart.:018:

I guess I'm in the 10% then since I started with the Revo. However, I plan on getting my son a Stampede for Christmas so we can both go have fun. (Actually, when I get it, I'm going to take it all apart to make it a "kit" so we can assemble it together).

Heh, my first real RC was a Rustler...

I'm not all that old yet :018:. But I'm not 14 either... 17 is the lucky number.

I don't feel so bad at 36 and still playing with toys.

If rustlers and stampedes are gateway drugs for rc, the novak brushless is gateway for brushless.

My previous post was the progression of 6 months, been reading and learning since the late '90s , but finally took the plunge this year

True. GTB was my first. I didn't mind the sensors, but didn't like the 6 cell limit.
