started in hobby 11 years ago, got out around 9 years ago (first RC was cool, but slow) got back in 2 years ago.

though my very first nitro powered truck was one that was made by Cox and was powered by the .049 engine they have, was a off road stadium truck design that wasnt radio controlled but you would lock the wheels and it would go around in circles...I had this when I was 12 yrs old
