Who's the Oldest?

sneuburg · #1 08-25-2002, 03:12 AM

Just thought it would be fun to find out who the oldest Bit Char-G hobbyist is. I happen to be 32 years of age and love these little things. Ever since my Mom bought me a Tamiya Frog when I was a teenager, I've been hooked. I recently dug it out of my attic, blew the dust off and reassembled it and it WORKS!! But, for now, I'm a Bit Char-G lover. So, if you're older than me, post a reply and state your age (be honest) and if you're older than the last post to this thread, post a reply stating you're age, etc., etc.

BTW, my birthday is Nov. 1 in case someone is the same age.

Wow! I was de-throned so quickly. I thought I'd last at least a couple days!

I'm 38, will be 39 december 22.

I've been into R/C since I was a kid, bought my first real R/C when I was 20 it was an RC 10.

I used to do some crazy stuff when I was very young 6-9 years old.I once made an erector set car(haven't we all), it was very simple front axle rear axle with pulley, it rolled straight and to liven it up I attached a sewing machine motor man did it fly then.

Yep when I was a kid there where no abundant supply of R/C vehicles mostly just batttery powered free running toys or if you were lucky you would get a wired controlled toy (I had a honda 3 wheeler)and I had to walk for miles through the deep deep snow, up hill both ways mind you, just to get some lame batteries that would die almost as soon as they went into the toy and..............zzzzzzzzzz

I'm 39 and will be (gulp) 40 in Sept. I think I'll stop counting after that.

i was never really into R/C. I had some regular RC cars but didn't buy the real build it yourself kits until a few years ago. and then i saw the Digi Qs and found out about their rival Bit Char-G and I just had to get some

28 in november

as long as i can remember, i have always been building things like minature cities for hot wheels, z scale trains, lego cities, etc. it's no surprise i ended up being an architect. i still build things, just life size now. i happen to come across a bit char g forum a while ago and the youthful urge to build in minature was reborn.
