Turning 19 in April. Been playing with RC cars since I was 4  and wondering why all these newer cars break so fast (steering on both my mini-z and my xmod both work horribly, twitchy, etc. never used to happen on my old cars  )
edit: but that's not to say that I don't my xmod dearly, of course (mini-z broke for good, though)

Yup, they don't make them like they used to. It took me probably a year or two to completely destroy my Tyco Turbo Hopper (at that point it was held together with popsicle sticks and duct tape!). I managed to break something on my first nitro RC car within a week.
Hobby-quality stuff breaks, plain and simple. It's made to perform, not to last. Otherwise, the hobby companies wouldn't make any money! Really it's a huge scam, but as long as the buyers are happy, who cares?
That said, I think the xmod is somewhere between hobby quality and toy quality. It seems pretty tough so far.

The cool thing about being online is that your age doesn't matter. I've chatted with 13-year-olds I've sworn were in their 20s and people in their 30s that acted 15.
So really, who cares how old you are?
