I'm 25, soon to be 26. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I get the "NERD ALERT" noise from her, and a roll of the eyes when I pull them out. Got my brother in to them though, I'm getting the look from his Wife now. Just got my Battery upgrade and 3.8 and I love it.

Wow, we got a lot of old guys here!!! I am 20, currently in my third year of college at the University Of Iowa (GO HAWKS!!!) My roomate and friends all think I am gay for playing with these things but I really dont care!! They are fun, I like to mod them cause I like to mod my real car (but that is FAR more expensive) So when I cant play with my real car, I play with thsese little guys!

24, and my obsession with cars is sick as a certain new member of this forum can attest to. My other hobbies are helping out with a local race shop/racer to develop products for my car (which has a weak aftermarket), and I'm trying to start up a business with a partner in the market as well.

19 here and infact there are a couple other 19 -20 year olds on campus, all engineers, that have cars. We get way to technical with them though.

I'm 19 here too. Not too old for this hobby as it is quite expensive. Wish there were more people around my area to race with. If anyone is in Santa Barbara, let me know!

Im 27 and probably the only guy in Greece to play with Bits.

When I told my friends that I want to buy one of these little devils they laughed at me.

But, now almost every time they came at my home, they wanna play with them.

Hi my names B and I'm bit-oholic,

I'm 28 with no wife, no kids, no excuse.... I just love playing with toys. I was in denial for years... a closet toy collector, it wasn't until recently that I began to accept who I am and what I like. "I'm a grown man who loves to play with toys and I will no longer hide in the shadows in shame".

well, i'm16 from oregon. i got in to BITs about 3 weeks ago..soo phat. my friends down in cali told me about zipzaps..and i'm like "oh tight ", but i didn't buy ZZ cause i don't like radioshack. so i did some researching on line for " tiny rc" and guess what i found this site and learned about BITs. and like hell a bought one
i'm also into lego technics...but i stopperd buying them when starwars-legos came out... lego sup to be unique. "the toy that builds imaginations" not some action-figure-like harrypotter.
and these new pieces are so huge and odd shaped. you can't build any thing else with 'em. i wan't the old legos back.
( back to bits)
i don't know any one in corvallis or OSU that have bits. i might post some signs in my highschool or some thing. i think one kid has ZZ, but i can't find him
