I turned 40 this month - I'm the winner!!! I introduced my 9 yr old son to mini RC racing and we love racing each other. It's a great activity for fathers and sons -- it's cheap to get into and you don't need special courses, the kitchen floor works great.

YAHOOOOOO!!! I knew I couldn't be the oldest. It really doesn't matter tho, my mind feels like its 17 and my body feels like its 62.

Steve,

You're right about the father/son thing. I plan on picking up a BC-G for my 11 year old as soon as possible and break out the legos to turn the coffe table into an impromptu track. Great fun!!

unfortunately my son is only 2 1/2. i still bought him a bit. i figure i could fix it up, break it in for him until he's old enough

. i look forward to having a race partner.

i need a racing partner... anyone in the VA area? maybe round fairfax, annandale, springfield or burke area?

I think i'm going to start the very first racing crew for bit cars... i'll post more info as soon as i make one... heheh... i think i'll make an online one too! e-mail me at KrazyAznBoi@hotmail.com for more details. when we make one and get lotta members we can have our own team signature or something... lol... just thinking...

i turn 15, on tuesday. I got into r/c's, cuz when i was like 7, i was given a slot car track. Ever since then ive been into all sorts of cars, mini 4WD, little whacked out r/c's, 1/10 cars, other stuff and now bits. After I get my next paycheck, i plan on gettin the AE86 mini-z, or any cool looking mini-z. Oh yeah, i got into bits, cuz my buddy 323it, got one off ebay. I thought they looked cool, and once i got the money for one, bought one. Been fun ever since, and its good to have a place like QFM, like jets winners circleduring the mini 4wd days.

who me?!!?

Mini 4wd was cool. too bad there's no local tracks here that have them... i guess its time for that hobby to retire since its soo old. I remember playing with a couple of them in the 80s when i was in Taiwan. Never really kept them. Until I saw what E)(pulsion had that brought back memories and i kinda got back into the hobby. I really love RCs and the smaller the better

I wanna get a Micro but is currently working on my TA03

usagi · #25 08-28-2002, 12:26 PM

Cool there are other people then me!

Hardtrukr · #26 08-28-2002, 09:38 PM

I am 13 Sept 2nd. I thought I was the youngest. Kids these days

. But I have the most cars for 13 & under.

kbtoyz902 · #27 08-29-2002, 01:03 AM

Whoah, im sep 2 too. Thats cool, we gotta have like a birthday post, and people can send us money into our paypal accounts. LOL. yeah tony, when you showed me like your r/c you bought, i looked at the rest of your stuff and i saw the bits, and i was like these are cool, and saved up money after i bought waht i needed. yeah mini 4wd was cool in its day. People tried to bring it back, and im happy they did cuz i got to sell what DIDNT get stolen. got me a castrol bit, a couple pairs of shoes and jeans. Now they got ones that are controlable. Thats crazy, but i think im gonna stick with my bits, TA03, that STILLLLL needs an ESC, and maybe on my next paycheck, a mini-z. Possibly a digi-q, but it seems that control is the only thing i like about it.

GreatDane · #28 08-30-2002, 01:00 AM
