Mach 1 Club

Couple years ago I jumped into the Radio Control world with both feet. It all started when I purchased a Traxxas 3.3 Tmaxx



It was a great truck and put ALOT of Nitro fuel through it. Also broke ALOT of parts which was why I had a BIG stock pile of spare parts. One night I was bored so I decided to put some of my spare parts together. Next thing I know I had a 2nd Tmaxx :)



Then my buddies talked me into racing with the local RC club and well ofcourse the Tmaxx was no good for that so I had to purchase a 3.3 Revo



But once I watched what it was all about I decided against it (should have done that before my purchase)

So then I had 3 trucks.....2 brand new and one that was beat to Heck LOL so for some reason I thought I needed a 4th LOL To the hobby store I went and out I came with a Jato 3.3



Truth is actually my buddy bought something that was faster then my Tmaxx so I bought the Jato to kick his butt, well......if he didn't blow his motor and had no plans to repair it. So........Jato never got dirty LOL

Then I decided I had a problem hahaha.....So I sold the 2 Tmaxx's and fired up the Revo. Jato still lives in the box but thats o.k......eventually I might get it out again.

Also have a couple electric vehicles

First is a Traxxas Emaxx

Stock



Then I turned it into this



And last but not least, my basement winter racing car :) Its a RC 18 with a brushless motor in it.



Only thing that sucks about it is I can't get a Mustang body for it, but it FLYS!!!!! and is actually alot of fun.

Just looked at all the pictures I posted and they all look too shinny. Have to shot some pic's of the REVO & RC18 but for now here is some of the Old Tmaxx & Emaxx







Emaxx

Those are pretty cool. I've played with my kids Radio controlled ones, but they were not that fancy!

They can be alot of fun. Pretty expencive hobby though. Fuel alone was 35 a gallon when I last purchased it. Who knows what its worth now. I kinda got out of it for a year and am slowly kinda getting back into it. Just purchased a new charger and finding out that my batteries didnt like being stored for a year LOL Don't really wanna purchase new batteries, priced out the cost to repaced the ones I have and it was $300 plus shipping to Canada.

I used to be into them about 8 years ago, but got bored with it, not to mention it gets very expensive.

To many hobbies with cars, quads, motorcycles and RC cars, computers, electronics. I don't have enough money to do everything

I raced nitro road cars pretty heavily in 1998 with and against a bunch of my pals. We'd head out every Saturday fr several months and blow the whole day just driving - tons of fun!

I originally bought a Kyosho Pegasus back in '85, but soon discovered it was pretty much a turd and I hated charging batteries. So, once again bitten by the bug in 1997, I bought my first nitro car: Kyosho SuperTen GP and had ball with it. Then I inherited a Traxxas Nitro Hawk from one of my buddies before he left Goodfellow. A few years back I got bit by the bug again and snagged some nice deals on ebay.

My cars now:
Kyosho SuperTen GP
HPI Super Nitro RS4
HPI Nitro RS4 Racer
Traxxas Nitro Hawk
Kyosho Pegasus (2 of them... don't know how I wound up with the second one)

Road racing's fallen out of favor again, but I don't care. All I need is a clean parking lot and I'm good. I just wish I had a couple buddies to run with - it's so much more fun that way.
