PA Basher

[OldSchoolRC]

Hello all - just jumped ship from "another forum" and glad to be here! Old school is right, i have been doing this for a long time.

Started with an FX10 and a Big Brute and have been soldiering along since. I've accumulated a lot of cars between now and then, i had about 30 in my stable currently (see the showroom pics) and many others that have come and gone but have started selling things off as real life kicks in (and my first mortgage) and i start to focus on more tamiya products and scale builds. My rule now is if i buy one, i have to sell one.

Mostly a basher, i live in the boonies so there's plenty of areas to crawl and roost some dirt. If they ever build a track out here again, I'd love to get back in to racing again.

Other interests: Bikes, ATV's, Transformers nut, full size cars, trains -both large and layouts....and that's pretty much it.

Oh, and Skittles all the way!!!!

Welcome aboard! I used to know some people from The Sticks, PA. Grew up not far from there myself... I am from near the western Sticks...just outside of the Boonies.

I have been trying to convince myself of the same deal you have with yourself... buy one - get rid of one.... not going real well. That's what is when you have an RC addiction, eh?

[OldSchoolRC]

Thanks, good to be aboard!

Western sticks is nice, i am eastern sticks. equally distant from Amish country, poconos, and Philly and surrounded by woods and farm - not a bad place to be!

Obsession is right, i have a lot of passions and RC has been right at the top for years.

...Started with an FX10...

I still have my FX10. That is one cool buggy. I have mine all tricked out with CRP front suspension and a modified chassi to keep the front end from breaking. I keep the MSC just to keep it retro!!! It is good to see someone who remembers the classics:D

Haha, when you say"the sticks"where does that mean. Im in the poconos. If you want to join my rc club let me know :)

[OldSchoolRC]

not quite in the poconos, about 40 miles NE of Philly. (but i was just up there for the week camping and riding quads in forksville....think that's near there)

RC Club? sure, tell me a little more about it

[maxxdout]

well i didnt exactly start it yet. Ive been looking for some people to join. It will be a mini and micro club unless i get another emaxx or something. I have a bigger track i used for my mini-t that needs a lot of work. Do yu have AIM?

[OldSchoolRC]

ha, mini's and micro's are the only things i do not have. i have been looking for an excuse to pick up an e-maxx though.... :) keep me posted!
