Default New and glad to be here.

I am probably the oldest guy here. Raced slotcars for years til the hobby sorta dried up. Mostly HO but I ran 1/32 concourse for some time as well. I found a new interest in X Mods because the bodies are pretty close in detail to the real cars. These are the first RC cars I have ever messed with. All the others have lexan bodies that really don't have the detail I want. I am a modeler at heart and my cars have got to look like cars. These little X Mods are fun. I just bought the Nissian GT-R. It is completely stock but not for long. Gotta get the wobble out of the wheels and put some graphics on the body. Anyway, you guys have done a great job setting up this forum and the members seem like a real nice bunch. If it's ok I will hang out here a spell. Mac

I race mini-zs which are the same scale but higher end performance and budget wise.You should see the details and array of bodies for them, very real! But beware it comes at a price. A lot of guys that I've raced with are 60 and older. Some walk with canes.

I live in Prescott Az. It's a pretty nice little town but lacks any kind of car action other than 1:1 scale and that's pretty nice. We have lots of car shows. The main hobby shop that was pushing RC cars closed. The track they raced on is gone as well. We have one hobby shop now. It is a good one but no interest in pushing the hobby, just selling nice cars.
