Another old guy reliving his youth

[Matt_NC]

Hello Everyone,

I am a 41 year old living in Raleigh, North Carolina, who has just gotten the RC bug again. My first hobby grade RC car was a Tamiya Hotshot in 1986. In 1987 I got an RC10 from Tower Hobbies in NYC. Which I still have in the original box. RC cars were a huge part of my early teens.

This forum is really awesome! I've spent so much time pouring over all the info here, that is time to introduce my self and say thank you.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll get my butt over to the storage unit, dig my car out and post some pictures.

Welcome! At 34 I just bought an RC10 B4 and intend on reliving my youth! (except racing with a budget that means one day i might stand a chance of winning).

You're 41 and call yourself old? I just hit 44...does that mean I need to grow up and quit playing with toy cars? I hope not...

N00bs! (I just hit 46 in March...)

Y'all are going to be playing with your rc cars in the old folks home soon! I'm only 38

Matt, not to worry. I hope to retain my young spirit and wonder of all things RC as long as I can fly and drive them. Would love to see what you've got.

Welcome. Take it easy with throwing the word old around though, I'm about to turn 43

Anyway, I feel like a kid again since I recently got back into rc cars. Main difference now is that I have a whole lot less time and a whole lot more money

Sorry to throw the "O" word out there.

I decided to go to college a couple of years ago, so I've gotten pretty comfortable with it.

In the academic world the PC term is "non-traditional" student.
