Hello from Ontario
Hello from Ontario
Hi all, new guy from Ontario checking in.
I recently got back into RC. Had a few buggies, a track car and a few monster trucks as a child growing up, forgot how fun they were. Nice to see my kids enjoying the same experiences I had as a child ...well not exactly ALL the same experiences. its amazing how far the RC world has come since I was a kid in the 80s, availability, the modern technology, motors, better batteries etc. not to mention the internet for help and insight. Everything has come such a long way.
While looking for a buggy for my collection I came across a complete, still in the box RC10 Classic this past weekend and picked it up to build. I didn't realize the significance or history of this particular buggy... Just awesome! I'm totally stoked to build it now!
Cheers

Hello Leyland and welcome to the brave new world of 2.4ghz, lipo, and brushless. I was away for 20+ years and had to catch up as well. I think with all the new technology, cars are a lot less hassle and more fun now.

Re: Hello from Ontario
Hey there, glad you found us! Just be careful with that RC10, they like friends... you'll have half a dozen of them before you know it!
