New to the board, old to the hobby!

Post by BajaDale »

Hey Guys! My name is Dale. I live in Kamloops BC Canada. I have a small vintage Associated and Tamiya collection and race new Associated cars at our local track. I started racing in 1986 with a Tamiya Frog and then to a Tamiya Falcon then moved way up to an Associated Graphite stealth car! Tried other brands but always loved Associated stuff. I will get some pics up in the next few days of what I have and maybe you can all tell me what is what! I have and original gold pan car and a newer wider gold pan car both with 6 gears tranny's. I have a couple of DS's and an RC10T black pan with Stealth trans. 8) Great info on this site! I love it! :D :D

Seriously, the worlds best are here. I have no problems saying that, someone please dispute me on that...

Hey Dale, welcome to the board! Nice to see another Canuck here :D

Its true, I don't think you'll find a more knowledgeable group of people on vintage stuff here (especially the RC10) anywhere.

The problem is that I expect my LHS to have this same level of knowledge :lol:

The first car had the 3 piece wheels on it that still have the original tires in mint shape. The second car is a DS. The 10T is a truck I race in our local vintage races. Still just as fast as the T4.1's!
