Getting back into it

Hello fellow RC enthusiasts!

After 20+ years, I have decided to get back into the hobby :D It started off innocently enough when my dad bought me a Hornet a few years ago as a retro themed Christmas present and somehow I now have a bunch of buggies and a Tamiya M1025 sitting on the rack. Like many on here, I started out in the '80s and my first real RC car was a Wild One. Since getting bitten again a couple of years ago, I have amassed quite a few.

Somewhere in storage I have that Wild One, a Big Wig, RC10, RC10L, and a Kyosho Monster Vette (at least that is all I can remember). I should be reunited with them in a few months :D All of them are probably in terrible shape because they were all well used and were backyard/street/neighborhood bashers.

Been reading this forum for quite a while and figured I should probably join to say THANK YOU to all the posters for all the information and ideas! I am now almost confident enough to take the plunge and get a brushless/lipo setup. I remember back in the day when ESCs were new and called MOSFETs; a lot has changed.

Welcome. And welcome back! This is a great place. We all have the same "problem". Keep us posted on the deep storage recovery op.

Haha your problem seems to be a recurring theme for many of us here. I am also a recent returner.

Welcome! Basically the same story here, i dug my rc10 out of the closet in my parents house after 25 years or so and haven't looked back since. :mrgreen:
