Afternoon Folks, Im neil and Im a complete newbie to the R/C race world.
Ive only ever had 1 car, a kyosho pureten nitro which has ran for about 6 months out of my 7 year ownership, lol, however my brother in law bought an xmod and I kind of got interested again from there. I own a vinyl graphics business and have started offering stickers for the xmods, and thought why not go for the bigger scale cars aswell
Ive got a neighbour who told me about a local club he went to ages ago, so about 3 weeks ago I knocked on his door, checked he was going and he introduced me to Jarrow & Oxclose R/C club, and he kinda got me hooked.
Its gone one step further, I raced my first time 2 weeks ago using the club lotus elise, and extremely slow car with a dodgy servo not allowing it to go straight lol. I cudnt be doin with that anymore so i looked on ebay and picked up a stunning, bargain TC4 for £80 delivered, and I set to work, had some old wheels i sprayed matt black, got a new shell, and got some minipins for the school hall floor. Tues night was my first time with it (and the kacky wheel controller) I finished last in 4 of the heats out of 5 cars, but in the last heat i came in 4th and the final i finished in 3rd after being 2nd in most of the race, so i was well chuffed.
Big thanks to my neighbour Ian who lent me some batteries to cover me as only 2 sets came with the car and one was cabbaged, but now it begins, lol, the empty wallet and all that, hahaha!
