Why are you into R/C?

[Tex]

I've always been in it ever since a little kid. Started off with Nikko/Tyco, then went to the "Lobo/Lobo2" then off to a Kyosho Raider in '93. I remember having RC mags (books actually) in like '82-'83 and drooling all over them. Completely trashed the Raider by '94 and bought a Traxxas Bandit RTR in '96. Played with that for a couple years around the house then bought a stampede. Had that about a year then bought a T-Maxx 2.5 (first one from the Aurora HobbyTown). That was like November '02. Then in '04 I started racing competatively and that's all I do really now, although it's fun to play and bash occassionaly. The adrenaline rush during an actual race is what keeps me racing instead of bashing.

I have been less of a tinker-er than I used to be which is a good and bad think. I definitely used to spend more money when I had tinkeritous.
