Hi,
I’m about as new as can get to RC. Didn’t do it before and came back kinda thing, just new. This summer in August at the local big car show I was advised by my 8 year old they had an RC event, and an accompanying RC car show. I had an opportunity to talk with a guy there and he was super nice and answered my battery of questions. I knew there was hobby following with RC, but until that day didn’t understand the depth to it, and amazed would be an understatement. So my 8 year old being an 8 year old was pumped about a Traxxas, and that got onto the Christmas menu. I ordered two and we both now have a TRX4m with the Defender body, today I ordered first aftermarket upgrades. Slowly wrapping my head around all this and have miles to go still. Small beans to the dedicated pros and hobbyists I know but it’s a start into the most legit RC I have personally ever had. Today I milled around in the back yard on a small hill in about 1 of snow and had absolute blast with it, I can see my next something coming soon. It’s all the fun of off road without shovels, pulling cable or misery of welding a CA mount back on. See I’ve been around built Jeeps for 25 years now, 80 percent of that now has been Grand Cherokees from ‘93 to ‘04, I’ve had about every configuration of one at some point, I don’t wheel much anymore because honestly it’s just cost prohibitive, since Covid parts and fuel costs have kept it lean, not a matter of affording it, matter of just not interested in paying to play. Most of my genuine off-road is done with ATVs trailered somewhere or behind my house, aside from that my other hobby is archery which is a rabbit hole and the one entrance caved in on itself so no coming back out of that. These forums will help, hopefully a lot. I don’t have FB or IG anymore and haven’t for several years now. Anyway glad to be here.
