Hey all, I wanted to say hi. I am new to crawling but hardly new to RC. I started out in about 1982 and raced on-road, off-road, dirt oval, drift and almost everything in between. I was one of the three founders of (what was at that time) one of the largest RC Drift groups in the country (One Ten Drift Network https://youtu.be/YSDyuZ7N3ok ) and was in contact with RC Drifters around the world. Due to reasons I wont get into I had to leave that group and now I am into this. I just started a few weeks ago with a Redcat Everest 10 Gen 7 and love it to death. My track is a cord of firewood here in NW Montana and I love it. The fact that I can be who I am and not incur the wrath of the rest of the hobbyists is great.
You see, I don't see all of this as a competition between drivers but one of machine against machine. I am a technician. 3 years of college learning Diesel Technology (technically I only had to take 1.5 but I loved the pursuit) and Mechanized Agriculture. For me it is all a drive for mechanical perfection.
Either way, I am just glad to get my hands dirty again. I was hit by an Illegal Alien hopped up on Tequilla after I finished my school and so could not get a job in it. RC will have to do instead. Disability is a harsh mistress.
Anyway, great to meet you all.
