Hello all new to the site!
 

Hey all just wanted to drop a line and say whats up. My name is Chris I am 24 and I just moved to the UK last month. I used to own a RC10T4 not really sure of the specs of it now since I have been out of the scene for so long. I am looking at either 1. getting my old truck back or 2. Getting a used one and starting over and building stadium truck from the ground up. I would also like to get my 4 year old son into the sport, I believe that he would have a blast. Like I said above im coming back into the scene and would like to start racing and was wondering if anyone knows of some off road tracks around the Huntingdon area. I also don't know if you have a newbie thread so I just posted this here, sorry if its not the right spot. Well im done rambling so thanks ahead of time and im looking forward to possibly seeing some people on the track! LATER! :thumbsup:

Just got my 4 year old a Tamiya Lunchbox to start out with in the world of rc
He thinks it's the greatest thing in the world, cool car to start out with, looks good as a scooby doo or A-team van, it's pretty strong & cheap enough to fix if he does crash it & some of the new kits come with a electric speed controller included, i stuck a 5000mah battery in it & he gets about 40 minutes run time!!!
Bit better than the 5 minutes run time i used to get in the 80's :)
As for tracks near to you, try this list

Sweet thanks for that info and the list of tracks!

Stotfold model car club is about 20 miles from you. They run on a Sunday afternoon all year round and Wednesday night in the summer.

Come down and take a look.

If you're planning to race don't buy anything until you're sure it can be run at the local club.
No point in having a truck if they only race buggy's

i might hop down there today to check it out!

ok cool, ill do some searching around, i mainly want to stay trucks but if there is only buggys around i might just have to stick with them

There aren't many places that have a good following of trucks these days. It's mainly 2 and 4wd buggies at stotfold.

popped out to the track today, pretty nice track thinking i might have to get a buggy now

Cool, will see you there 1 day

were you out there today?

No, as it was fathers day i went out with my boys to thrash the lunchbox about
Hopefully will make it there next weekend

imma try to make it out there next weekend to watch again, i kinda got alot of weird looks today lol

lol
It will be my first time racing there as i recently got back into it after a 20 year break, took my B44 out for a spin today with the lunchbox, stupidly fast & jumps like a dream :) the B44 that is :) the lunchbox just has a mind of it's own but is great for a 4 year old, can't wait to get on the track again

well ill have to meet you out there so i kinda know someone lol

I will be easy to spot as will probably be on my roof a lot :)
This is my car

cool i will be easy to spot aswell probably the only person with an California plates and black ford fusion

Cool hope to catch you next week then :)

Why do you think you got alot of weird looks??

probably coz he turned up like his avitar:woot:
