I was quite surprised at how many of us have RC models, so i've decided just to spread the joy to the world and see if anyone else on the forum owns one.








F4T4L 3RR0R owns;

(which I actually won, and gave to him)[/i]]


I, BleepyEvans own;
  • 2x[/i] 1/8th Nitro RallyX Buggy - TLR 8ight EU]
  • 2x[/i] 1/10th Electric OffRoad Buggy - TLR TwentyTwo]
  • 1x1/8th Nitro OnRoad Circuit - Mugen MRX5




About me

If you didnt already realise, I have a small collection of cars. But considerindering that my cars are professional models, im actaully quite lucky to have the amount I have.

I dont just have the collection I have, because I want them, I race these models competitively around the country.

Ive been racing for around 3 years now. I got into the sport when I bought a cheap model on ebay and was told that they race models like the one I had 5 minutes down the road. After I had checked it out I was hooked.

Last summer I won my clubs Summer Series. The prize was a Losi 8ight EU which was added to my already growing collections of EUs.

Outside my clubs I have also raced in the Northern Regional Series, which is a series of around 5-7 races at differnet venues all around the North of England, from Scotland down to the Midlands. Ive ran this series twice, first year I came 16th overall and 2nd best Junior), then last year I came joint 4th overall.

The top drivers from the North and South Regional sereis are then invited to a race called the Champions of Champions which was held in London which I came around 30th.

Due to my early sucess I gained support from UK model distributor Horizon Hobby UK through my local model shop [uurl=[URL]http://radio-racers.co.uk/]Radio[/URL] Racers[/url]. Unfortunatly in my world, education comes first so this year I've had to give up the racing until I get into University then I hope to start up again and run the British Nationals and race against the top drivers in the country.

I also want to race in a international race held in the UK called The Neo Race, its held every year, drivers from all around the world, America, Japan, Italy etc come and race for the Neo title.




Thats my story, whats yours?

I couldnt find a factory image because its the old model so I just had to settle for someones homemade one.

You have a B44? Nice! I also have a Team Associated RC18T and a Losi Micro-T. I like that Losi 8ight and I like that Mugen Seiki.

Thanks Deadly, and I also have a Venom Mini Giant, but it is so terrible, I didn't mention it.

Yeah bleeps I love stadium trucks but I bought them before this whole short course crap fired up, otherwise I would have a couple of SC10s and a couple B44.1s.

I don't race yet. Only because I don't have the money to fix them yet.

ihazsc10 built a mini-track at his house so we sometimes bash on that.

It was a similar price for mine, but it was 100 sheets of around 20 stickers, of various sizes which I quite like.

That and I dont pay for postage because they arent that far away from where I live

Well there used to be a website, but I emailed him about a week ago about updating the site for him, but he didnt reply. Only other way is to do it manually. Where bouts do you live and ill google it for you.

-PS Fatal Error, this is still on topic as its an RC Track.
