Dives_Under_Breaking Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi all, another new member here. I trust everyone is managing to stay safe and well during the pandemic. This site is one of the main reasons I got back into RC after a 30 year hiatus. What started as owning one model (2wd Traxxas Slash) has now become a garage of 15 including what I consider my ultimate RC - Losi5T. This site and its members have been a continual source of advice/guidance as I want to upgrade any of my models/encounter issues or for just general info when looking to buy stuff (eg accessories like batteries). I have, at the age of (over 40 ) finally joined a club near me and started racing. Only competed in one race so far. I've gone for the 'entry level' class...'Tamiya' rumning TT01 chassis...the reaspn being to keep costs down, but still have fun. Finally thought I'd join this site as I was looking some guidance someone has posted about TT01 race prep/set-up ages ago...and thought, instead of always 'taking' why not join and help others with the little bit of experience I have got over the last 3 years. Not brand loyal. My cars range from FTX Kanyon & Mini-Outback 2.0, to Maverick Strada rtr drift car, to 4 Traxxas models, 2 Tamiyas and a Losi 5T amongst others...only 3 of them were brought brand new. Majority were all second hand. Looking forward to learning more from everyone, contribute where I can and continuing to enjoy the RC hobby. ps belos is just some of them to (whet the appetitie) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it second hand on a TT01 chassis...started racing at a local club...entry level, Tamiya class....4 races in, too many bad crashes and the front end is literally hanging on by the threads of the drywall tape the previous owner used to add strength to it lol....so now it’s going to get some new drywall tape and shoo goo, get re-strengthened and then retire to a shelf.....but must admit...the additional scrapes and damage to the shell make it look more realistic...as any well used Rally car should look lol 👍🙏.....yeah ever since rejoining the hobby and learning that 1/5th scale existed ...I knew I would get one at some point....at the time I kept making excuses eg...I know nothing about petrol engined rc, I have no space to run it etc...but after lots of searching found myself a great second hand one for £600 great condition, and from what others have said it’s got a couple of decent upgrades on it, so all good 👌👍🙏 Edited August 19, 2020 by Dives_Under_Breaking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
