[Virdi]

I'm 29 and when my dad see's me fixing up my cars - He always says:

'Aren't you a bit old for all that??'

Hey it could be worse u could be doing a full scale racing where time is limitied

Rc's is a matter of opinion Me i say Bring it on People are still working with rcs in there older age, its a good market and income in some places

your neaver to old everyone needs a hobby to vent frustration and keep the mind busy i know people in there 70s using RC it gets them out of the house to meet new people and enjoy them self. your neaver to old to enjoy life and if racing RC is what you enjoy then why the hell should you stop doing something you enjoy

[hoss]

your never to old

iam 36,an still mad into it :D

an i know loads that are older than me in the hobby

[Mr Terminator]

I'm 40 years young and still get more enjoyment out of RC than any other pastime,so many variables and possibillities you can never be too old for this game mate as there's always another avenue to which you may want to try....

NEVER!

Some people will ask the inevitable question of "Aren't you too old for that?" but they tend to be the people who know sod all!

I don't know your dad (I don't think) so I can't specifically comment in this instance.

[martin]

my grandad is close to 80 and he still flys rc planes and builds rc boats hes who got me into rc, personally i think your too old when you cant hold a transmitter any more

[Danny-B-]

Live your life the way YOU want to not how people expect !

I'm 27 (today in fact) and im never gonna grow up ! not like peter pan style but, whats the point in being boring just cos thats what people expect ya to do !

Viva la RC !

[Matt B]

Exactly, in fact most chavs find my Rustler amazing, and my mates reckon I should take it in on the last day of the exams

[rckiller]

im 32 and my dad 63 and i asked him when his he going to pack in the rc game and he said never as he enjoyes it to much to ever give in

[tbrs4]

happy birthday danny b.

I think the day i stop will be the day i am put 6 foot under.

[Spoonmeister]

personally i think your too old when you cant hold a transmitter any more

Ye, but you can get a neck strap to hold it for you!

And I'm sure you could learn to drive/fly with your feet

I'm never going to pack rc in unless I become a complete cripple (i.e. paralysed), when I die or have severely bad look & give up all hope!

[ben_rc]

Happy birthday Danny

[rcmatt]

I think when the stana stair lift gives you more of a buzz than your RC its time to give up

[tbrs4]

but its got to cost the same as a savvy.

[OriginalJoker]

Why give up, there are too many past times out there that you have to give up when you grow older but RC doesn't have to be one of them. I used to live near to the old roydon aerodrome and theyfly RC planes and copters up there most sundays and there was one guyy who used to be in a wheelchair and he was still loving it and he must have been 60 if he was a day.

I'm 32 and I still love my RC.

I think the issue may be that some people think of RC cars as kids toys - they aren't!

I'm knocking on the door of the big 40 - but this didn't stop me giving the micro-T a blast round the office yesterday

[Evil_Sheep]

i'm 15 and i love it, hope i continue it for as long as i live, only thing that limits me is trying to run the hobby on pocket money prices, but i seem to do alright (3 cars)

[53HRA]

hope i continue it for as long as i live

Spot on
