RE: your first truck
well my 1st car electric or nitro was a Losi XXX Buggy that was made in 2001. My 1st nitro (and maybe last) was a xxx-nt sport rtr 2. It might be my last not because I dont like it, but I am hooked on electrics right now and the only nitro cars that intrest me are 1/8 buggies and truggies and I dont have the money now. [&o]

I started with airplanes first, then began racing carpet on-road to get through
the winter. My first nitro was an HPI nitro RS4 II. My first nitro truck was a
XXXNT. I sold it and got an RC10GT, which I liked better.[sm=shades_smile.gif]

RE: your first truck
Damn you guys are young or I'm old .I started with a electric Traxxas hawk about 20 years ago,man the memories for sure.It was half traxxas half shoe goo.I then upgraded to a Tamaya hornet wow even more memories and shoe goo.I still have the hornet why I don't know but I do.First nitro was a 10th oval car wow that was a blast racing that thing back in the day.I only have one electric and to many nitros but always want more.

I first saw an RC10 in 1989, when I was stationed in SanDiego. This was when the Losi/Associated
thing was just heating up. I wanted one of those badly! I Finally got my "gold tub" a few years ago
while working p/t at my LHS(I have two now). I will never part with them. I guess patience does pay

I saw my first "real" R/C car in 1986, when I was 15. It was a Grass Hopper that belonged to a friend.

RE: your first truck
I have one of those old RC10's too, with the gold chassis.
It has Andy's aftermarket parts and a stock car body.
I bought it for $20 about two months ago

RE: your first truck
My first truck was over ten years ago and that was a traxxas hawk and about a year later I got a team losi xx-t and ran them both untell I got married and had kids. I can't remember but I sold or traded them both once my free time disappeared. Now that I'm self-employed and divorced I recently got a used team losi xxx-nt to play with. I'm addicted to it all over again.

RE: your first truck
Hear they are. The red one is a "six gear car" I recieved it just like it is here. It's
very original. The orange/blue one is a "stealth car", it has the up-graded tranny.
That one was a basket case when I got it. It's my runner, so it has some modern
stuff on it. I was suprized by how well they drive![sm=shades_smile.gif]

RE: your first truck
I started out with a redcat tornado bb but I don't really count that cause I never did anything right with it and I basically destroyed it from the inside out. Then I got a jato 3.3. Love it.
