20 years old. Been into RC since I was 9 years old. First car was a Traxxas Street Sport. Then I discovered Stampedes. The fun had only begun!

RE: Average age?
With me being 24 the average age of everyone here is 26.125. Been in the hobby since the traxxas hawk, Still have my hawk too. The old ones sit on my shelf but i can never bring my self to selling them. My favorite oldy is my ofna z10 pro. Cool car. Its better if i don't think about how much i spend on rc.

im 14, almost 15, ben in for probably 3 years. 3 years later, and many miles pushing my mower and shoveling driveways, and i end up witha t-maxx, an rc18t, a mini-t and MF2 and a TC4 and my custom creation, a mini giant crawler. mini-t is soon to become my next victim for a mini buggy... im hooked for life. i like the fact that i can get creative by building chassis' and parts for my cars.

RE: Average age?
A fresh 29.
My first real R/C car was a Tyco buggy. I guess Tyco had a hobby grade line at one point- this was the real deal. It was a long time ago, about when the grasshopper came out. I ran the crap outta that thing and lost it in a house fire. I just got back into it last summer. I bought a TL-01 kit after my friends dug their RC10s out. It's my only good 1/10 because I let myself get sucked into planes. It got too cold to run outside so I ended up getting an Xmod to run in my basement, then an Xmod Evo a few weeks ago, right before I discovered Rockcrawling, which is now where my obsession lays.
