RE: Who are you??
Hi my name is Magnus, I'm 24 years old, living in Umeå, sweden. I study at Umeå university to become a construction engineer and I only have 1,5 years left.
My first RC was a Thunder tiger rally and it was 14 years ago, I played with it for about a year then become tired of RC ( I don't know why?).
But after a long time away from RC I did a comeback 3 years ago with a CEN MT2, and all I could think about was that RC truck
I now own one CEN MT2, CEN genesis, RC18T and still my very old Thunder tiger Rally. I will soon own a CEN Matrix ARR, I ordered one last weekend and it's so frustrating to wait for it .
This year i'm going to start racing with my CEN Matrix, I think it will be great. I will race both local and national.
The down side of this hobby is all the money you spend on it
As a student you don't have alot of money and the only thing you want is to buy new stuff for your RC trucks
Thanks CEN for making fun trucks to drive and bash!!

RE: Who are you??
Hello,
My name is Joe. I am 32 years old and live in Joliet, IL. I am married, no kids, couple cats, one dog (whose nickname is Lawsuit-In-A-Basket), and a few fish.
I've been into drag racing and motorcycle racing since I was 14. Currently I have a 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra (467 RWHP, 479 RWTQ) and an 05 Subaru STi (stock). No motorcycles at this point.
I am an Electrical Engineer and work for a systems integrator. I work in many different industries from secondary metals to roofing to paper making to printing. I design the control systems to handle the web transport side of the systems. Basically, anything that requires automation in any degree. My current market is car shredding. I have 7 car shredders I am designing the controls for. They range in horsepower from a messily 1500 HP up to 5000 HP single and multi motor design. Later this month, I am told, we should be getting a purchase order for a 10,000 HP single motor shredder. This will be the largest HP system I've ever worked on.
I was into RC about 20 years ago. I had an RC10 and an RC12. My Dad and I would go to the local racetrack and he'd let me race. After the long break I did my research and bought the CEN Genesis LE. So far I am enjoying the truck. I find myself getting a little impatient at times with all the maintenance and parts breakage I've had. Sometimes that's all the fun though...
I'd like to thank everyone on this site for being supportive and understanding of my “noobness”. I am here to learn and share as much info as possible!!
