Howdy bitPIMPS,last night I joined half asleep and even failed to introduce my RC infected self.

I started seriously in RC in 1988,at that time I purchased a Tamiya Grasshopper.My first true hobby class RC.Then things turned to a sickness when all my extra money was sinking into hopups and other buggies and trucks.Ended up with a Tamiya Clod,Bruiser,Lunch Box plus a Kyosho Optima and Ultima buggies.Also added was a Team Associated RC10 buggy,one of my fave buggies.My pride and joy was the Yokomo YZ10,with a Reedy mod motor.Stopped in 1992 when work took too much of my time.

Then the bug bit in December 2004 when I purchased a Trinity IBS,and from then on it went overboard.Twenty six RC cars/trucks and buggies later in Jan 2006 I find bitPIMPS and start on a micro rampage.

I go under NitroFumes on rother forums

Now a few more pics of my ...collection

The ubber advanced Tamiya Fighter Buggy...

With a little boost from a Orion 15turn double,Duratrax 12T ESC...a throwback to the oldies in the feel

And now a Duratrax Evader St Pro,stadium racing truck

Man, it kills me to look at 1/10th scale stuff, I miss my old cars.

When I got my Stampede, it was the new kid on the block. Everyplace sold hopups for the Blackfoot. Now there's a buttload of after market parts out there for the Stampede.

Sorry, that E-Maxx got me a litle jealous.
