my dad always had rc planes and a mate of his brought a tamiya striker and a tamiya holiday buggy back from japan for him in the early 80's, so messed around with them (still have the striker

), wasn't until i moved to york from london that i finally got into it properly and found out there was a club in york, so at the age of 29 i bought a kyosho outrage and raced 540 class,im almost 41 and its a sport you never grow tired of
