titive and have in turn driven away many newcomers . . . this is not the direction our hobby/sport should be headed. Radio Controlled racing has been around since the sixties when peace and love were the foundation of this fantastic hobby/sport. Competition is good for everything(when in moderation); just look at Wal-Mart and Kent’s for example. Intimidation is not a good thing however, and if we are not careful we’ll drive away hoards of enthusiasts looking for something to do, something to belong to. We need all the participants we can get, the more the merrier. So the next time that kid from across the street is looking at your TC or MT, offer him the wheel, you will have made a difference. I love all aspects of R/C and all the different vehicles in it, but just for the record My ClodBuster will rip anything apart. I’m very partial towards Monster Trucks, how can you not after you see it chip cement off the curb. Sweet....
