HISTORY
Not a lot here. Been RC'ing for many years. In the distant past, late 80's, actually owned a small shop. Strictly cars, and primarily off road racing with focus on entry level and younger kids. We ran an off road race track every Sunday at local park so shop also catered to those who wanted performance mods.

This was a period when off road and track racing was taking off. Most of the tracks were highly competitive. We were the only track that catered to the kids and it didn't require a small fortune to participate. They could run their Grasshoppers and Hornets with a chance of winning. It was a lot of fun.

But like a lot of hobbies big budgets and simply money/commercial took the hobby over-I got out. Dont get me wrong, modifications, making it work better is seriously part of the hobby for me as several shelves representing more than a few paychecks attest to. But its an unending quest.

Many years later Rock crawlers become the interest, revitalizing the hobby and I picked up an Axial Ax10. Though I never got into 'comp' crawling had a lot of fun with friends or soloing at local rock pile. The AX10 went thru several changes. But as the 'market' drove friends into having the latest and greatest I finally got out, not going down that road again.

Well 2023 I drug out my 'Antique' AX10 Scorpion to play. Had a blast but realized, like some of my 90's 4WD race cars, if something breaks parts are hard to come by if at all.

Decided I really miss driving and wanted to pick up something new that parts easier to get. Looked at 18/24 scale which never appealed to me before. But you can get relatively inexpensive crawlers that work, small as far as transporting/ etc, parts cheaper. A whole different ball game compared to 1/10 scale. So that's where we are at...

Looking around stumbled across the FMS Atlas 6x6 ready to run. On a whim ordered. What a trip, thing is just fun watching it crawl. Its also a piece, stock parts not that plentiful after market almost non existent. But its fun enough to really get me fired back up and my addiction is in, well, restrained full swing again. One of the great benefits of 24th scale is how small an area is needed for some serious crawl time.

Trying to limit budget & mods my focus has turned more into scaling. But picked up a FMS FCX24 power wagon for driving (having a hard time keeping the 6x6 running). A lot of support for the FCX and not to expensive for parts & upgrades. Its fun. Likely also pick up an Axial SCX24 due to parts availability.

Anyway just adding this page to document...
