Welcome to Sprite's RC world!

      This webpage is devoted to my experiences in the world of RC cars, and anything else that catches my interest. For now I have a couple of ZipZaps, a Team Associated T3, a Team Associated TC3, a Kyosho Mini-Z, and a Traxxas T-maxx. It is only recently that I got into the RC hobby scene. I happened to be at Radioshack and bought a ZZ. That began my real interest. I got an electric stadium truck and had a lot of fun with it. That was until I saw a T-maxx.

      It didn't take long before my father joined in, he got a few zip zaps, then the T3, and finally a T-Maxx. I also talked him into the impulse buy of the Kyosho Mini-Z. We've been running these cars together since we picked them up. For the most part we have been buying stuff in tandom. This hobby is the most fun when you have someone to run your cars with, either racing or just bashing. So far our favorite game has been "bucket".

Yes! I finally have my own domain name!

      The addiction has grown. Soon a helicopter will be in my collection. The big question is to go gas or electric. My first choice was the LMH Corona 120. This is a small electric helicopter that uses RC car motors and car battery packs. The only problem is that after putting in some time in Real Flight G2 I think I would outgrow the fixed pitch helicopters to quickly. Looking at collective pitched options doesn't turn up a whole lot of 30 sized options at a good price when compared to the entry level nitro helicoptors. Thunder Tiger's Raptor v2 has some excellent options at highly competitive prices. While no decision has been made the Raptor seems to be the T-maxx of helicoptors.

      This update has a few more little odds and ends. Some new pictures of my other cars and such. As soon as the wheather turns a bit warmer we will get some video while we play bucket and anything else we can think of that warrents it.

      Finally several sections are now finished! The T-Maxx section gives an account of the time I have spent with my T. The parts section gives a record of all the cash I've shelled out for it. More cars will be getting their own sections soon. We also have a movie showing a little bit of jumping action with both our maxxes.

      This is my newly revamped website. Free from Geocities! This site is here to show my newfound interest in RC cars. I'll put up info on my trucks and pics as I can. Perhaps I can even fit some video here too. For now the site is still far from finished, most of the sections besides parts are blank. My plans are to have pictures of all this stuff, and to sum up my thoughts and experiences. Beware! This site is in its alpha stage and will have spelling errors.

      I run my trucks with my father. He had so much fun driving mine around he bought his own. Since the weather is turning cold one club I've raced at has finished up for this year. There is still another one I need to check out once I build up my driving skills. As fun as racing is, I still prefer to mostly jush bash around the yard with my trucks.
