What's your brushless street cred?

[BrianG]

Ugg, I'm such an obvious newbie!

• BL Revo V1: Stock chassis, emaxx tranny (single speed), 8XL, BK 20120, 14xGP3300 cells. Spektrum DX3. Now mostly parted out and sold. Only the tranny and slipper left, which I'm not sure I want to part with.
• BL Revo V2: Stock chassis, stock tranny (locked 2nd gear), 10XL, Quark 125B, 14xGP3300 cells (same ones as above actually), Spektrum DX3.
• BL Jato: Mamba Max 4600 system, 2s2p emoli, Spektrum DX3.
• HoBao Hyper 8 (not nearly done): Motor ??, ESC ??, batts ??, Spektrum DX3.

I'm old as dirt, I had to look up "street cred" in my urban slang dictionary! I'm 42 and I have my first BL truck with a full Gorilla setup, UE diffs, CVD's and Supershocks. Running the show is a Quark 125 with a 7XL Feigao. Better late in life than never!

Ok, I don't feel so bad now at 33 years old. I'd probably still just have my first truck if they weren't so darn fun and challenging to build! :)

34 and loosing count.
I always blamed being lazy on being from generation X now I guess I can blame it for my brushless addiction too.:027:

Emaxx: Quark 125b & 7XL (racer)
Mini LST: Mamba 25 & 8000kw
Emaxx: in progress MM & 8XL (basher)
Jammin CRT: future brushless convert
And enough parts to make my spare room look like a hobby shop exploded:035:

LOL! I'm 30 and just trying to sound cool! :cool:

Promod, 10~15 e-maxxes, plus all the others? WOW! I just got into the hobby about 1.5 years ago when I saw my friend's Stampede. As soon as I saw it I had to get one myself. I think that Stampedes and Rustlers are gateway drugs!

That I think you are correct on that one. I feel like 90 percent of RC addicts all just picked up a rustler or pede cuz it was cheap and looked fun. Then... Well we all know what happens next.

I think this is the oldest rc forum on the net. Most other places are a bunch of 14 year olds. BTW, I'm 37, but still 14 at heart.:018:

I guess I'm in the 10% then since I started with the Revo. However, I plan on getting my son a Stampede for Christmas so we can both go have fun. (Actually, when I get it, I'm going to take it all apart to make it a "kit" so we can assemble it together).

Heh, my first real RC was a Rustler...

I'm not all that old yet :018:. But I'm not 14 either... 17 is the lucky number.

I don't feel so bad at 36 and still playing with toys.

If rustlers and stampedes are gateway drugs for rc, the novak brushless is gateway for brushless.

My previous post was the progression of 6 months, been reading and learning since the late '90s , but finally took the plunge this year

True. GTB was my first. I didn't mind the sensors, but didn't like the 6 cell limit.
