"I've always been fascinated with cars, and from an early age, I found myself drawn to remote and radio-controlled cars. My first R/C car was a remote-controlled Corvette (tethered) from New Bright. If I remember correctly, I had gotten it for my 5th birthday. It was a great car, and I have great memories of it. Those type of memories are what I want to have my children experience and keep with them as they grow. Up until 2012, I hadn't had a "true" hobby-grade R/C vehicle. That all changed with my purchase of a Traxxas Slash 4x4 and I can't wait to learn more about this hobby and help others along the way."
