Hello from TX, USA
Posted: Mon 7. Jan 2013 03:46
Good evening to some and good day to others (depending on when you read my greetings!).
My name is Abi Leon and I live in central Texas, USA. Just north east of the city of San Antonio.
I recall, as many here can I'm sure, catching a post on another slot forum about mag-racing back in December 2010 and thinking 'oh...well isn't that neat.' Not long after, due to some financial crunch I had to sell off 95% of my slot collection and all of my track. A while later, I got into XMODS and Mini-Z's and spent a good sum of $ hopping those cars up as well. And as with anything there's plenty to nay say about any hobby. I love slots and I love the freedom and insane detail of RC's.
And so, I took a couple days to read every post in that particular thread, and allow me to opine here as well, 'MagRacing is fantastic!' For me it seems the right balance of R/C, slots and scale realism. Good on ya' WesR for actually doing what many only dream to do one day and that is follow through with such a great idea and eventual venture! And to some of the elder slot-car cats pioneering this for us in the US thanks for blazing the trail. Your diligence has helped me out quite a bit.
Having stated that, I can't wait 'til I free up some other toys [read: sell] and get on MagRacing ASAP. I have a Back to the Future Delorean body I'd love to mod one of these chassis for! And that's the thing I love about these kind of scale racing hobbies, in the end we mod to our hearts content. I don't know how much vested research Wes has into the fine tuning of the cars such as accessories or suspension but I can't wait to have have fun finding out myself and sharing the knowledge with others. What a great start of a great future.
