Hello from another kiwi
 

Hi guys!

Stumbled across this site as I always wondered if there was a proper forum out there for people interested in rc tractor trucks and associated equipment. Well looks like I have found a new home!

All I have to say after spending the last week viewing this forum is MY GOODNESS you lot have got some talent! I am in awe at the scratch building skills of a lot of you. Just WOW!

I currently own approx 30 rc's, with two of them being tamiya 18 wheelers.

I am looking forward to my time here, hoping to learn a lot from you all and progress my skills, and also seeing more of what you guys come up with!

Brief bio:
I'm Neil and I work in the construction industry as a machine operator, cutting my teeth on everything from excavators, skid steers, loaders, rollers and pavers etc.

And onto my tractors:

Although relatively stockish (certainly by the standards here!),
both units have the MF control units installed, motorised legs, rc4wd 55t motors, trailer lights, and some custom little touches here and there.

Enjoy and any advice or feedback appreciated :)
