Hello from Boonville!
Hi, my name is Rob, and I live in Boonville, IN.
I'm a retired Alcoa electrical engineer and have had many hobbies over the years. My main experience with RC goes back to 2009 when I got into scale helicopters. It didn't take me too much time to figure out they were just automatic revenue generators for the parts suppliers. I'm currently in the process of a body off restoration of a 1973 corvette. I went to the Toy Trucking show in Indy last August looking for Tonka truck parts, and saw one of the conference centers filled with RC trucks. I was unaware of these 1/14 scale trucks, and had never seen anything like it before. I'm not even sure if I felt the hook enter my mouth! In a nutshell, I'm here to learn more about this hobby, and possibly buy a used truck. Rob |

Hello Rob,
Welcome to the forum. I totally understand you not feeling the hook being set. And I didn't even go to one of the many shows around the USA for these wonders. I have been contiplating on selling my build. It is a bone stock King Hauler. I have added lights and gotten a sound board. I can not get the sound board to work. Look around on the different threads here and you will see some amazing work being done. The good folks on here are eager to help you in any way they can with technical info and parts if necessary. The more I looked the more I realized that "the sky is the limit" , right after what my wallet will allow. Have fun here and don't be afraid to post up some pics when you do get one and show us what you are doing to it. Later, Rodger |

Welcome to the forum Rob. Although truck and equipment models can be just as expensive as (or more) then heli models they crash a whole lot less ;)

Re: Hello from Boonville!
Rodger,
I see you're from somewhere north of Chattanooga. Both of my daughters lived in that area. One was in Athens, the other in Decatur. both have moved back to California, but we had some great times in Tennessee. Quote:

Dave, it was great talking to you, and I look forward to getting together.

Re: Hello from Boonville!
Rob, welcome to the forum. I haven't yet met Dave at Evansville but perhaps we can all get together sometime. I live near English, so about an hour from downtown Evansville. I'm new to RC but have found a very welcoming and sharing group on this site and got to meet several at Indy this year. I'll send a PM with phone info.

Ken,
I can say this forum has the most welcoming feel of any I've been on over the years! I'm really looking forward to meeting or chatting with others. Maybe we can uncover some more local "truck junkies" in my area. Quote:
I've sent you a PM with my contact info. Rob |
