Another New Guy
Glad I found this place. You guys have done some amazing trucks. I've been running RC off roads for awhile now, so I'm not necessarily new to the RC game, though I always want to build and recently built my first truck, a King Hauler. I'm keen to build my own fleet now. LOL
as a little background, My old man is a driver and has been for almost 40 years now. I'm a former active duty Marine of 11 years. Now I'm just a Fedex guy, though I've been off the past year because of a crushed disc and had spinal surgery and fusion not long ago to repair it, so I've had time for builds. LOL and a shot of my Snowman build. Last edited by RMarine; 03-19-2014 at 12:32 PM. |

Re: Another New Guy
Welcome to the forum! That's a nice looking ride, especially for a first time build. I've found this site to be a great place for sharing information and having fun with others of the same hobby interest. Glad you found it.

Re: Another New Guy
Thanks! Definitely glad to be here. I definitely appreciate the compliment. I built models growing up, so was used to doing some paint work (though I'm still working on a second body to try and get it perfect) but always wanted to build an rc rig. I've had a ton of fun with it so far!
I'm still looking around trying to find some RC trucker get togethers up in my area. ( I'm up near Everett Wa. btw, still need to update my profile. lol) |

Re: Another New Guy
Thanks again guys! I appreciate the warm welcome!
Ekim, not officially retired as I got out after 11 years due to injuries. I made it through two deployments to Afghanistan just fine but got injured during a training exercise, which ended my career. I've been out since 07' now. I actually served on a few ships! I was on the USS Blue Ridge back in 97'. Also did a short stint on the Lincoln and with the 26th MEU in 1998-99. So I definitely have a spot for my shipmates. Rick |

Re: Another New Guy
Thanks again guys.
Always nice to see fellow service members. And glad to find a forum that deals in specifics for these types of builds. Can't wait to save up to do a few more of them. I have ideas, just have to see if I can get them to play out. LOL |
