Hi all. I'm new to this realm of the hobby. I'm 61 years old. I've been into dirt R/C and also into indoor auto racing R/C. I have been out of all of it for a few years. I was thinking about building an aircraft but then happened on this site with all the truckers.
I was an over-the-road trucker back in the 80's & 90's. Traveled over the western part of the USA for Tiger Lines Trucking.
After seeing all the great looking trucks on this and other sites I thought, "Why Not!"
So here I am. Not sure what I'm going to build yet. My old truck was a single axle Peterbilt with a nice sleeper and I pulled a set of doubles. I called my truck "Double Trouble".
Not only because I pulled double pups all the time but I also have 2 daughters that were growing up at the time.
So hope to meet a few of you.
Pretty sure I'm going to have a go at building my old truck. Nice to meet you all.

You know of any R/C truck clubs in CA? Seems it's pretty big in the UK. Be nice if there were more on this side of the pond.

We have the West Coast Mini Truckers. It's listed in the 'Clubs' section of the forum.

With some time, we should be more organized.
