The beginning:

I started with RC Cars about 20 years ago. Popular Models at that time included the Tamiya Monster Beetle and other today vintage cars from that time. I rediscovered the fun about RC Cars some 5 years ago when some of my friends wanted to buy a nitro racer (Hype Zircon) to have fun on our local racetrack at Sundays. The Zirkon I have bought at that time lasted 4 years until the chassis gave up. I started to build my own collection of RC Cars from large scale models such as the HPI Baja to small scale models such as the Traxxas E-Revo VXL.
