Kraton everyone's average age?

[dattoe]

I'm 73 and will be 74 in November. I started in RC at the ripe old age of 64.

There is hope for me , glad u enjoyed it then
ok it might not be the average age, but its defiantly a great age over 50 , and enjoying still being young

51 years old here. Got into this hobby early 2020 just before Covid. My daughter saw some 1/10 carpet racers on a model show. We bought a Slash Ultimate, then another one, then a Mojave, then i built another one. I guess i like this hobby too. Although for me the wrenching and seeing my daughter run the car turned out to be more fun to me than actually driving myself. I found myself searching the web for upgrade parts all the time. Had to slam the brakes on that. It was getting out of hand. I replaced every single plastic part of the drive train with metal. Ali Express and Jennys and Monsterhopups.de are my new LHS's.

59 1/2, not old enough to join the Geezer Brigade but getting there. I started when I was 40. It was a father, son, and daughter thing every weekend. They both own more trucks than me now. Funny how these things happen.

Minus 1 entry I don't trust the running total is 48.3

I'm 43 years young but have a 55 year old body and a brain of a 25yo.

 

[Sheed85]

37, but every time I get asked I have to actually think of the number. Give or take a year

Welcome to the forum John

Jeezuz, this post makes me feel young. Deciding not to have kids allows me to spend abour $3000-$5000 of dollars on RC every year and about $20,000 total on hobbies. Most adult hobbies are prohibitively expensive. Even my Warhammer 40K I spend about a grand a year on for paints, painting gear, models, boards, travel to tournaments. Hockey, snowmobiling, backpacking, traveling etc. A big thanks to politicians that made recreational marijuana legal on the west coast who made all of this possible. I have family run the farm and shop while I never have to work. I recommend it
