    Hello everyone,
    My handle is Smitty.
    I'm new to the hobby this year.
    I originally started with a RTF Super Cub and found out immediately my limitations.
    Sold it and got a Slash 4x4 RTR.
    I'm wheelchair able so ground based vehicles are better suited for me.

    Several of my neighbors are into line control & RC aircraft model building.
    I kinda started the short course truck trend here in the neighborhood.
    We how have six and our own bashing course... Over-the-Hill... raceway.

    here's my mugshot.

    Does it have anything to do with the way you spell your handle?  wOOd

    The most likely options are:
    • Common Last Name
    • Same Age or Date of Birth
    • Simular mobility mode

    If it's none of these I'll have to give.

    Well were close in age but that's not what I'm thinking

    And if you knew my last name and after ya stopped laughing you would certainly see that can't what we have in common

    But I am thinking your third choice hit's the nail dead square

    My comfy chair is also mobile, {LOL} challenge ya to a down-hill race

    {Meh} I'm getting too old for any up-hill racing nonsense or too lazy, can't decide which ...

    My primary wheels are a Kuschall Fusion lightweight manual.
    Simular to this one. (minus the arm rests and push handles)

    My secondary wheels are a 3 wheeled pride scooter that I use to climb the hill that I live on.
    I'm looking to get a power chair sometime soon and have already had a lift installed in our Honda Odessey.

    Your scooter my beat me in a race as I have both a manual and power chair. The powered does alright in rough country as long as it's dry, in the mud not so well given it's a heavy monster. Friends and family and tiny tots know better to keep away from it
