Name: Squirrel
Age: 31
Ive been into RC since I was kid. My interest in the hobby changes constantly but building my own kits from scratch, altering them, painting, and everything creative always remains a constant. I run a forum called "thetoyz" which is a local Seattle store owned by a great friend of mine, RJ. It seems as if my niche in the hobby is 'how to's' and project threads and this passion has spilled into YouTube as a visual representation.
