Hey everyone, myself Nikhil and I'm into rc, mostly racing. I'm doing Automotive Engg from Univ of Windsor, Windsor,ON, Canada.
I have owned lots of rc since I got into it 4yrs ago. I have raced in Nationals and my racing number is 96x.
Sponsers: JRS Hobbies (main), Protoform, Thunder Tiger, Traxxas Canada (partial)

It started with xmods and got really hooked up, then I bought Traxxas Rustlers (both nitro and electric). Then I upgraded from xmods to HPI Micro RS4 on which I learnt to drift. I got so much into drifting that I bought the Yokomo MR4 drift cars, directly imported from Japan. The best drift cars ever. I bought both nitro and electric version, but soon sold the nitro one and went on to excel in drifting with Yokomo MR4TC SD-CM. I used to drift at night in my univ's parking lot.

Since I live near detriot river and there are lots of rocks, I got Axial Rock crawler (kit version) and used to crawl on weekends with it.

And then I started racing in events.I bought Team associted RC18T factory team edition and then another one with Exotek Carbon Fiber conversion and brushless. I sold the factory team one and right now own the Exotek RC18t and its wicked fast.

I was recently gifted Traxxas Slash by Traxxas Canada for coming second with E-Revo. (Im kinda sponsered by Traxxas too, except I'm only sponsored for discounts on spares and kits and testing)
Since summer is gone, I currently race on-roads. I don't race in touring class now and I love VTA class and race Xray FK05 with Cuda body in this class. I also race in Mini class with Tamiya M03-R chassis with Swift body.
