Boom:

Welcome to the Builder of the Month! Can you tell us about yourself and how you got into the hobby?

Timothy:

Hello, I am Tim from AZ. I am a semi-retired painter. I have a couple more years in the workforce, and then I can enjoy all my hobbies full-time. I got started with my RC obsession from a friend who introduced me to the RC world. That was Father's Day of 2019. So big thank you to RC Junky. After the building of my first RC, I was hooked. 

Boom:

How did you discover Boom Racing?

Timothy:

After several builds, I was looking for more of a challenge and that is when I discovered Boom Racing and found Shawn Roche on Youtube with his BRX01. 

Boom:

Can you tell us about your Boom Racing vehicles?

Timothy:

I had ordered and built the BRX01. While out crawling at the Superstition Mountains, I met Shawn. I recognized him from the video and his floppy hat. He was testing his BRX02, and I stopped to talk with him about the truck. As soon as they were available, I ordered one and received #03. From there on, I purchased BRX01 Limited Edition #02. Then a BRX02 6x6; wow, what a 2022. I saw Shawn out again while testing the series of trucks. When I saw the 88, I had to have it. The wait was long but well worth it. In January of 2024, I received the BRX Series III 88. 

Boom:

Are there any future Boom Racing builds you are planning?

Timothy:

There are always plans for future builds. Excited to see what comes out this year. In the future, I might have to get my hands on a 109 to build. Do need it in my collection! Excited to see what comes out next!!

Boom:

Where do you draw your inspiration from when you are building?

Timothy:

My inspiration comes from a lot of the veterans in the hobby. I see so much creativity and talent which inspires me to do my best on my builds.

Boom:

What is the RC community like in the area you live? 

Timothy:

The RC community out here in Arizona is booming. We have the weather and terrain to enjoy the hobby year-round.

Boom:

What cars or upgrades do you hope to see Boom Racing make next?

Timothy:

I hope to see more classic builds for future Boom Racing builds, such as a 1950s Willys Pickup truck, Chevy pickup truck, or even Ford. 

Boom:

Do you have any tips or advice for others in the hobby?

Timothy:

My advise is to take your time. Follow instructions and let your imagination go. 

Enjoy Being a BADASS I do!
