Get in touch with the nearest club to your area. Decide what format you are interested in and what is available nearest.
I'm pretty sure that the closest active battler is about 2.5 hours from you in Massachusetts. The closest battles are in upstate NY, about 4.5 hours away. Unfortunately those distances can be typical for this hobby, but still a lot of people find it well worth it. The IRCWCC (fast gun) is the main show in town in the northeast. Can you provide a little background about yourself, such as hobby/building/rc experience, how you found it, and your goals/intentions (i.e. when are you hoping to battle, are you interested in traveling those distances)? This site has a lot of useful information, and many good captains willing to help, welcome aboard
