Re: Is this hobby dying in the US?
Tommy R - you might be closer to the root issue about our hobby than you think.
When I ordered my first truck, the local shop guy gave me a funny look and said what's this?. Once it came in he said after 25 yes in the hobby and running a shop for most of them he didn't know of these trucks. Said he wouldn't be of much help with them as well.
I did take my truck back over to show it to him, but he had no interest so I didn't go any further.
He has no idea about all the construction stuff and neither does any of the other guys.
I guess a father or uncle could take interest in our stuff, while the kids are wrapped up in going fast.
