I've never seen a semi or construction vehicle, or even kit / accessory in a hobby shop. I only learned about them on a scale rock crawler site, and an old RC book i bought had a build on a tamiya semi.

There's NO exposure unless you're already into rc and looking to branch out. A couple of the 'big' rc channels on youtube have built one, but otherwise unless they know where to look, nobody really knows you're here.

There are the big shows around the country, that get couple thousand visitors. Which don't usually get much advertising to people who didn't already know it was there...

i'm in Indy, been into hobby rc since 2003. I first heard about there even being an indy show sometime at the 'adams mark near the airport' back around maybe 08, and finally made it to one in 16 because nobody shares info or tries to hype it up. Other than here, trying to even find a name for the show to search for was like pulling teeth.
