Is this hobby dying in the US?

I've been dreaming of buying RC construction equipment for along time. I finally bought 2 construction equipments recently mainly because the euro is almost par with the dollar. Its a great time for us to buy stuff from Europe. The problem is we are so spread out here. I don't know anyone else that has RC construction equipment in California.
And the other observation I noticed was that in Europe they are more interested in moving dirt (construction trucks, equipments, dump trucks etc.) While in US we are more into trailer trucks for long hauling? Europe now has 3 indoor locations dedicated for RC construction equipments.
