Currently this forum cost about $500/yr as is to keep it turned on... buying more and more photo storage could easily surpass 10x that in short order, it's just too expensive to be a consideration... so many ppl left 3yrs ago when photobucket change their user policy from free to subscription... screwed up the forum big time with many missing photos.

A lot of the ppl that started this place 10yrs ago are either not in the hobby anymore or doing a lot of less of it. What's on FaceBook is many newcomers looking info on the cheapest rcs available. Those that would be considered veterans there are all buying china rcs & spending their time discussing where to buy, how to fix 'em... not much for scratch builders of construction equip there other than 3D printed parts & electric drive.

Plus it's summer time, why are you not outside?

Why I'm not outside.............the short answer, my Governor is an IDIOT! We're still on lockdown, & are not allowed ot have our club gatherings. It's more fun when the whole club gets together! We are able to have small gatherings, but can't get the whole club together, as that isn't allowed..............yet! HOPEFULLY soon, we can get together again!
