  1. When I get some free time, I am going to go to one of the local tracks and see what everyone is running. Maybe see if the track has a rental vehicle so I can try it out.
  2. There are going to be a lot of quality vehicles destroyed when this is all said and done. Some folks ignore the early warnings and have to move out quickly, I fear some pets and farm animals are getting left behind.
  3. YouTube videos can be monetized and a long unboxing, before getting to the meat of the video, can get you to the much coveted second ad slot. I feel some folks start out with good intentions when posting videos, but quickly learn how to work/maximize the system.
  4. I am sure there is an imaginary line somewhere that designates the point where anyone South does not put snow removal in their budget. We got 11" Monday and are expecting another 3" tonight. It is the melting and freezing after that causes issues here.
  5. We are a well polished machine. Sometimes, we have no idea what causes the issues. It could be a simple string of characters that triggers a red flag on any of numerous pieces of equipment the zeros and ones passes through. Could be something that just simply causes the function to time out and the page not found could be the software's default message.
  6. I also ran Serpents, I have some (actual) photos somewhere.
  7. I see the question mark too. Hopefully Dave will be able to look into this and come up with a solution.
  8. I flagged this for Tech Support (Dave). Could be on our end or it could be an issue with Apple. Can you link a post so i can see if it shows the same for me?
  9. I have been thinking about getting back into racing RC cars. Looks like the 1/8 scale on-Road nitro racing that I used to do is all but dead, as does most On-Road racing in this area. Never raced Off-Road, but there are some tracks in the area, indoor and outdoor dirt. Looking for advice on what to get, starting over from scratch and will be running electric. What kit, radio, motor, etc would you recommended. Not a beginner, so willing to get decent gear. I know I will get a variety of answers, but will also be doing some research based on those answers. Thanks.
  10. That is oddly satisfying.
  11. I am not part of the magazine staff, but my personal opinion is that they should not make any posts of when the magazine is going to the printer or being mailed. I like being surprised when it shows up. Give people information they will use it for good and evil. We do allow criticism of the magazine here, which I also don’t think we should do, but some take it to far and do it too often. It is kind of like trolling, which is against the forum rules.
  12. Since the update, all of my notifications have been going to my spam folder.
  13. I flagged this for Dave to look at.
  14. The subscription is for the number of issues, not the timeframe. They do try to get the magazine out bi-monthly, or as close as possible. We expect to get posts like this every 8-10 weeks.
  15. Please remember that we have a separate section for car show and museum photos. This thread is for cars you see out in the wild.
  16. That is awesome! I got to see an old chain driven Mack up close about 35 years ago. It was a restored fire truck in New Jersey (I think it was in Edison). I just like the old stuff more than the new stuff.
  17. Unfortunately, if you mention EV this is what we always get here. EV will be semi-normal in about a decade, just when the hydrogen fuel cell cars start to really hit the market. I guess then we will complain about the roads always being damp.
  18. I removed the post that was hijacking the thread. Please remember not to post a bunch of your own photos in someone else's thread, unless they ask for them. You can always send the member a direct message if you want to share your build with them. You can also start your own thread, we always like to see the new content, in the appropriate place.
  19. There is probably a legitimate reason for the ban and unfortunately the model paint industry and it's likely less than 1% market share are caught up in it. Until it it gets worked out, you can always go back to brush painting. Just a reminder to not make political statements about this. You won't have anything to do on your 30 day ban, since you can't spray any models.
  20. This will be the one and only warning for this thread. Be VERY careful with how you word your opinion/comment. All the other EV threads seem to turn political or heated very soon after they are started. Members have been given 30 day vacations over their EV comments.
  21. I couldn't find one on the user level. Not sure if there is one on the server side. If there is, I would think it is global and would be in place for everyone. Dave may have some more insight on this.
  22. One of my old bosses has several, but I don't think he has a blue one.
  23. Lets throw this off on a different tangent. I wonder how often these companies change their formulas without telling the consumers that they did so. I would guess that the EPA has gotten involved with aerosol paint once or twice in the last 50 years and mandated 'safer' components.
  24. Even though it says 2-Years 12 issues, you are paying for the number of issues, not the time limit. You would get 12 issues whether it took 12 weeks, 12 months, 24 months or 30 months.
  25. Good luck with the magazine Scott.
