The goal of the site is primarily to keep the information flowing so new and current customers have an effective means of getting answers to the questions they have. It is also a friendly place to chat about r/c(General discussion) and a place where I can show my support and dedication to the hobby to build trust, help those in need, and hopefully, build sales through this trust and dedication!

The buy/sell/trade topic has been brought up before, but I prefer to keep the site a bit more focused on support, information and the fun of the hobby. We have a great forum here(at least I think so), with many excellent, helpful and well knowing members with a great, helpful attitude. Also, the members here are into the hobby, into brushless(many), into r/c in general and are here to share ideas and information. I am not convinced that a buy/sell/trade area would truly be a positive thing, as it would likely bring along folks just looking to sell vs. being here for the long term, using the forum as the vehicle it is-support, fun, information, ideas, knowledge etc.. If a member has a few posts and is an active participant in the forums and they have an item to list for sale, I allow this to a degree in the General discussion area(though I only want to see a listing of the items, with pricing and other info shared through the private message system).

These are my thoughts on the b/s/t forum. I hope all the members can understand and appreciate my position on this. Sorry for the long winded post. :)
