With the advent of truggy, even the best MAxx stuff like the VBS, RacerX are easily outperformed.
Traxxas forums was always a place for children to ask questions about their new toys -there's nothing wrong with that- but at least Traxxas lets in new members, RCM only does that once in a while. I don't compare the two forums (different target audiences).
Even that Losi 5ive with a sick twin MGM power system posted in the Brushless section of RCM is just plain boring. Maybe it's fun to drive, but it's really nothing new, innovative or worth talking about more than saying "that's sick"...it's nothing more than somebody willing to put more of his/her paycheck into toys than the rest of us.
I wonder what will spark this hobby up again...for me at least.

Very good points. I will try my best to make some off the wall stuff to get interest up. I also plan to do some how-to threads on beefing up some of the traxxas rtr brushless rides, complete with one off parts. The homebuilt stuff was always the coolest to me. Just seeing the lengths members went to to make a maxx bulletproof was worth trolling this forum endlessly. And Neil's wit, is he still alive?
I try to make my posts a little more lively (like Harold when he thinks you are interested in him for more than just his body) so possibly they are worth reading.

It will be hard to top Shaun's creation, that is for sure. I could show you guys some of the rc ideas I have for home security, but I would hate someone to run with my ideas and hurt themselves. Until cheap integrated facial recognition becomes mainstream I will just work on the hardware.
