Thread repair

Post by marlo »

Hello to all, it's been awhile. Before I get into anything, I will be doing my best to put back together the "history of the rc10t". I doubt I still can remember all the fine details though... While the damage does appear to be on my end, it was not me who did this, and may have a theory as how this may have happened. But I'm not sure. I'm just walking into this, and need to look everything over. For those who don't know me, my name is Marlo, and for those who do, please give me the benefit of doubt. I'll talk more about this as it unfolds, to those that want to listen.

Thank you guys very much! I'm going over all pics I have saved, I still have some, and sadly some I dont. I have good pics of early 7001, and late 7011, manuals and stuff. That thread seems to be a mess. I... understandably cannot edit posts to add pics. may need some help getting back in there.... or I can just send someone everything I have......... I had a well rounded collection of all, but one.... The very first very early 7001. The only one i remember having one was Reg. I made a big move a couple thousand miles away, and now live in NFLD. we down sized our home, no longer do we have extra rooms to display stuff like that. At first my plan was to part with one, maybe three trucks.."thin the line". As such, when one goes, the rest followed. I was made a all in one offer for the lot, and took it. I do miss them, and wish I still had them, but I dont. So, lets get the history of the best truck ever built back on track, or at the very least, try!! :wink:

Reggie left quite a while back. Several long timers have disappeared and a few somehow deleted all their pics on the way out which is why the posts are locked now. I think Lowgear can unlock it for you. Good to have you back buddy. I miss the hunting for screws with one dot and such :mrgreen:

Ok, more of a rant post, probley not called for, but... Some comments in the chat section may, or may not have been geared towards my direction. Here's the deal guy's. When I moved here, at that time, my brother in-law was dating a women with a son. He showed interest in the RC hobby. I had shown him this forum, gave him access to my account. What happened next was, well fantastic... I had no idea what damage was done, until one day I logged in. This boy, is a real piece of work on a good day, not saying it was his fault.... It all solely falls on me. If the public wishes me being blocked that's fine, or maybe posts are geared towards others, don't know. I'm trying to fix that thread, time is a factor, I do still have pic's to upload... But whatever, it is what it is.

It wasn't aimed at you, but rather at a certain other poster who ragequit at a certain point and replaced all of the text in their posts with a single dot, rendering certain threads in the Kyosho section (and probably also the Tamiya section) unreadable.

...I think I need this smiley for you: :D and this one for the other poster's posts: :cry:

Yeah, that definitely didn't have anything to do with you, marlo. We all look forward to you fixing up the RC10T history thread whenever you get the opportunity. :)
