I know he fell in cold war with some members but I miss dr. robotnik. And Terry-sc; not the easiest for me to get along with but an information wonder. It sometimes appeared as if he was specialised intracing anything however obscure in shortest time possible.
Sinergy.. or is he still around :?:

Brian the yok'king is still around but we need more posts from him :lol:

Synergy drops by every now and then and I miss Dr. Robotnik posts but he hasn't been here in a year the last time I looked so let's hope he achieved his goal of a doctorate degree and has moved on to bigger and better things, but he sure did have some great stuff.

that is a great point Justinspeed. Kinda the thing that happens with people and forums. A hotspot that I used to be on all the time was ANTR(AffordableNitroTechRacing) until Dan(the owner got busy with life and kinda stopped coming by then it slipped by until awhile later found out he died at an early age. And another forum was CrescenziRacing's rc10gt/2 board but then life kinda caught up with him and he stopped coming by his own board and shut down shop. Hope to see some of the guys come back now and then...

LM? You guys are everywhere.
I live in the town over from Owego NY, the lockheed facility that was doing the presidential helicopter that got axed. Tons of LM folks in my neighborhood, they really keep this small town running.

I haven't been to the GT forum in months, a lot of good info there if you can sort through it. But a lot of those people who helped me when I was getting back into RC's are here too, Todd and Justinspeed, a few others I think too.

That was the US101 helo, right? The company I work for designs aircraft hangar doors and I was the project manager for several doors on an LM facility in Owego a few years ago.

I think he still does. I see him occasionally at the lhs and local events. He needs to update his website in a major way.

I check back in once in awhile. Still lookin for the CR products to keep the maintenance up on my gts. Was tryin to get Mel to come over here to see if he'd be interested in doing some 'boxart' paints :D .

I think me and Todd are the only people still posting on the GT forum lol.... I miss that forum. I keep hoping it will pick back up, but I think it's highly unlikely at this point. It pretty much died right along side of gas truck racing. Two of my favorite parts of the hobby, gone.... :(

I haven't talked to Dave in forever. I have tried to call him several times, but I can never get through. I miss talking to him, we used to spend hours at a time on the phone talking RC's. I usually don't like to talk on the phone for more than 30 seconds at a time, but for some reason when I got on the phone with him 3-4 hours would go by in the blink of an eye. I hope he's doing good, and I too wish I could get my hands on some more Crescenzi Racing parts.

I was on ANTR too, but not very active there. It was sad to hear about Nitro Dan. He was a really nice guy, and a great ambassador to our hobby.
