I'll be there at least Saturday. If so maybe we need a RC10talk meet up at the beer counter.

I might be, but I'm not sure yet. Has been an overwhelming let down the last few times I have gone.

Anyone special going to be in attendance this year. I think last year Gil Losi Jr and Joel Johnson were there but how did they know Gil Jr. would be there in order to bring a wing for him to autograph (a previous thread from last year). I'm going on the 21st as I've got a buyers pass from a friend. I don't expect much the only other time I went was either the late 80's or early 90's and it was unreal, couldn't possibly be as good as it was back then.

I may try to go as well. I've missed the last few years (including when it was moved to Cali, ha!).

I went last year! It sucked for rc!

RCX is a much better show!

For hobby shops only, the NRHSA table top in Vagas is the best!

It was indeed huge in the glory years, the hobby shop I worked for uses to set up a booth.

AKA is lisyed as a vendor so Gil Losi Jr. should be there, I will have something like a JRX2 Chassis with me to sign, just in case.
