This forum is for everyone and the questions posed by some, are in many ways unique. Not all inquiries are alike and I note that many repeated questions are referred to the War Room and FAQs section where many of the answers are to be found. I have read many replies that helped me diagnose or fix a small problem and have been , in my own smalll way, able to assist others. I have hands on expertise on many tanks and able and willing to lend the benefits of my experience. But on the other hand, I work/rebuild tanks which pose problems in acuracy which I am happy to find on this forum, a number of members very well versed in that particular tank and likewise, able and willing to share. I dislike all the Tam-HL bashing that tends to rear its' ugly head, but that also gets cleared up on its own. I now have 33 RC tanks and only two (2) are Tamiya. Personally, I like my HL tanks and with the proper upgrades, they run very well @ less than half the price. Any model needs improvement over the Chinese designs that go into them, and this forum is great in that respect as well as reading neat "how to's" on redesigning or converting to a different model. I have been modelling for many years and for 6 yrs professionally for a military museum, BUT, I admire and learn something new all the time from others on this forum and am always picking up tips and shortcuts. Lets keep the forum the way it is and if there are newbee posts that are not in accordance with your level of acceptance, then simply skip over and go to something interesting [>:]
