RC CRAWLER gone?

[jjbigfly]

Did the site go away? I can hang around here I guess....

 

[HPIguy]

Possibly, although this same thing happened recently and it came back. We shall see.

 

[Doom!]

Says site suspended, maybe didn't pay a bill?

 

[Chubaka]

Could use the way back machine to find some things on there.

As HPI said, it's happened over there before.
The people or company that owns it is very uninvolved from what I recall.

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

forums are on there way out.
there was a socalrc,, rcshortcourse, shortcourserc, rcnightmare, ultimaterc, that monster truck one i can't remember the name of. that one that merged with rcuniverse (ok that ones a stretch it was over 20 years ago) pretty much every RC magazine that's existed in the last 30 years has had a forum. all gone.

Yep, sadly that's the case from what I understand. I don't even remember how I found the place a LONG time ago, and built up my first TLT axled crawler. Really hoping it comes back again.

Yep, I keep hearing that social media is where everyone goes now. Good luck searching Fakebook for a how to on most anything for a niche of the RC hobby. I don't hate social media, but forums are still a very valuable tool at our disposal, for now.

It sucks because forums have so much more information than facebook groups, but facebook pretty much killed the forums

I'd rather not use anything than use Facebook lol

I must be a dinosaur.
Other than a link landing me on something like a restaurants page, I've never been on Facebook in my life.

I'm getting the same error message too. Most interesting Yeah I kinda settled in here too somewhere at an earlier time someone said go over to rccrawler...they really know their stuff over there... And I'd like to believe that's right.
However:
I tried to create an account and I think I've got a login somewhere. I never got any verification email or any further correspondence really. I wonder if my password is wrote down anywhere? Good luck getting it reset if it isn't
I looked multiple times for a search feature. Must have missed it somewhere or had to be logged in.
Can't go there on my phone browser for some reason.
When I browsed on the newest messages seemed like a bunch that didn't suffer fools well. I was somewhat intimidated to post.

I'd say that the admin and then the help staff plays a big partthis place seems alive and well and welcoming...! Might be a bit different crowd that's not quite as focused on just crawlers but I've since got the itch to get a plane or a speed runner of some kind now too it's a crowd of enablers here

I bet quite a few of us crossed paths before and never knew it.

Is ECX Forum still alive?

I think it's slow there. Approaching dead. Ecx is no longer.

Yeah, I encountered that issue when they discontinued the 1/18 ECX Ruckus. Their famous plastic diff soup materialized in both of my diffs, turning it from 4WD into no wheel drive. There wasn't a lot of parts available, and the ones that were still in the package were too expensive. I'm getting an ARRMA Outcast 4S this summer, but I don't currently have any running cars.

 

[jjbigfly]

Well, I will hang out here I guess.
