Thanks! Is your first name Alan?
Very specific location...your house, or a local bashing spot?
I pinned the spot, with your first name as Alan. I can always change it if needed. Tried my best to get that spot, I may be IRL a mile or two off.
Thanks Charlie! Check the map now, sorry if I dropped a huge blue pin on your house!

The last 3 people you tagged already joined, and John (@johnnydmd) just joined! Yeah, everybody, pull in other members too! An easy way to check if someone is already on the map is go to the map (https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1mL8ywHnLqzLdKie4j6paDYy7cyf45nbb&ll=-0.03244952261459133,0&z=2), and see if their username is on there!
As I think @pug said, we should get this thread stickied/pinned! I don't have the guts to just ask one of the admins upfront though!
Thanks John! Map has been updated!
Could add the link to your signature, then it's everywhere! lol! At least in the mean time.I agree, but I'm a little biased! This is definitely one of my better ideas!

Yeah, seems everyone is mostly at the sides of the country, no one in the middle! Perhaps if we got some more people to join in, we could fill that space!

Close. I am actually, south of there, just south of the golf course. I pick up 20-30 golf balls off my lawn every month. And one broke my windshield last year. I am tempted to do a few hundred doughnuts with my rc monster truck on the 'greens' some night as a sign of appreciation.

I would take your golfball collection, and build a VERY high powered RC golf ball cannon, mounted on a 2-axis turret with an FPV cam sighted in on the cannon's range. Then, on nice warm sunny days, I would sit on the porch with some goggles and a Tx, and I would return fire.
I appreciate the tag, but I haven't touched an RC in years now. After over 20 years in the hobby, I kind of just burnt out and lost interest.

That's because you don't have a spectacularly awesome SCX24!
C'mon you know you want to.
Nah, there are times I miss it, but I have multiple other hobbies and limited hobby time in addition to just losing interest. I still have a bunch of rigs I need to sell off at some point. Kept them just to make sure it wasn't temporary.That's because you don't have a spectacularly awesome SCX24!

I can dig it, my hobbies tend to change about every 10 years or so.

I'd say myself, @robmob and @HPIguy all started to fizzle out around the same time several years ago. I was so committed to rc's back then, had so many and would spend well over a grand in some cases closer to two on just one comp rig. My wallet hasn't missed it but I did have a little itch recently and thats why I picked up a scx24. I think all 3 of us just stayed around here because its like our online home haha, either that or because @WoodiE never booted us.
