I have a habit of ignoring warnings. How do you get a hospitality award?

You just gotta warn, errr, welcome ppl at the door!🤣
If someone chooses to welcome new members into the fold and hopefully engage in some convo to let them know they are welcome and reached an active site, those persons are awarded. 😁
The mods ARE active and watching here! 😉🤣

Wait! I didn't mean to "love this" pic!!!
You're a bad, bad (and very tallented) man! 🤣🤣🤣

All I can think about is how much damage he's doing to the environment with his toy trucks! :eek:

Ok, I had trouble typing that with a straight face. 🤣

I use microfiber towels to wipe away the tears for a "lint-free" finish!😉

Yeah, I didn't ever see myself trying flight again but mini drones ARE fun! 🤣
Ever been to an R/C airshow???
A flyers group put on a HUGE show at Sanford airport locally.
I saw the most insane examples of r/c flight that I could have imagined!!!
A 1/4 scale F16 is really something!!!
Huge planes doing VERY low speed acrobatics and tricks... I didn't know a plane could actually "fly" like this until I saw it happening!

You might find yourself at the beach and see a speed boat that you just love!

Never say never! 🤣

I am just starting to get into on-road. I need to find a gym or carpet track to run on tho.
Maybe I can find a closed up mall with easy access... 🤔😂
The on road cars are awesome! Asphalt is just so brutal to a chassis! Locally, there's no other place to run. (Maybe a hockey rink!🤔)
Theres lots to learn at a track! Tuning and driving skills need MUCH improvement!

Once you start building kits, you'll sharpen your skills quickly! I'll bet it won't be long til you're winning ROTM too!
The competition is TOUGH this month!
There are some REAL nice rides up there!
@Littlemotor 's builds are def on a level I've yet to reach! I learn a lot from his posts here. His tire and paint skills and write-ups are awesome!
This site has a lot of EXCEPTIONALLY tallented builders and drivers. There are ppl here who post tech articles like lab experiments! @Greywolf74 battery, charging and equipment how tos are so "above and beyond"!!!
We're pretty lucky to be here actually! 👍😍

I agree man-it’s a close race for sure this month!! I didn’t think I’d be anywhere even CLOSE to the top with the caliber of rides, and photo skills.. I REALLY like @jimdavis577 ‘s Custom Works entry. Also even though I’m not crazy into crawlers- the newcomer has a seriously nice looking truck, and the photo is top notch. We’ve all been going back and forth for the last few days! I really appreciate the kind words as well-I just build em as best I can, and sometimes get real lucky with how they turn out.. it’s the UNDERhood stuff where I feel like I tend to excel, so I feel pretty fortunate to have the votes I do when everyone else’s stuff looks so dang good. 😳🤩

Here’s a shot of what I’m most “proud of”…

Also like you were sayin’-I’m a big fan of the technical, and mechanical stuff in RC as well. I’m chomping at the bit to do another well documented, and informative build thread, and with lots of high quality(ish) piktars, accompanied by a bunch of my usual, long-winded commentary.. 😅

Well congrats my friend! You are DEF top contender! 😎👍
I wish I could look at a few bags of parts and clear lexan and "ZAMM!!! NOW I see how to design this to look PERFECT!!!"
My builds end up getting cracked up before the paint is dry anyways! 🤣
I lack the "artist's eye". ☹️

I have a new budget for this next one. But I might lower it. I can feel myself getting carried away 😊

... and I told myself earlier this year I'm done buying anymore RCs. I was downsizing for Pete's sake. I sold off some RCs that I said I'd never get rid of :doh:😆:facepalm:.

I have a feeling I’ll be keeping the MT10 as well as getting a Tekno. And I have no problem with that. I’ll just have to get a little creative as the RC’s in this house keep multiplying for some reason 😃
