Hi everyone,

just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Mike and I have been messing around with R/C for a long time, and have recently bought a tamiya 1/14 MAN truck, I found this forum by luck and hope to be a part of this community.

I'm currently in the middle of building my truck, and will post pics when finished

if you are looking for the frame rails from a lhs you can pm me and i can give you a few that can get them for you or you can check out the vendors section on this forum or the buy and sell section hope this helps...good luck and hoping to see pics of what your building

[eurocharged]

what is a LHS, sorry i'm still new to this...

for the local guys in the GTA, do you guys do meets and stuff or is there a certain place you guys run these trucks at ?

[doodlebug]

LHS, Local Hobby Shop.

We don't have any official meets yet. It there's enough of us. Ow we should work on setting something up

[REV73]

I think setting up some sort of a meet would be great, but the question is who has the time and the know how to organize that sort of thing, I see some of the set ups they run in the u.s. with the roads and piles of dirt and the construction equip and I am amazed. How do we go about starting one?? I would suggest we might think of the Hamilton area for a location as we have members from Brantford, Ancaster, Selkirk, Burlington, and all the way to Toronto now. Thoughts?

[eurocharged]

well, in my daytime job i'm used to organizing big meets for real cars

my sites are www.eurocharged.ca, www.eurocharged.com and www.eurochargedasia.com

I can get my customers to sponsor us some food and drinks, all we need is really an empty parking lot and a BBQ

[civic83]

Hmmm that sounds like a great idea, doesn't fergus have a big truck show every year? Might be able to get in with them?

[REV73]

that would be an awesome place to showcase our stuff, should we contact them about setting up a display???

[civic83]

Way ahead of you rev, I sent them an email. Their shows the end of July , we will see what they say. I think once I hear back from them I'll start up a new thread for the show ( if it's a go), what's everyone think?
