ChitownRC

I was a Leisure Hours Hobby tonight and was talking to
the salesperson about the NakedRC videos they are selling.

He introduced me to a guy and told me to tell him what I
thought of the video. I told him I thought it was 10 times
better than the XXX main videos. I told him how I met the
guys who made the video when I was at the Monster Jam
over the weekend and how they were really nice guys.

Who was this guy? A rep from Great Planes.

He took a copy with him because he is possibly interested
in carrying these videos.

It would be really cool if this video got carried nationally.
We could show the whole country how we bash in Chicago!!!

TRC

wow.. that would be very cool!

your story remins me of once at venture hobbies during the same week as the hobby expo. A large group of japanese men in suits were in the hobby shop. I was asked by a translator what kind of RC's do I own. I told him a t-maxx, Kyosho Landmax, stampede, and TC3. He translates it back to the group of guys. then says, "why did you not buy any tamiya products like the terra crusher?" I replied, "dunno.. I simply like my maxx because of the light weight and size. the TC is way too heavy and large for my tastes. its like a big heavy oversized lead weight." We then go back and forth these guys asking me questions why I bought my RC's and such. then the translator tells me they are the top dogs... CEO, VP, and all from Tamiya!!! Man did I feel bad for saying the TC was a big oversized lead weight truck. Open mouth insert foot. haha!! so when the hobby show comes to town be carefull what you say to peopl in the LHS's... ya never know.

all u people wright too dam much...u should know that some people (like me) are too lazy to read all that!

In the same sense, some "Real World" input may help the companies, especially overseas companies, see what the american R/C'ers are looking for. Sometimes, a little constructive criticism is a good thing....
