I'm with you guys on your opinion of one18th.com. Aside from a handful of folks on there, of which, most of those are members here too, the forum is pretty sad. I would have to say though that this forum and rccrawler.com are the most informative forums I read. Rctech.net isn't bad for some things, but it's easy to run across guys on there that think that if you don't race, you don't know anything.
I quit visiting one18th.com some time ago after a bunch of posts. I finally got tired of what I term that race attitude. Most of the folks with that attitude need to grow up a little. I've watched long enough to see them wind up by themselves after turning everyone else off.
I check the BST (I've gotten some good deals there) over there from time to time, but will not be wasting my time posting.
