I figured there was enough discussion about it that it deserved it's own forum! Have at it ;)

not for nothin', but shouldn't it be in the Slot Car forums instead of Diecast?

Or do you know something we don't know? :D

Always glad to see progress in this option. Let's keep hoping that this pans out...

OK, I've moved Round 2 to it's final resting place. An evening on in the Diecast area should have been enough to get it exposed to the Diecast/Johnny Lightning members that might be interested.

So has anyone sent a link for this to Round 2?

Otherwise they might not ever know it was here.....

I don't understand why Round2 should get its own forum. They are just one of a number of slot car makers out there. Until they start shipping products it's all vaporware and promises.

Round2 should have to earn a right to get an exclusive forum on The HobbyTalk board. I don't think they deserve it - not yet anyway.

Hank will reveal all in due time, I'm sure.

In the meantime, here's some good reading. TL and Hobbytalk go way back.

Tom believes in the value of an online community. Maybe he wants to lay the foundation for this one early. I have no problem with that...

I hear ya, but I'm still of the opinion that the jury is still out...

What would change my mind ...

Recall we were talking about a Round 2 "signature car" on another Round 2 post...

Well.................

If Tom were to produce a "HobbyTalk Slot Car Forum" signature car ... and make it available only to HobbyTalk members ... and donate a percentage of the sales of the HobbyTalk car to the care and upkeep of the HobbyTalk board ... well then I'd be 100% behind Round 2 getting an exalted place on the board.

So how would that scenario play out with other members of the Hobbytalk community???

I'd go for that and I think it would ensure R2 actully deserves a spot here.. lol.. Gee that sounded rather snobish of me.....
