Motor Section?

[Fishmaxx]

I just noticed we have a "Tires & wheels" section and a "radios, servos & batteries " section. How about a motor section.....................We have all seen " Where can I get a lathe motor?" question about a 1000 times.

Make that a sticky in the motor section

We should really change the Batteries/Servos/Radios Section to Electronics to encompass all that.

Once I get mod privlages I am going to put a FAQ about all the popular things and sticky them (IE how to I get clod axles in the Clod Section, and ESC/Servo/Radio FAQ in that section, etc)

I'm praying that will stop the dumb questions.

We have been getting a TON of newbies lately!! Cool that this place is getting super popular, but at the same time, I'm getting mildly annoyed!

I respectfully disagree...........I think you need to specialize the sections not dump everything together. That way newbs can find it easier.

As far as getting annoyed by newbies.............you took the wrong job at the wrong time. With all the magazine coverage, and the 1:1/RC Event being planned this spring.........this place will be flooded with them.

I will dig and search for information, but it would be nice if the stickys in each section had that informatiom already there.

We also don't need 10,000 different sections. They don't get a ton of traffic as is, so adding another subject to the bunch isn't going to hurt a damn thing, I've gone over this with Jason. We don't want 30 pages of sections, thats why he went through and tried to crop them down and push them together.

And as for me taking the wrong job at the wrong time.. I'm doing fine, its just slightly frustrating having to answer the same question several times. I'm still going to do it, and overall I'm enjoying it. So don't jump to assumptions and tell me what I should or should not do.

EDIT: I apologize if that came across harshly, I just don't want my thoughts/posts to be misinterpreted.

First of all I said, "respectfully disagree”

I made (1) valid suggestion not 10,000 in respect to the constant motor posts that won't take up 30 pages.

As far as making assumptions I did no such thing. I just made a comment about to amount of incoming newbies, and your upcoming workload.

That seems an awful lot like a statement, excuse my misjudgement :P

I realize its only one forum, but after just one here and one there.. It'll get up there, and then we'll be like all the others

Thats cool.............reading the same posts over and over again dosn't bother me.

In fact some times I print them out and put them in a notebook that I carry around!

If you don't believe me........ ask JasonInAugusta he has seen it..........

I know its a little insane, but it helps when I go to the hardware store and hobby shop

Nothing wrong with being over organized! (It sure is better than where I am!)

Dave,

I have been working on a road map type of FAQ for the newbies so maybe we can work together (I know ) and cover pretty much every common (rccrawler approved) motor/ESC/batts common question.

I would like to keep it extrelemy clean and very easy to read otherwise the newbs are not going to read it.

Fishmaxx,

I do not think we need a seperate motor section, we already have a electronic section which can/should be used.

ok here's what I did. I changed the radios, batteries, and servos section to the electronics section. It has the subtitle of ESCs, Radios, Servos, Motors, and Batteries.

I'm off to move some threads around...

[SR5Dave]

I win

[Fishmaxx]

I did not know we were keeping score

Jason since there's now a better place for it could you move my post on Johnson 550 Motors to the electronics section? Thanks.
