Really sad news....

Post by scr8p »

Hey guys. I just received some unfortunate news that our bud shodog, Jim Peacock, was killed in a motorcycle accident earlier this month. His son sent me a message a little bit ago on his account.

His son is an r/c enthusiast as well. So he's going to try and keep Jim's account going.

RIP JIm.

I’ve only been around here a short time, doesn’t take too long to pick up on how someone is. I’m sure his presence will be missed here and further more by his friends and family.
Best wishes to them. RIP Jim.

Damn.... that's a kick in the goolies for sure. Jim was one of those people that I always had respect for... certainly his builds were more often than not out of this world, but he was always good to chat with, and happy to share his experiences. I'll miss his builds, and his positive attitude.

RIP Shodog... you will be missed :(

I am pretty devastated hearing this news. Jim was one of my go-to people for help and advice, and we chatted a lot both on here and through Fb. He has helped me out with a lot of parts for my builds and always went out of his way to dig though his stash to locate unusual bits and bobs for my cars. The gold Phoenix alloys on my Supercharge Hotshot from BOTM earlier this year were down to his generosity and now have a much more meaningful place in my collection.

Receiving a positive comment from shodog on a build always felt like a big thing.

He will be hugely missed by myself, and across the hobby.

RIP Jim.
