Rats, for a moment there I actually thought this was going to be good news.
You got me with that one.

Well, yes of course. But maybe you could introduce your friends to RC - get them interested, bring them to the track, convince them to put down the game controller and go outside and have fun in the dirt.

My local track is always packed with young and old racers alike.

I'll try to see if I can convince my youth group to do a group RC10 or similar restoration. That sounds like fun!

Awesome! I hadn't thought of it before but I reckon RC would be a great youth group activity.

There's honestly a good chance I'll come home with a free project tomorrow when I go to the track. Last two times I went to ham radio conventions, people just gave me free equipment because they're excited to see a young kid in the hobby. Same thing at Pate Swap Meet this year, got some free parts from an old-timer kart racer.
Hopefully I'll get a project our youth group can restore for fun....
