RC Articles - I need your input folks

[styleone]

Hi chaps,

Many of you may have taken some time to have a look through my new oOple RC Articles section on the forum. Firstly I would like to thank everybody who has taken time to PM me with their positive comments and feedback. It really is a pleasure to know that my articles are of interest to the oOple community.

So, moving forwards with my contributions as an oOple staff writer, I would like to offer some points for discussion, debate, and ultimately allow you guys an opportunity to contribute

I currently have several REALLY exciting projects lined up for the RC Articles section. At present I am working alongside Lee Martin, Robin Schumacher, Grant Williams, and a whole host of other 'movers and shakers', top team drivers, and manufacturers that contribute to this wonderful scene.

What I would like to get some member feedback on is as follows:

Is there a hot topic, driver, event, product, or even club that you guys would like to learn more about. The basic concept of this request is to open the opportunity for oOple members to pick (by poll results) an article for me to write for you. I want to do this alongside my current format of creating the articles off my own back as I feel you guys getting involved will ultimately create richer content.

So, I'll be creating a poll from a short list of suggested articles soon...take it away fellow members...give me your most exciting and positive ideas and we will put it to public vote for the first 'user selected' article

one of your excellent interviews with Phil Booth would be good, I've known him for many years and his history in our sport is second to none!

I quite liked the under the hood articles you did, perhaps something similar but team drivers setup explained.

Also could be a review series from different manufactures to explain their cars build process.

How about our lord & master Jimmy himself?

seconded

under the hood with Jimmy's car



also how about some in depth stuff about the actual manufacturing process of our fave cars?

or a Team drivers Top tips article where different team drivers share some race winning tips/tricks/secrets to help us mere mortals shave seconds off our time

[David Church]

I would like to see you interview Tristan Neil of Trishbits, he is such a clever guy and has helped out many top drivers with all sorts, he is definitely on the move in the industry and bound to be a genuine star of the future!!!

Yep couldn't agree more John

One guy that springs straight to mind be Jamie Booth, as well as being highly regarded in this sport no doubt he'd have some great stories to tell!! Another good one would be to do an interview with a painter - Would give a great insight into what goes on behind the scenes from start to finish when it comes to the shells

Agreed!

Also how about an interview with a club organiser about the rewards and pitfalls of running an RC club.
I nominate Neil Dudman of Surrey and Hants

Some brilliant ideas so far chaps. Jamie Booth is currently finishing off an interview that we have been putting together since late last year with the amazing help of our very own Mark Headling

Keep them coming folks

[MHeadling]

Cheers

That reminds me I will give Jamie a nudge to get it finished off, I know he has been busy with Nuremberg, Team C etc

Should be worth the wait though........
