    We hit 400 members today!!!

    We hit another milestone. **400** members. YAAAA
    The forum has been growing at a nice pace.

    For all you active members answering questions for newbies, I had a nice email from a forum member before I left on vacation that I would like to share. He doesn't write but likes to read the info. He said

    it was nice to go on a forum where the users don't tell you to scrap the crap you have and buy a new high dollar motor, speed control and hull.

    That put a huge smile on my face. Its not aways about being the fastest in the world. For me personally its about having the most fun on any given Sunday with whatever you decide to run!

    Again I would like to thank you guys!!! Keep up the good work!

    To show my appreciation I have a little special.

    $8.55 off coupon for Forum Member orders placed for the next 3 days on orders of $20 and up. This is good for forum members that were active on or before 08/21. Anyone using this coupon that doesn't fall in that category will have the entire order refunded. That's about equivalent to s&h on basic orders.

    Coupon code:
    forum855

    Its real easy to use the code. Look right above the "payment Method" during checkout. You will see "Coupon or Discount Number:" enter forum855
    Use no spaces.

    This is good for orders placed after 11am eastern time on 8/22/2007 and ends midnight 8/25/02007.

    With out OSE & your hard work many of us would have moved on to other areas of rc long ago. You have made all this a reality.
    Thank you Steven.

                  I discovered OSE by accident just doing a search for "Kyosho Twin Storm". On the site Steven explained that the boat would really respond to a new prop that he had tested and he would include one if I ordered the boat. I did and he was right! Try getting that kind of effort from Tower Hobbies! Congrats on a great site.

                        We all have helped the forums success. Its impossible for me to test every boat or item out there. That's where all you guys have helped step in. Not everyone is willing to chart untested waters. A bunch of you guys are and take it a step further by sharing the info. I will never forget, I bought a untested setup from a rc boat dealer. After finding the setup worked I was proud to call him to tell him the results. He was happy for my success and I was happy for his help. But at the end of the conversation he told me not to tell anyone. That I did the work and should keep it to myself. Let them do their own homework. I have to say NO way.

                        Keep up the good work guys!!

                          In the last 44 days the OSE forum has grown by 85 members. That is close to 2 new members each day. That is amazing!

                          Steven what kind of OSE "special" are you going to run when it goes over 500 members? LOL!

                            Its growing quickly. Last week we upgraded our webhosting plan again. Next step is a dedicated server. I couldn't have asked for better results in terms of membership. I like the idea of a sale for the 500 mark. Let me think on it.
