It's very difficult to search an individual post.... I've tried.... I think the new VB software will alow you to do it, but Shane needs the time and money to do that....

The problem is, there are so many different cars out there, attempting to make a forum for each you'd end up with 200 sub forums...

There's also a ton of tips that can go between cars/companies...

So... Something like this....

Electric On road (main forum)
-Subs-
Yokomo
AE
Losi
Xray
Corally
(etc...)

I hate trying to search the large posts for info...
Look...you MUST divide by classes, not manufacturer. If you go by manufacturer, you'll end up with the tangled mess we have now.

By dividing by class, you automatically create a logical search pattern for the end user.

Within each class' forums, you then could have sticky'd threads for all the popular car makes, and leave the rest of the forum for the more general-type stuff.
