A New RCGroups.com Feature - Places

Our new "Places" feature allows you to browse our database of more than 5,600 RC related locations and more!
You can find RC related:

• boat sites
• car tracks

• hobby shops

Our Places page allows you to view the following information for each venue :

• description

• weather conditions
• and more!

And best of all, each place has its own forum!

Go check out our new Places page now!

Sound like a good idea

How do I find other members close to where I live?

Nice to see an entire state in Australia missing from this database! And it's the one I live in of course...

No NSW? Antartica...1 reference...seriously?....Why even bother?, whoever wrote this up needs an atlas

Looks like a great idea I live in Maine and saw that one of the biggest RC shops isnt listed. Do I PM you with a link to the site?

Funnily enough the RCGroups app has all of the locations in NSW. I assumed this was a web version of that.

All you have to do to add a location is go to the Maps page and right click your location.
You can then add all the information related to that site.
After you add the location a moderator will approve it and it will show up on our Maps page and Places page.
Here is what you see when you right click a location:


I added the info for my local field. Any member on the site can do the same:

Here is one explanation on how to find members near you:

Here is an image showing how to do that on the Places page:

I did this once. You do a member search with your zip code and it finds the closest ones. I made some contacts this way. Some people don't want to be bothered and others are more open to meeting others with the addiction!

I started a thread in the Georgia section under adairsville but it doesn't show up in the places home page, it'stheir under the thread can you fix it? thanks Lane

Hi Jim. How can I edit my clubs info? Like the description.

Is there a way to tell specifically which forum member has added the location?

I am trying to add a field to your places. When I right click it does nothing.

Great idea! Thanks RC Groups

Never mind, I was being dumb. I had trouble because It was to easy to figure out!

Thanks
