lets not forget

[scollins]

All-

It has been just over one year since we lost TC member and friend rad22rad, Rad Fismistr- the creator of the Awesome Alloys R/C wheels and components he used to sell on this site years ago. He was a great person and I hope that we can still look to his model building as inspiration, especially for those that are newer members to the TC community. I cannot believe it has been a year already.

I still miss my friend. It is my wish that his other friends are also thinking of him that were connected to him thru this site. Sending peace and thoughts to his family and friends as I am sure it would be appreciated.

Good on you for calling this out. A real loss to our community and naturally even more so to his family. He is gone but will never be forgotten by us.

Didn't know the guy and never heard of him until this thread.

Sounds like the community lost a decent member :-(

A sad loss to the community, thanks for the reminder.  I never knew him personally but I remember his creations here.

Did not know him but his work still looks awesome.  Rest in Peace...

Oh my goodness... I've been away from these forums, and Tamiya, for about 6 years and have only just learned this sad news

I remember Rad's products very well.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on some wheel covers for my SRB, they were THE product to have during the SRB re-release fever era if you wanted to raise your SRB to higher levels. He was the 'go to' guy and his products never failed to be brilliant.

Also his models in his showroom, some of the best top drawer work seen on TC, always worth a drool and were something to aspire too, always made me smile to see a new posting from Rad.

 

Very sad news indeed.

 

RIP Rad. Thanks for the inspiration and your incredibly hard work for helping Tamiya, and SRB fans all over the world to raise their game.
