Some of them guys are fairly active on your boards in here, just look around. I see them pretty easily. Some or the censoring I agree with such as vulgar language with minors present on The forums and with the ban on hobbyking. Hobbyking went and violated their copyrights so its only deserving to kick their stuff.

Traxxas pays for The servers, equipment and other stuff so they can decide what gets posted. it would be the same as if you owned it you would get to make the rules so why help the competition.

RCM has a post when you come to their home page about people violating their rights as well by illegally copying there products which we all know China wont do a thing to enforce because their communist. I have 4-6 email addresses and a free gmail account will work over there. I have a couple yahoo email accounts and They by far generate more spam than the rest combined. MSN and other are spam targets as well.

[B] And we do not dispute any of your points in the first three paragraphs. Well said. But that is not the kind of control I was talking about. A good company will listen to constructive criticisum in order to learn how to improve their products and make them even better. If you complain or make one negative remark regarding any of their products you are banned for life. This is why TRX is struggling to be on top, because of the crap going on in that forum. If you disagree with any of their Mods you are banned for life. If you make any statements against their political beliefs you are banned for life. That is not what any of us call reasonable control of a public forum, it is Nazi sensorship plain and simple. Yes there are a fair bunch of guys from TRX in here, because a lot of them are getting sick of the crap over there. Most are newbies, and those that are not have been in here for a very long time because they were banned over there or just got sick of dealing with all the little kiddie games.[/B]

Just because I say something you don't agree with doesn't mean I'm going to bow to you so stop your barking because your barking at the wrong tree. I've watched these forums for a long time as I have castle products as well as novak and traxxas as well as losi. I'm not stuck on myself and in one gear as you make it sound that you could possibly. I use rcm for my castle and mod stuff. I guess because you hang out here that you feel it gives you a superiority over someone who uses a traxxas forum as well. I just have one thing to say, just grow up and don't be so self centered.............

Those 2 videos are pretty sweet! Makes me wish I was small enough to ride one! I have a feeling I would collapse one of those things though. Maybe i could put platic wheels on my quad and drift around like that :lol:

Last year, I was looking around Craigslist and such for a cheap power wheels with a bad motor or something but everything was over $50-60. I wanted to do something similar, except use 5s and a sensored setup (for smoother takeoffs). I also wanted to add a way to mechanically disconnect the steering and pedals so that when I drive it remotely and my kid is in it, she won't fight against it.

Since I couldn't find a cheap donor, the project was scrapped. Ideally, I'd like to get something a little more durable with proper suspension and everything; something like a mini-ATV.

I was going to post on the Trx link, but my old user/pass doesn't seem to work. The poster mentions using a microcontroller, which is fine, but I think a modded servo tester (replace the tester's pot with the pedal's pot) would be easier. Or, use a 556 timer IC with the appropriate timing components.
