Top ten things rc related things that piss you off.

[shaunjohnson]

1. MAXAMPS!!
2. noobs who wont take advice from more experienced people
3. traxxas's marketing (duuurrrr lets sell nimh batts with the MMM combo!)
4. nitro fags who are always telling you how much better nitro is until you smoke them with BL power then they go have a sook!
5. cleaning after a mud-run day (that slurry mud you get when dust is mixed with water, gets EVERYWHERE)
6. people asking if they can have a go when you know they cant handle an RC let alone BL, makes you feel bad inside when you have to say no.
7. club members who wont put their hand up for anything (poor old canteen lady had to take up her job again because no one else put up their hand)
8. marshals not turning up on time
9. rebuilding anything/all parts
10. high initial cost
11. "how fast does it go? how much does it cost? oh that's not worth it you fing tool"
12. people trying to run it over with their 1:1 after they realise they cant win the drag race.

5. People who have taken a degree course and insist that they know more about proper r/c setup, even though they dont actually own a truck or BL system etc ( posting something like "bla blah IR^V blah blah" is all well and good, but nothing beats actual experience or Eagletree data).

9. People who quote pictures ( or lots of pictures ), especially when they are posting immediately after that said picture post ( I know some forums where doing this gets you warning points... ).

These need to be on my list

[eovnu87435ds]

1. Those people who are overly cocky saying that their ride with the latest novak system will beat the pants off of every car in the world. These are also the same people who go "Castle Creations? What kind of dumbass knockoff brand is that?"

2. NOBODY CARRIES OFNA PARTS IN ANY LHS!

3. The people who see your castle/tekin car with non-maxamp batteries destroy everybody in a race, and when they ask you what to buy, they disagree with you because the magazine they read didn't tell them to.

4. The 10 year olds who do those "custom" paint jobs to their r/c and try and sell it like it was made of gold

Hmm, sounds like socialism is not working for you Neil... Time to move to Belgium... Everything works perfectly there.

This does suck, finding ofna parts anywhere is a pain. Save for Nitrohouse of course.

I have to say the worsr part of RC is the constant droves of idiots asking how much my car/truck cost. I usually say 5-7 grand, just to see the looks on their faces. But often they say that is ok, since the car must easily be doing 80mph (always geared for 45mph). Sometimes I tell them I got it from walmart, on sale for 20 bucks. They then race over there to get one for themselves.

Your a evil, evil man .Thats seriously Funny !

All of the above and parts that disappear like magic right in front of me. I put it right there in front of me in plain vue on the table, I turn around to get something else and when I come back, the part is gone 'cause I just can't find it.

Oh so true... I thought I saw a hot chick is Wally World one day, finally got a good look and did not go back for a few months...

Yes I am, I figured if you ask a stupid question you should expect a stupid answer!
