What type of twisted thinking takes a adult to get anoyed on some child's first Rc paint job?
Who cares if it's there first, single color paint job, seriously


Child? Who said child? And who said anything about anybodys first, either? I would have to assume, without checking, that you are an offender of this, because you are taking this WAY to seriously. Jumping down my throat because I posted MY OPINION on a thread that ASKED for it. Right.

FahrtAutoRC! U seem to have some very strong opinions on these subjects,
dident u start a thread last year about how u should paint ur 8ight?
And in the end dident u use a pre made paint mask and only 2 colors?
I never saw any close up pics, how sharp are ur lines?

I just think if u talk the talk then u can walk the walk right?


I'm sorry, pre made paint mask? YEA, RIGHT! More like a roll of masking tape, a sharpie, hobby knife and some rattle cans. Flattered that you thought it was something manufactured, thank you!



And I'm sure you do like to show off your..."projects".

Seriously though, buddy, did you even read, comprehend or THINK while you were viewing my posts, or did you decide to take it personal and jump all over it? I never named any names

Everything is seen, committed to memory, and you never know what might be going on behind closed doors.

I will tell you though...It takes a history of bad behaviour, multiple shunned opportunities to improve, at least two stints on MS (Moderated Status), before we would even consider banning someone. It is actually incredibly difficult to be the subject of disciplinary action here, we prefer to remove posts and give people multiple chances to understand how we want them to 'fly right', before even dropping the first MS hammer on them. The wheels grind slowly, but don't worry, persistently disruptive members ALWAYS get ejected in the end.

Rick, this isn't the first complaint I've heard about you recently (yes, of course it is from people with whom you have vehemently disagreed, and yes, of course it is natural for those people to want you to get into trouble, however, there is no smoke without fire, if you get my meaning). Please try to be less cutting in your posts, honestly, be nicer, for my benefit if nobody else's. Thanks.

You're absolutely right Foxy, nothing is ever forgotten.

You wanna watch yourself my mate. How quickly you seem to have forgotten.

Furthermore...

1) I expect you think I deleted your posts on the previous page. I didn't, but only because I hadn't actually seen them. Had I seen them (and every other post Ken deleted yesterday) I would have done the same thing.

2) If you have a dispute with RCU, take it up with management. If you post about it on the forum again, I will not be impressed. Haven't you been ranting about cancelling your platinum membership for like a year? I would say you've left it a bit too late now.





Listen guys, the nitro debate was fun, lets just chill out a bit, the echos of it seem to be reverberating and getting amplified again. Remember you don't have to dislike someone to disliike or disagree with what they say.

Relax.

Yes, u are right I shouldn't of singled out anyone.
And generally I hold a lot of respect for ur posts, but that particular post was by far not one of ur best.

When u say thinks like
"Let's all watch this crappy youtube vid I made, just like the one I posted yesterday!"
"Showing off solid color or ultra-simple bodies and expecting praise out the yin yang"
"Yea, I'm a real pr ick with a bad attitude. Oh well"

It's hard to see, where u are comming from? I just hope I've misunderstood your post and u are really not that rude.

I still stand by my post, surely u knew someone would bite? And was I wrong to jump to conclusion I did?

Thats really annoying, I find it hard to get someone to film for me too, sometimes I just strap my phone to the antenna with cable tires and drive and film that way. The quality isn't the best if you don't drive through the screen and I don't recommend driving through the screen if there are hazards around (people, trees, lakes ect)

Almost all my bashing is done by myself, It is much better if there is someone to share the funny moments with and the awesome air I get with my mt4

All we have now is a bunch of bored people arguing with each other about the stupidest stuff.

Stop talking about ur feelings and opinions, this is not a sewing circle. Get out there, drive ur cars, break ur cars, get videos, make a project, tell us about it, blog about it, it's better than threads like this

Hell, I made a matchstick boat trailer, and I might of found a turnbuckle for steering on the micro losi SCT and rally cars. What have u done? Share?

I agree, lets have a competition to see who can make the best bashing video under 2 minutes in length or something exciting

If anyone has any ideas or is interested in a bashing video competition then let me know

Yeah we have had some pretty hot days this summer, I like the long days, more time for rc as there is more daylight, though you have to keep an eye on the heat on some days or you can easily overheat your motor/esc/battery

Damn it, I just thought of a truly amazing idea, A  rc radio that heats up in your hands so you don't go numb operating your car/plane/ect in the cold

Welcome to winter. Proptop has it spot on...cabin fever.

The drama always picks up around this time of year. You should see the Jets and AMA forums.

Seriously after leaving the iPad on the back table, in a Griffen survivor case even, after about 30min it overheated and displayed a warning message. No kidding, after taking out of the case I couldent touch the iPad back or front screen for longer than 4 seconds with out it burning.... Imagine trying to run a brushless car in this weather?
Some days I'm tempted to try water cooling...

When I said crappy, I meant it! There are many good YouTube vids out there, but when someone posts a 5 minute vid of a stock Savage taking the same mud puddle until it splashes all the water out of it, there's really nothing to show there, hence, the pet peeve. That's just an example, but it should be clearenough for you to get the gist.

As for the solid color bodies and such, my complaint about that was not people painting them like that in general, whatever floats your boat is just fine, but the guys who do it and then post 99000 pics expecting praise really need to rethink it, IMO.

And yea, I'm a jerk, a Kraut with an attitude problem, but that does not mean I intend to do that 100% of the time.

I feel, honestly, as adults, I scarcely have one nice word to say to you OR KennyKiller, so I think we should all just about face and pretend each other don't exist for the time being, until things chill out. You do post some good things here and there, and having to use the "block" function would surely detract from that. I am ALWAYS touchy. Not bragging, but I am THE Alpha in my day-to-day life, and I find it hard to swallow when a stranger gives me a hard time about things. For this reason, bye-gones be bye-gones and let's leave each other the hell alone for a little bit.

I've survived this whole winter so far, snow storm and all, with little more than a black beanie and a red quilted flannel, winter coat still hanging in the closet. Right before Christmas, we had a night with about  6-8" of continuously falling snow, 30* temps and no wind, man I was in HEAVEN! I went out and spent hours smoking on my porch and just watching the world go by.

3. standing next to an rc aircraft, some comes up to you and asks "how fast does it go"

2. someone telling you "yea I got a remote plane I fly but its bigger than yours, (me) oh yeah? what is it? (him) oh I don't know I bought it at a yard sale (true story)

1. watching a pilot skillfully fly 3D and asking him about his engine setting or oil ratio and he repies " oh I don't know about those things, my father takes care of that, I just fly (true story also)

Yep same kinda thing here. Grew up in Wisconsin with a snowmobile at my side. Still have 3 snowmobiles to date and LOVE to ride them on the coldest days. The colder, the more power and better snow conditions to get traction on. I used to collect vintage sleds until I purchased a couple of nitro trucks for my sons for christmas. These little engines took my interest to the point I got rid of ALL my vintage machines.

I HATE it when it gets above 80F Way too fricken hot for me. There were a couple of race days this past summer that started out at about 100F with high humidity.........the worst for me. My top R/c pet peeve is THE WEATHER!

This winter has been EPIC for me as far as running my Nitro stuff. I usually let my stuff hybernate (spelling) for the winter. This year I have been embrasing the EXTRA power the cold weather is bringing to these little monsters and beating the living heck outta my stuff.

I strapped 1/5th scale wheels and tires on my Hyper 7 now and I call it the shredder! Anyone remember the Firehammer 1/5th scales? I still have the truck version (sorry to say), I am using the wheels and tires from the buggy version. Got a little dusting of ice and snow overnight last sat. Sunday was spent tearing every square inch of my yard and the street up with it. 50mph drifting, sweet roosters, huge snowbank jumping, hill shredding and climbing. Another 3/4 gallon of fuel and maybe one smoked servo, all is good.

Sorry got off topic....I suck at this forum stuff.

LOL ...I grew up on the snow..... as a kid I played hockey all the time...then as I got older I started messing with snowmobiles.... Tats where I developed my interest for two strokes............... I couldn't even imagine life in the type of heat you have there, it would kill me.........tho i am sure my cold would kill you just the same....we can see as low as -50C here during the coldest times....very often it is -30 c with a heavy windchill on top of it........ Crazy as it sounds but my favorite time to ride the sleds is when it is -40c and below....the engine make amazing power in those conditions...


Yep same kinda thing here. Grew up in Wisconsin with a snowmobile at my side. Still have 3 snowmobiles to date and LOVE to ride them on the coldest days. The colder, the more power and better snow conditions to get traction on. I used to collect vintage sleds until I purchased a couple of nitro trucks for my sons for christmas. These little engines took my interest to the point I got rid of ALL my vintage machines.

I HATE it when it gets above 80F Way too fricken hot for me. There were a couple of race days this past summer that started out at about 100F with high humidity.........the worst for me. My top R/c pet peeve is THE WEATHER!

This winter has been EPIC for me as far as running my Nitro stuff. I usually let my stuff hybernate (spelling) for the winter. This year I have been embrasing the EXTRA power the cold weather is bringing to these little monsters and beating the living heck outta my stuff.

I strapped 1/5th scale wheels and tires on my Hyper 7 now and I call it the shredder! Anyone remember the Firehammer 1/5th scales? I still have the truck version (sorry to say), I am using the wheels and tires from the buggy version. Got a little dusting of ice and snow overnight last sat. Sunday was spent tearing every square inch of my yard and the street up with it. 50mph drifting, sweet roosters, huge snowbank jumping, hill shredding and climbing. Another 3/4 gallon of fuel and maybe one smoked servo, all is good.

Sorry got off topic....I suck at this forum stuff.

eh, who cares if you got a little off topic. Great description of some fun winter time bashing. I can't stand the rain. No one likes to run in the rain and it hasn't stopped for 4 days now. Wet and sick of it!
