Status: offline 		I'm bored and it's 1:35 am so I 'm gonna start by stating what really pi$$'s me off about R/C so here goes....

1:Cracking your newly painted body
2:The fact that my invincible Savage is down because of a little 90 cent screw that keeps the front center axle in place.
3:Getting Finger prints on my decals before I put them on even when I use the tweesers or my X-acto knife.
4 ead batteries no matter how often you charge them they'll still go dead at just the wrong moment.
5:Now this is the ultimate thing that pi$$'s me off......E-Clips I HATE THOSE $#@!%$@ E-CLIPS!!!!!! LOL

1. The fact that the word 'hobby' seems to mean 'add a mark-up of 1000% to this item....even if it *is* only a 1" piece of silicon tube that can be bought at any hardware shop for 10 cents'.
2. Hobby shop owners who have an unwaivering belief in point 1.
3. Having your cat decide to sharpen his claws/teeth on the wing you've just spent 2 days framing up.
4. Arriving at the field/track, only to discover that your transmitter/fuel/starter battery/ is still on the bench at home.
5. Falling victim to point 4 and having just driven more than an hour to get to the field/track.
6. Buying a huge set of expensive, drill-stock allen keys, specifically so you can get the one particular size you need for transmission adjustment, and realising (on race day, right before heat #1) that it's not actually in the set. (Don't ask me how I know about this one.....)
7. The fact that the only tires you can buy that have enough grip cost 10 times as much as the cheaper ones and last 1/4 as long.

There's plenty more....but that'll do for starters

Status: offline 		I though i was the only one that had friends who though rc was stupid. Anyhow heres the funny thing, whenever they see them they always stand and watch, or ask can i drive it can i try it. ( Or even at races or events They ALWAYS draw large crowds or people just watching.) 2 days later there ready to tell you how stupid it is. I dont pay anymind to them though I think most people that say RC is stupid prolly just mad they cant afford to run one or dont have the competency to do so.

-Going to McDonalds drive through, getting home/hotel, then finding out they screwed up your order. Hate that, go somewhere to get something 'quick' cuz you have to get up early, then they screw it up .

Status: offline 		What I really hate? When you spend a week or two waiting for a backordered part to arrive, when it finally does arrive you put your truck back together and take it out for a run only to break a new part within minutes and you're down again.

Someone asked me what spares they should buy for their new truck...I said just buy another complete truck and keep it handy.

Status: offline 		12- paying 40 bucks for a body that just gets wrecked right away
13-ripping the pullstarter off and having to buy a new part for it
14-car running away when you just put a new failsafe in it(happened to me)
15-around where I live, everyone has an RC but they wont race. they're all "I dont want to break something"or "I dont know how"
16-jumping the truck then breaking the suspension
17- like rcharry said, not having a compressor. it sucks to have to pay 200 bucks for an air compressor.
