RE: RC Pet Peeves
Yep, it was in the RCU most popular. I made the mistake of reading the subject line which makes no distinction other than RC. I will refrain from commenting further now that I know it is about cars or trucks.

RE: RC Pet Peeves
NEW pet peeve:
Segregation (<had to check spelling) in RC! I love my cars/trucks but also like my micro helis and when I had my gas powered (Whoops...NITRO) heli! I flied it 5 times and crashed it 6. Also had a plane...didn't end well! My Prather .45 Tunnel hull called the "Psycho Troll" (had a little red devil with yellow hair in cockpit) Was great fun except swimming when it stalled. We're all RC'ers no matter what our focus is on!

Going through all the steps to figure out why your motor won't start, only to find out you did not put gas in it.
C'mon, at least I didn't say "mill" (always wondered what the hell that one meant)

Oh no, here come the flyboys, this thread must have made it to the 'most popular' threads on the homepage of RCU.
Get out and take your nerdy turbines with you, we prefer two dimensions in here, and even that's 2 dimensions too many for some of us! lol.
Despite this not being the Off Topic Cars forum, I'm waiting any minute for a 'What does this have to do with model aviation? I don't even...' [&:]

Pretty much anything added to a car for asthetics only that didn't come stock. Lights are the worst.

RE: RC Pet Peeves
it really gets me when someone paints a brand new body (shell) then uses something blunt to make the mounting holes. what a total waste of money.

Suddenly having a third dimension added to my warship's range of normal movement....down. Gee, I hate that.

''Nitro gas'' is my worst pet peeve. It's either nitro fuel (or FAI fuel with no nitro) or gas(oline). One or the other, but hey are NOT interchangeable.

have you ever tried driving outdoors at dusk? Lights help with orientation when running at the end of the day. Hell, I even got a bunch of solar-powered walkway lights so I can run AT NIGHT! Lights aren't just for aethstetics. Some of us a just crazy enough to want to run at night!

So in your oppinion this car anoys you because it has Light buckets, fake exhaust, mirrorsand correct badges/stickers?
So if that anoys u does that mean u would prefer to have some thing like this, with nothing added for asthetics?
do u feel the same about painting the body? after all its only painted for asthetics, what about scale looking wheels? are u a big fan of the closed in racing wheels?
man if lights fitted to a rc car is the biggest rc related peeveu can think of, I would love to see ur face when u see a scale crawler for the first time.
here is another all time pet peeve of mine
