Alright.....so we're having a "who did the dumbest thing contest" and my forgetting the glow-driver isn't the worst one. I guess turning left when meaning to turn right doesn't win? What about hitting myself in the ankle when comng in for a temperature check?
OK....I'll try a product.....Last year I bought a 1/16 nitro buggy....a VTX-MB1....all blinged out with aluminum and can only be used on smooth surfaces...I actually like it, but it isn`t a very good RC.
Bought a rear muffler for my Savage and not only wasn`t it anything like a tuned pipe, it was a pain to prime the engine as you had to plug off two stingers.
Wait.......another blunder......was playing with head shims, couldn't get heat up in the engine, and kept revving it to try to build heat. Of course the crank pin broke......
Drove 5 miles to a parking lot to run my on-road car and once there, realized I forgot to bring fuel.
Dropped a shock o-ring into one of many boxes of junk under my 3-wall surround workbench and spent 3 hours looking before finding it
Reached to adjust the mixture on my airboat and cut two fingers to the bone with the spinning propellor
Didn't practise enough turning in circles, so fell to ground from getting dizzy while my U-control was in the air.....bad crash
Went up on the roof to retrieve a plane and then was too scared to get down. Had to wait about 2 hours before someone came home and braced the ladder for me.
And for my grand finale....the dumbest thing I ever did (although not RC related).....sit on a donkey without a saddle. Might as well have sat on a razor blade....pointy backbone those animals have...
