the point is not the definition of the word PROJECT
cleaning the bathroom is a project
the issue he's taking is the people who consider putting new A-arms on their RC in the same realm of people who custom build something
regardless of if it's a project or not, there's tons of newbies who get really impressed with themselves because they put an RPM bumper on their rustler
putting an rpm bumper on your rustler is not as impressive as putting a rotating water cannon turret on your rustler.
newbies are good for the hobby, but they tend to be impressed with stuff that the rest of us take as normal
Yeah that's why i said "SOME PEOPLE"
So that there can be a real distinction between their custom builds vs the project builds. When i hear custom I instantly think one of a kind period. The word or term project is used very loosely as you stated "cleaning the bathroom can be a project". What most of the noobs probably mean to or need to say is my hopped up or upgraded or even modified.These terms i think would fit the bill. Now if a noob said my project is to upgrade my TMAXX.Then will they be wrong and the upgrading process not be considered a project. Project basically means taking on a task.
