RE: Are RC cars toys?
Yes, absolutely!!!!
They can say what they want but they are still toys... Sophisticated toys certainly but toys none-the-less. Some men can wear pink... Some men can call their toys, toys... Insecurity is a sad, sad thing[:@] |
RE: Are RC cars toys?
i like the term "hobby"
it just sounds more grown-up to say its my hobby, and not its my toys. but yes, they are just expensive toys. the only reason it does sometimes bug me when people call them toys, is if they are doing so in referance to "toy grade" RC's. I recognize that my RC's are toys, but they are not the lame crap you can buy at walmart. they are well made, technical, fast, powerful, detailed RC's that cost real money, take time to build and maintain. Thats my rant:D |

RE: Are RC cars toys?
When I think "toys" I think "can Jimmy come out and play today". I'm much too old to ask a question line that and as such I personally do not look at "hobby-grade" rc anything as a toy. I see cars as no different as heli's or airplanes. I dare someone to ask a veteran RC pilot if his planes or Heli's are "toys"... I think you'd at the very least get a dirty look or two.
If I put several hours of disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling a car... I dont see that as playing with a toy. Toys are legos, video games, and Monopoly. Besides... How many "toys" can you go race and win money or gear with? Lets see a lego car do that! Just my 2 cents. |

LOL Mark, "Hey James, you bringing your jet ski out to the lake today?" James, "Um let me see, Honey I'm taking the jet ski out for a bit". Honey, "Are you serious? Didn't we agree that you put up that new back door and paint the nursery this weekend? Fine, go have a good time I don't care". James, "Sorry Mark, maybe next week". |

Toys!
Toy, an object who's purpose is to entertain or amuse. A toy produces no valuable work and that has a negative fiscal impact on the owner. Example, Toy Hammer. Entertains a small child who uses it to hit other toys with little to no damage done despite work put into hammering. Real Hammer. Has very little entertainment value but produces a positive value of work done and financial benefit to the owner. |

KC, my feelings aren't hurt and I'm not insulted. I do feel I have the right to respond. I have not posted on dozens of forums. I posted on two. Dozens is a lie. Dozens of people, yourself included, have participated. If you think my article is "cheesy" that is OK with me. My point was that if my post wasn't adding to the community, I'd gladly not post similar threads. No one said my feelings were hurt. That whole notion seems silly. Even when you're trying your hardest to insult me, it is meaningless.

RE: Are RC cars toys?
ORIGINAL: MattHiggins Done deal. I'm a little confused since you participated in the thread and then agreed to with the poster who asked me to stop posting threads like this. Anyway, fair is fair, if people are bothered by a thread like this, you can count on it being the last. I don't want to take away from this community. Personally, I think it's a fair question. When people spend loads of money on their RC cars and trucks to make them look or perform better, they can get quite touchy about them. Myself, I think that the word "toy" is very subjective and can be used to describe many things depending on how they're used. |

RE: Are RC cars toys?
Judging by the number of people who have given thoughtful responses versus the number who've complained, I'd say a majority don't mind these threads. I myself have no problem with them and if i dont like them it's as simple as not clicking it.
Back on topic. I consider all my RC stuff toys, that's what they are. Definitely a potential to cause serious injury but still toys. |

My take on the "toy or not a toy" subject is that the toy label only hurts when it allows someone to underestimate the hobby and misunderstand the quality that real hobby-grade RC vehicles offer. |
