why do people in school think r/c is stupid and im a fagget for liking it

I just keep it to myself mostly. I think i used to tell some people back in middle school. I even brought my GT into class once and did a speach on it i think. People thought it was pretty sweet after seeing it. Now that i'm in college i don't really give a crap about what people care about me. If people think i'm a fag for enjoying a hobby then they can go to hell cuz i'll find plenty of other people to hang out with.

yeah thats the same for me except im in high school. i have 1-2 friends that like rc stuff, and the rest dont care what i like. i dont know what people have against rc.

ya so f u WORLD

i brought in my GT once for an english project, ppl thought it was cool...[8D]

everyone i know(i have freinds) likes r/c cars but the people i don't know are like what a wasdte of money,and i'm like ya maybe if you had a hobbie you would have a life

People always made fun of me for racing R/C. They thought that until I gave a speech on how to mod and rebuild r/c engines. Then I show'd a couple vids of how to do freestyles and how to have fun in skate parks. They have more respect for me than ever now, especially when they found out how much skill was required to do the tricks

yeh they think its a waste of money and its stupid but when they see my shiny baby screaming down the street they love it my friends dont care because if i show respect towards them they show it back and i am only in high school so i think i got some good friends with me.

I dont tell alot of ppl about it but all my friends know i like it and everybody loves mine i live in a small town so im like the only one at that has one in town its pretty cool ppl are jealous of me.

Just dont care what other ppl think if they don't like the things you do then there not your friends

i tell them i aint the on wasting money.(thats what they tell me) i tell them i dunt waste money on drugs like you. if you think its stupid then why are you looking at the magazines i bring to school"rc driver". they be like shut up umb***** fagget. you tell them you got a responsibilty or maintaining it and actually spending money wisly and in the future you are going to spend wisly they aint

well rc does teach kids liek me alot about spending $$. you have to save(in my case) to get anyhting you want. i think it teaches soem good lessons(i know none of us really want to hear this but its true!).

I am not sure if it is an age difference, but when I began doing RC in the '80s it was the hot thing to do. People loved it and were interested in the cars and the people. As it has become popular again, I think that some of us old timers in RC are our own worst enemies. To validate my point, I have a great LHS and another OK one. In the OK one there is a gentleman about my age who, no s**t, acts like the guy form the Simpsons - The comic book guy. If I were a kid getting into this sport and he were the first person I met and he was trying to get me into the sport - I would run. This guy has never left RC or the '80s for that matter. I do not think he is the only person like this in RC.

I love RC and am excited to see another generation getting interested in it. Please don't let other people's opions effect your outlook on it. It is the only activty that you control all aspects of racing. Tuning, racing and troubleshooting. It is a great exercise for the brain.

yah when i am looking at my rc magazines in school ppl are like that is so stupid and this one prep jock kid giving me **** and one time this summer he was biking down my street when i was driving my rc car and i was taking it off jumps and he was watching me, and i felt like saying fu** off you think this is gay

we used to have a hobbys day at my school were every one bought in there hobby and me and about seven other people with r/c cars were flying round the pay ground and nearly every body was watching it was well good then two monster trucks had a head on colition at full speed and both got totaled.

haha nice sucks though for the monster trucks

i would never leave the hobby beacuse of what people say it just pisses me off

and in the summer they ride down the block like o man let me drive it

you aint the only one

Lots of spelling errors from you guys... anywho. If our school had a hobby day, I'd bring in all my trucks and maybe a couple of my onroaders. Nothing could be more fun than roasting an old set of tires down the school hallways. People at my school tend to be more interested in who's engine has more snap when whippin donuts... I gotta love my .15 Nitrostar SS for having its low grunt. For that one time I DID bring it to school... I just so happened to be doing donuts in the dirt while a couple of the guys that insult me for RC came over to see what I was doing. Of course they tried to con me down again... so I changed my tires, threw on the set of Sand Paws and sent dirt flying at them... pulled a couple wheelies, and also managed to jump one of their Civics. Ever since that day, those "preps" have down right respect for me now. Just think if I didn't land or if I crashed thru their car... so much for "respect" lol.

actualy i think the true leason is controled spending because if when i get money it gose straight into new parts for my babies!!

lol... i have to hide my money or it goes right to towerhobbies.

Allmost all of my friends think that this is a waste of money, because they are allways skateboarding. But they think RC's are cool, but they would never spend any money for a RC. I told one guy about the "real" RC cars and told him that you can tune it and buy hop ups, he just started laughing![][:@][:'(]

I live in a small town just 5 secs. away from Reykjavik (capital of Iceland) wich has about 100.000 people, my town has about 4.000 people. But, in my street, I know about 3 or 4 who has rc cars.

I think most people who like rc cars at school make fun of others to hide that they play with them too. Heck our football player came to me because his TC needs a hefty rebuild (terracrusher). Which reminds me... I gotta tell him about the .18 CV-R for a replacement DOh

I am 25 years old, married and have a 4 year old daughter. I play Xbox Live all the time and am getting back into R/C cars after a 10 year break. I work hard and I like to play hard. I dont really care what people think. Its called a vice. There are some really bad addicting vices out there and R/C and video games are not one of them. I dont have enough money to buy a four wheeler or a boat so I get my fun fix in cheaper ways for now. All you guys in high school heres some advice. Dont spend all your money on R/C cars save some money for your first car or your education and stuff. Always remember there is alot of time in life to be the guy that has the best stuff. When you get older and your making your own money it is alot more fun to do stuff like r/c cars because your not spending every penny you have. And you can usually afford to buy what you want.

Most important!!! Dont care about what the next guy thinks! 9 out of 10 times its jelousy. Life is too short to worry what people think. As long as your happy and having fun then thats what matters most.

Because BMX is better.

I use to race BMX . I raced for 2 years for TeamDK. I never won any champonships or anything but I was dating the #1 girl on the GT Team, Beca Johnson. BMX cost me alot more money then racing my rc10 ever did. This was about 11 years ago though.
