What the hell?

you strike me as somewhat of a cremudgeon, based on your prior posts.

hobbies cost money and take time and effort. If any of those things is more taxing and your not having fun, change up and do something else.

dont post on here insulting the rest of the people that enjoy the hobby.

And it has taken you over a year to discover that you don't care for RC Tank modelling?
I think that reflects more on you then upon us but I am sorry to see you go, please don't slam the door after you.
shaun.
PS Merry Christmas.

Yes you could see this coming. Some unkind comments on the Pershing thread had me wondering about the spirit of participation.

philipat 12-11-2015 04:56 PM

And in the meantime...what are you doing with your tanks?

RichJohnson 12-11-2015 05:00 PM

Phil you vulture :p

Lighten up please. It is a hobby, and it can get expensive. Most of my tanks are HL, that I purchased through Matomart. I am happy with them.They are all plastic. I have an all metal M4A3 Sherman, I like it. These tanks are not perfect, but they do resemble the real tank. I hope you discover another hobby. So take care and Merry Christmas.

My mother taught me "if you haven't got anything nice to say....) so I generally avoid this but I have to say good riddance. Pretty much all you have done since you came here was whine and complain and nitpick....

Thank you, move on, and have a Merry Christmas...

Oh, and if you are leaving, why are you still logged on?

tankme 12-11-2015 05:43 PM

Exactly the same reasoning I use for not playing golf. Hobbies are supposed to be fun. Golf is all about my mistakes... :)

Some folks just can't take the pressure of RC tanking. It can wear on you, but you just have to be tougher than the plastic tank, you just have to be that hobby ninja we all strive to be.

Overpriced???? My mate bought a £50 HL Pantiger 10 years ago and he's still having fun with it. I've probably spent a few £1000 in that time but that was my choice.

Black Sails 12-11-2015 06:33 PM

So, what are you doing with your tanks???

RichJohnson 12-11-2015 07:01 PM

He probably threw them in the trash to spite himself. Either way, Phil was circling first. You'll have to take up a flight pattern behind him.

TheBennyB 12-11-2015 07:53 PM

Yup, a definite shame. Wondering what he is comparing these absolute engineering abortions too? Guessing this is the person I see at a hobby store paying to have a servo horn replaced on their RTR Traxxas.

TheBennyB 12-11-2015 08:07 PM

kidding aside, why the sudden fallout Darkearth? Looks like you had some nice builds going. We all get frustrated and occasionally I take time off of
tanks and play with other more instant gratification r/c such as crawlers, basher trucks, etc to recharge my head batts.

if at first you don't succeed, ....skydiving is not for you..

We say here in the States, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. :p Thank God he never attempted a true scratch build like many of Rex Ross's or Tanque's beautiful builds or try to convert a Juckenberg E-100! Talk bout going postal. I had to take a break from that one or risk going on some terrorism watch lists..

Wonder what ever happened to that one E-100 proto from Hooben or was it the Maus?....How much would you pay Cruiser?? If nothing else than to stop the night sweats.
