Loud, smoke, burns you when you flip it over, etc. Quite, fast, etc. Depressing that these little people are being labeled as: America'a future.
I didn't see BrianG list this so I am going to help him out:

All the different size splines on servos and that each require a different count or size of servo horn. I agree.
I 12th or 20th what ever the count is now. The LHS that sells 1/8th scale rcs but doesn't even carry a 1/8th scale clutch bell. Plenty of trx parts though.
The ridiculous cost of some things in the hobby. Come on folks 35.00 for a pair of 5x10 bearings? Fioroni Tractive Differential - 204.99, the look on your wifes face would be priceless.
When one side of the hobby puts down the other side. Escpecially from the peson that has never tried the other side. Yeah I'm talking about you! If your running with the brushless folks there's no need to say ill words against the otherside to fit in with us. Hell we all know the brushless side has a higher intellect, is more mature, rational, and genrally deals with things in a more logical manner. That is what makes us better and we don't have try and prove it by childish name calling. They don't need any help from us to degrade them any farther then they do by theirselves. I talk from experience. As soon as I break out a Nitro to run for a while. I get a little more stupid, and don't think as clearly. For example I may mess with the lsn and the hsn at the same time. Dumb huh? I rarely cuss when I am running my brushless setup, but hell I blurt out words that would make a two bit whore blush and run away when I break out my nitro rcs. Sometines the foul words can last up to five minutes non stop. On top of all that negative, I tend to slouch more when running a nitro RC. So just leave the names calling to yourself and relish at the though that their 10 minutes of fun surrounded by 20 minutes of preperation H and all that is swollowed up by the hour of frustration that turns out to be a bad glow plug. Then some ice cream on top, there is the after run cleanup procedure that brings a smile to every brushless rc owners face when they unplug thier li-po for the night. That has more satifaction then any verbal assualt.
Enough rambling.
Good thread topic Ben. Getting some of this off our chests should help make the holidays more enjoyable for those around us. Let's grab our good buddy Mr. Jim Beam and the chainsaw and go cut down that Christmas tree that's been giving us problems. If it's in your house then who's to say a Birch Alder isn't a Christmas Tree.

I am tempted to fly to Washington state just to see you "try" to get a nitro tuned... I'll bring the Beam... You furnish the chainsaw. Sounds like a good combo!
