He wanted to keep it clean and put it back on his shelf to look pretty. I was going to explain to him the inherit traits of 2 stroke engines but he was in full temper tantrum mode, so I just said, "good luck" and rolled away

Shame on him for not knowing that you have to tune an engine, shame on him for not knowing to carry a temp gun, shame on him for pitching a tantrum, but all the signs are there for an unresonable idiot, thus you should have warned him. I mean if he doen't know any of that stuff, how is he gonna know that doing something "gross" is a good thing in this case.
My piss off list in no particular order.
1) I hate my passion to take a excellent +10 year old design (maybe older IDK how long it was on the drawing board) and try to make it compete with 2moro's tech truggies. The Maxx really did change everything but it is ancient! Still I continue...
2) Nitro guys who know nothing of electric, and like to show and tell it. Most I've seen know almost nothing of nitro, their own "art".
3) Soldering
4) Glueing
5) lack of real standards in our industry, particularly with batts.
6) Prices of specific types of items
7) Rarity of tracks within 2 hours
8) Shipping
9) There are good noobs. I was one once, still am with some stuff. Then there are bad noobs. Thus bad noobs.
10) bad deals
Still I love this hobby, the facts that make me happy far out way this and any other pissy lists.
Edit: Oh yeah and faulty switches on the MMM. And the MMM case... and the fan.
