I swear I seen somewhere Patrick saying the controllers were ready and they were waiting for plastic. Man I would've gotten one naked .

Yes on the rcgroups thread - I keep prodding there once in a while but silence is the only answer now...

Patrick is the worst at opening his mouth and leading people on

Yes, they were ready. But now they are not. It kinda sucks knowing more info than I can give sometimes.

If I had the manufacturing capability of Castle you would see the most amazing ESC ever. I also did the same with my controllers, but my controllers are done and it only needs the software. I also don't have control over the guy that is making it so I have to wait for him. I don't know what Castle's case is, but they should be coming out with better controllers.

My mother was standing under (2ft below) one of those 300w outdoor flood lights. We were talking to some friends when everything started going blue and the conversation stopped. Then bang the bulb exploded sending red hot glass into her hair. It stunk of burning hair. Thing was she thought it was funny.

Earth leakage protection is a great thing too. My dog is still alive today because of it. He was throwing around a stuffed teddy and he bit clean through the 240v power cord to my laptop when the teddy landed on it. Had never seen him move so fast.

I also really don't think a HV controller is any where near as dangerous as a motor bike and look who they sell those too. I'm not saying people who ride bikes are idiots but idiots do get there hands on them and it often ends really badly.

I think we all have to remember where there is a want there is a way. The government bands assault weapons yet most crimes in the US are done by people with assault weapons that have had their rights to having a gun taken away. Just because something is dangerous does not mean it’s not obtainable. Stupidity also plays a factor. We have all been there and done something stupid. I know we all push our luck and limits. It’s the shifting of the blame I can’t stand. A good example is New Orleans when Katrina hit. Most of the people that complained about the government not doing anything were the same people were warned that a storm was coming that would flood the city. These same people decided by them selves to stay and wait it out. Yet they complain that the government didn’t do anything. Then they needed money, new homes, and new jobs??? What the heck is this all about? I then look at Denver Co. that winter got a bad snow storm. They got over 9 feet of snow. I don’t remember them complaining about the government not doing anything. They dug them selves out and went on. We can also look at the racism issue. The only people that keep racism alive are the ones that think every one else is racist. The voice of the people needs to stand up together. It’s a proven fact that a man takes 100 people hostage with a “Knife” only 2 people will stand up to him. The 98 others will do as he says. It doesn’t matter that they have him out numbered or that he only has a knife, its just human nature. It’s my opinion but things will not change. They will only get worse. Things have gotten bad when 1 man can remove the 10 commandment from a court house because he doesn’t believe in god yet he is willing to use money that states “in god we trust.” He took away 100’s of other right to see the 10 commandments yet they said nothing. I was glad to see your words Linc. There are not many who stand in the 2% range.

The whole Katrina thing made me think of an email I received a while back:

In 1927, a major unnamed hurricane struck the city of New Orleans. It was actually more powerful than Katrina. The scope of damage was much more severe because this particular hurricane actually hit the city. Katrina missed it by 25 miles.

The interesting difference is the response the government gave in 1927 to those hurricane refugees, compared to the refugees of Katrina, err- I meant "survivors" ---(sorry Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson). How much aid did the government dispense at that time? Zero, nada, not one dime. And you know how much aid the army offered? The only aid from the army came in the form of loaning the city of New Orleans tents and camp stoves. Ironically, later, the army sued the city for reimbursement. So what was the big difference here?

It was the attitude the people had towards the government at that time, compared to the attitude that Katrina's victims have. The 1927 "survivors" expected nothing from the government. 80 years ago, people understood that the government was there to "protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Today, Americans expect the government to "provide life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." That's a major difference. And now, a week later, when the government failed on all three levels of local, state, and federal to provide for their needs, Americans were sorely disappointed

Reverend Jackson and reverend Sharpton spend their opportunities arguing about semantics." They shouldn't be called refugees, they should be called survivors". Unfortunately, they missed the boat. It was a perfect opportunity to deliver a very basic message to their people. Fact, if you are poor and uneducated in America, this is what happens. Fact, if you depend on the government, you will be sorely disappointed. Fact, if you are poor in America, there is no reason for you to be uneducated. Its free! 12 grades. And if you really apply yourself, there is enough grants and assistance out there for higher education, which will raise you above the poverty level. And no longer will you depend on the government and be disappointed. Its unfortunate that this lesson will be missed by most of the "survivors".

A couple of other points should be brought to light. G. W. has asked the congress for 50 billion dollars worth of aid for the "survivors" and clean up of the city. Interesting isn't it? One million people displaced and out of work in that city, sitting all day in shelters, waiting for the next handout. Of course, the thought never occurred to anyone that just maybe, "hey, we should give all these folks jobs filling sand bags to plug the levees and clearing trees." (Wonder how many of them would want government aid if they had to work for it?)

And finally, they haven't hardly begun the task of picking up dead bodies, and already the finger pointing has started. The congressional hearings and probes will go forever. Millions will be spent on a wasted diatribe of a bipartisan "witch hunting expedition"- all of which will be nonsense. If you're a democrat, you are going to blame the president. If you are a republican, you are going to blame the mayor and the governor. This is another case in point of how the government will once again fail its people, they could have spent the millions educating the poor and misplaced citizens of New Orleans so that they could go out and get a new and better life, instead of wasting it on useless blame investigations.

Racism here in the USA is funny, mainly because there were slaves in Brasil as well and my great grandfather lived through the end of it. I think around 3 million slaves were brought to Brasil and far less to the USA and in Brasil we don't have much racism like here. I agree with you 100% on what you said.

You are correct, I will even go as far to say that if there are 100 people hostage and I was one of them, I would consider myself the most important. I would still do everything in my power to stand against anyone who wants to supress me, be it physically or mentally. And I would try to align myself with other like-minded people. There comes a time where you must disregard everything except your principles. And you must understand that all of the talk in the world does not matter if you are dead. That is why action is necessary to ensure that our society can continue in a postive direction. I tend to stand on the more extreme side of what I consider necessary for the liberty of this society. Time to get off my soap box.

My advise is to buy some guns and stock up on ammo, my observations over the last 5 years have shown that ammo has steadily increased in price, certain calibers have trippled in price. And speaking with a large volume independent ammo dealer, demand is at a high point. You cannot loose money on ammo right now, so it is at least a good monetary investment. And it may be an incredibly useful bartering tool should the whole thing end up in the can!

Do you think it comes from the "power" population, or people like Al Sharpton more?

The fading power of the right to Bear Arms is frightening to me. The right is to protect the people from the government, so we can protect ourselves. Guns are what made the US.

Racism, is a term stupid people use to describe why intelligent people do not like them. It also applies to people who have extremely low self esteem. I then by definition am a racist, I can't stand stupidity and have a high self esteem (often mistaken as a "superiority complex"). It is just another word that has lost its meaning. If you do not hire somebody, suddenly your are a racist, or bigamist, or cyst, or some crap like that. I amazes me that our country prides itself in selection the correct color person for the job, instead of the most qualified/experienced. Too many soccer moms, trying to tell me how to wipe my butt! Oh well, I at least I have the dedication and firearms to make the best out of it!

Once again an excellent example of some one trying to keep us on topic. I just don’t understand him. Do you Linc???

[suicideneil]

I think we went from ESC > stupid people hurting them selves > people expecting the government to do stuff for them > supposed racism issues > stocking up on guns to prepare for WW3 or Zombies taking over the world.

Interesting though, the politcal correctness brigade have completely taken over the UK in the last decade or so; dustbin men are now 'refuse collection operatives', you cant call people 'luv' (as in "hello luv, how are you?"), and christian symbols and icons have to be removed from buildings for fear of upsetting or descriminating against other religions.

If you ask me, the world already has gone down the pan...
