5. Hack drivers
6. Noobs who wont admit they are noobs
7. Over priced components
8. gluing tires
9. installing diffs backwards

Yeah, I hate that too. Sometimes I'll do it just to help support the LHS, but 99% of the time, I'll just order it myself and let them know it.

when little kids ask if they can drive your rc.....i made a huge mistake once and as soon as i handed the tx over, the kid grabbed it tight so he wouldn't drop it. that's wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't squeeze the throttle. sidewalk at ~40mph can really take it's toll on an xtm nitro x-cellerator. it cost me $50 to fix it, then i sold it.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

Non RCers (and yes some RCers) who think elecrtrics are "cute toys"...

Let me hit you in the ankle with it, we'll see how cute you think it is then

In no particular order:-

1. old people who want to talk to you about their old truck whislt you're trying to concentrate on driving.
2. crowds of people who insist upon standing infront of you so that you cant see where you're truck is headed as you drive past.
3. seaguls (dive bomb the truck & you, I swear...).
4. Traxxas forum noobs who have achieved the status of TurnBuckle Jnr by basically spamming & talking non-sense; take an electrical engineering course, then I'll take advice from you.
5. People who have taken a degree course and insist that they know more about proper r/c setup, even though they dont actually own a truck or BL system etc ( posting something like "bla blah IR^V blah blah" is all well and good, but nothing beats actual experience or Eagletree data).
6. People with 99% Integy trucks who insist its solid as a rock; why no scratches or dirt then? Because you never do anything to put it under stress duh, so ofcourse it looks good as new..
7. Noobs who ask 'what am best motor/esc/lipo' when there are already 3 threads asking the same question, on the same page.
8. Noobs who say 'my truck doesnt work, whats wrong?' without posting any other info to help diagnose the problem.
9. People who quote pictures ( or lots of pictures ), especially when they are posting immediately after that said picture post ( I know some forums where doing this gets you warning points... ).
10. Customs charges, though specifically the ~£10 handling charge that Royalmail or Parcelfarce slap on your goods after the Vat & import fees; you would have had to handle it regardless, so whats the handling charge for? Bunch of cock-knockers.

Yep, think that covers it quite well...
