I think I let my dislike for most people sway my decisions, LOL. Sounds like fun, I surely am up for that!Racing is a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the competitive element to it. At that time, in my mind RC cars were a sport rather than a hobby.
As I got some experience under my belt, I got top tier motors, cells, ESC's, radios, servos, chargers and cars. A lot of time was invested in attending various rounds and different clubs. So yes - affiliated racers and sponsored, professional racers do take things very seriously indeed.
However, that shouldn't put anyone off trying their hand at club racing - it's so much fun. Addictive. Much like the 'attack of the 1 last go' that people experience when enjoying video games.
Unfortunately, as with most things, you will find politics and awkward people can reduce the fun. Racing for me started in mid 80's all the way through to about 2012. It was a blast!
Time attack would be a great thing to do on your track!All you need is a stopwatch.
I am thinking about attending some meetings again soon, but we'll see.
Erm, yes - my Bruggy has a nose/face!!
It's a 'distinguished' nose.
IDK, but I know I come off like a douche sometimes.. no offense intended to @blaster27 or anyone else for taking pride in their stuff, or how it looks. I can respect it. We all have our own values and opinions.
Thanks for the support guys,
My reply to you is this. Uh, I buy em for me not you. You can beat the pToo nice for me. LOL. It look's awesome for sure but uh, I buy em to use, not show off or stare at..to each their own, as always!
out of them. I don't care. You can not clean them, And do what you want. I don't care. I never criticize other users for doing what they want to do with em. If my machines are too clean or not run enough for your liking, that's your problem. LOL. Another question is this. Why would a person want to take a machine and abuse it? My answer ? I don't care. My $ my machine. To each their own.
I agree, or so I thought.. I recently bought a v1 rtr K8S. It came through with the 1250kv 4985 Firma and 23/47 gearing.. not crazy of course, but considering the original v1 came with 17/47 gearing and the weight of the K8S, I thought for sure it would cog on startup with 23/47. No, silky smooth..
I wasn't impressed by the overall speed so I dropped a Firma 5687 1100kv in with 26/47 gearing (all I had that fits), I already had the 1100 before the K8S, so might as well try it. With 26/47, not much top speed difference, but it sure gets there much faster. Now, I'm really curious to try the 4985 again since I also realized my brand new Zeee batts were crap out of the box. I don't really go big on power or speed with my stuff, and with limited gearing options on hand, I can't help but wonder if the 4985 might just be a good choice for my use.
Will I go back? IDK, not likely, LOL.

I had to take a snap shot of that
I got a few mail boxes id love to drop them reports in ..that's epic thanks for sharing.
Hey brushed models do have their place. But its so easy to outgrow it. Let's face it, it is budget stuff.When I was a complete noob I had NO idea about brushed vs. BrushlessI remember first coming here for advice when the 550 motor in my Senton Mega died and everyone was like just convert it brushless, and I kept saying "Noooo, I want to stay brushed!"
But noooow, yeah I wouldn't consider brushed anything, unless it was a crawler maybe. Thank God for growth and wisdom lol
Well, truth be told - I was a chairman of an affiliated club for a number of years. I saw membership grow from about 40-50 members - all the way up to about 200.I think I let my dislike for most people sway my decisions, LOL. Sounds like fun, I surely am up for that!
There are no stupid questions here man. Arrma Forum is a bunch of good folks that will be happy to answer any questions or help in any way we can without judgment. We were all new at some point so why judge someone for it?
I cannot stand the setup of Facebook period. Seems like a bunch of trolls all over as well. There is a ton of experience on this board and it shows by folks responses. We have our silly moments but if you need an answer you will get a proper one and very quickly usually.
You really did land in one of the best online places to discuss rc or just bs in general. We won't judge for non arrma rc either. Most of us own a variety of brands and are willing to help with any we c
So we call members what we want to call them? Because????????? Someone else did.Thought it was King Blitz.
So my reply to you is this, you are a Putz.
. Happy New Year. 
You made me smile, after a bad day at the hospital. You just made my day.
Perhaps.. I apologized, that's all I can offer you. Happy New Year to you as well. Hope everyone is okay. I'd like to bury the hatchet if that's okay? You can call me a Putz, my wife calls me worse..and you're both right!So my reply to you is this, you are a Putz.
✌
Pre-brushless racing meant cutting brushes, zapping cans, truing comms, comm drops, all manner of complications. But - lots of people agree they take off smoother than brushless - thus better suited to crawling (which for the record - I know nothing about).
Maybe we should all send copies of this to Traxxas the next time they try and shut someone down for speaking their mind
they might start a class action lawsuit
