PraetoR Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I think what Noj was getting at, is the sheer volume of very basic questions that could easily be google'd. Like "how do I use green slime", "what effect does a bigger pinion have" etc. These are all things you should be searching, yourself, first... then ask the other forum members, if you are still stuck, or can't get any answers. People are always happy to help, but if it's like machine-gun questions... not so much. Now, I have a question for you... what is your deal with Traxxas??

Popular Post .AJ. Posted February 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2016 Blimey, give the bloke a break, just because he owns a few RC's doesn't mean hes a "expert" nothing wrong with asking a few questions and no need to alienate him..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) No-one is trying to alienate him, or anyone else. However, a lot of people have asked basic questions in the past, only to be presented with "use the search button", or "google it". Sometimes, those answers are a bit harsh, others; they are completely appropriate. Edited February 7, 2016 by Praet0r87 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm sat on the fence here, agreeing with both sides. However, with that many cars in his fleet, I'd expect a bit more knowledge. On the flip side of that, I talk to a Canadian quite a bit, he has a handful of different cars, including a Summit, but insists on running them all on nimh because he feels he's not ready for lipo yet! Each to their own. Look at Vas on Aussierc, he made a vid (possibly on the Kraton, I can't remember) and I still remember those words to this day; "right, I've refilled the CD with 500,000wt oil, not sure what that's gonna do, but let's find out!"! He, of all people, should have enough experience to know what that's going to do to a cars handling/driving experience! Clearly not. I'll stop babbling now, I'm way off topic! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... Im 18 and have been into RC for a few years which is why i have the 4 cars, I'm full time Uni and work. I simply don't have time to take the car apart into a million peaces to learn its internal workings. I enjoy bashing and thats about it. Once again I'm sorry for some of the silly questions but thank you to those of you who have provided great help 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often commented on his vids....esp the mT ish ones.....bushmaster too i think it was as well, "why not put thicker fluid in the CD?"... as u can here them riffing out big time!..... i think he does not often have time to setup his cars particularly well as he has soooooooooooooo many!

They look like the go on or around the front bumper. Looked on Google images. No one has seemed to fitted them yet. Have fitted all bonnet grilles. It's just for curiosity really. So has anyone got any ideas? Am sick of searching interweb now. It's doing my head in. Help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To ask the questions where the answer isn't a simple Google search away and chat with like minded hobbyists I guess. Do you only use the forum to ask questions?

So it helps to find where they go when body shell is off the chassis. BUT, FYI. They don't fit that well, you have to bend them around the inside the shell a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
