It seems, buying an HSP buggy ! Not the best ! But..... if I hadn't started with an HSP I wouldn't be enjoying all the others I have now !
Great site, thanks for having me.

because a lot of dumb poop happensWhy do we have two of these threads?
Hello, I am a complete NOOB when it comes to FORUMS; but have been doing RC since the very early 60's. You are SPOT-ON about merging the two THREADS. I just do not know how to do it ! Would a FORUM MODERATOR be able to help? This THREAD is very useful for people like me. Do you know of anyone in GENERAL CHAOS who could help? For what it is worth, CHAOS is an Ancient Greek word used to describe the UNFORMED STUFF that GOD used to form the Universe. Is there anyone in GC building or running a +50 Mev particle accelerator ? Maybe there is someone in GC tinkering with Nikola Tesla's Wireless Transmission of sizeable amounts of raw electrical power ( e.g. a few billion kilowatts ), and cheap easy to fabricate and safe room temp SUPERCONDUCTORS ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity ) ? Besides RC, have a personal fascination with RADIOASTRONOMY, THE GRAND UNIFIED FIELD THEORY ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Unified_Theory ) along with Einstein's SPOOKY INTERACTIONS ( https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00120-6#:~:text=Albert Einstein famously said that,his death, experiments confirmed this. ), and other esoteric high energy physics oddities.I was wondering what was going on. I started a thread about this last year. I thought this was it lol. @NCNitro can we merge this into the thread in general chaos please.
I thought this thread kind of doubled somewhere.I was wondering what was going on. I started a thread about this last year. I thought this was it lol. @NCNitro can we merge this into the thread in general chaos please.
Fight to the death, this forum is only big enough for ONE "Stupidest/Dumbest RC Thing You've Done" thread! Just kidding!Why do we have two of these threads?
So you gave it a few laps, without the chassis brace, which allowed the chassis to flex, and the diff to come loose? Dang, that sucks! On my buggy, you basically need the top deck/brace in for it to work, as the ESC sits on the brace!Yestready I was fitting my ESC fan and had to unscrew the chassis brace for clearance, my son was crying to go and drive the car....
1-2-3 up and downs and the body was pooping out wtf? The 4th time the spur gear gave in

the screws for the chassis brace holds the differtential also OPS!
Worst part is that I dont have a spare one and weekend fun is lost!
Oof man...that could happen to me, especially because I have one of the most, if not the most popular budget basher radio for my buggy, the DumboRC X6! Except I have no one to bash with (not really, anyway, none of my friends own RCs yet, and the random people I have met either ran Arrma stuff, or the one other guy just straight out walked out on me, we were supposed to have a little blast in a parking lot).I'm sure I've done worse things over the years but this would be the most recent. Met up last weekend at the park with a buddy from work. I brought my outcast and he had a kraton. Both of us using flysky GT5's. We took a short brake, I picked up what I thought was my transmitter and ran his car straight into the side of my Lexus. Broke his shock tower and dented my door, the whole time staring at my outcast wondering why it wasn't responding. Oops
Yeah, sometimes I thought this was my thread, and that's why I respond a lot this thread How do you "merge" two threads, what happens? I think it'll be easier to just leave the threads be, two threads won't hurt! I know you're all about not duplicating threads, but still.I was wondering what was going on. I started a thread about this last year. I thought this was it lol. @NCNitro can we merge this into the thread in general chaos please.
I get confused sometimes too, thinking this is my thread!I thought this thread kind of doubled somewhere.
There seems to be a lot of guys local to my area that track race but not a lot of basher guys. At least, none that want to play with me . There's 2 guys at work that are into it, but only because I dragged them in by letting them play with my Xmaxx. 10 minutes of that and they were both sold. One of them learned fast and seems to be pretty good at repairing his own stuff. The other guy not so much. I end up fixing a lot of his bad landings for him . I hope he gets better soon.....Oof man...that could happen to me, especially because I have one of the most, if not the most popular budget basher radio for my buggy, the DumboRC X6!

Other than that, my Dumbo has some custom, handmade mods (like all my cars...), which consists of a hot-glued on phone bracket (for recording crappy footage that I never upload ), a DIY steering wheel extension for one handed driving (cut down thumb tack and hot glue...do any of you want to see my mods on the radio?), and some tape with Sharpie ticks under the cover, to mark my dial settings for steering trim, servo EPA, and one for the gyro dial on top of the radio.
It's cool that your co-worker is into RC, no less has a similar Arrma rig! I've seen 2 Arrma Outcast 8s', which is the most I've seen of one vehicle, "in the wild" (ie. in person and not online), I've seen a Typhon (not sure if it was 4s or 6s), two crawlers from a distance (willing to bet at least one of them was a TRX-4), and that guy that walked out on me had a....possibly a Traxxas or Arrma mashup? I think it was built from parts of multiple different cars.
I'll bet both of you were a bit pissed...a dent in your car door, and he's done bashing for the day, before he even started! Did you get that dent pulled out?
Oh, boo-hoo! Consider yourself lucky though, you at least have RC guys to chat with, I have no one to do that with, in person, here!There seems to be a lot of guys local to my area that track race but not a lot of basher guys.

I hear good things about the DumboRC stuff. Do you like it? I'd like to see the radio mods. I like seeing other peoples ingenuity. Gives me ideas. I need to make a thumb extension so I can drive one handed a little easier. Sometimes I just don't want to put my beer down, you know?
I did get my dent fixed. I work at a dealership and we have a body shop on site. I fixed the PDR guys A.C. and he made the dent disappear. Gotta love the barter system. We both had just got the FSGT5's and have since added stickers so we can tell them apart.
Have you tried facebook to find people to bash with? I personally don't do social media but I hear there are a lot of RC groups established on there. Might be able to find a group to run with.
At least it didn't go to some random dude on the internet, and you can always *cough* pester *cough* SlowGreen about its condition, and if he's been taking care of it!Selling my customized cz4 super to @slowngreen
Oh yeah, totally not, nothing to see or read here!I never held a car and remote in the same hand rashing my arm, left the car on to kill a $100 lipo, spun a live axle by drill to break it in only to let go and see a bearing go past 50 feet 4 months ago, hit my self with a car, let a new engine have a smoke, or zip tie and paperclip 10 parts of driveshaft to mske an extended one! Nope havent done anything rc related like that.
It can be, if you let it get that way. I know people who it seems like they live on social media. Me, on the other hand, i only use it for the local RC group periodically, Marketplace when I'm on the hunt for something, which isnt often, and messenger to chat with my brother because he is 19 hours away, and hates talking on the phone. I might spend a total of an hour a week on FB, and i dont use any of the other social media apps.I don't do much social media either, I don't do FB actually. It's a rabbit hole, I've heard, once you get into it, it's hard to come out! I'll consider it though, and there are some great Wltoys groups on there, and I have a Wltoys 144001, so that helps?
Obviously you don't know @slowngreen very well. He probably kept it about 2-3 weeks, at the most. That's about as long as he keeps any rc lol.At least it didn't go to some random dude on the internet, and you can always *cough* pester *cough* SlowGreen about its condition, and if he's been taking care of it!
And good think you didn't sell it to someone names "FastPollution"
Obviously you don't know @slowngreen very well. He probably kept it about 2-3 weeks, at the most. That's about as long as he keeps any rc lol.
I see, you're good at moderation! The thing is, well, I'll tell you: Whatever I'm interested in (mainly my hobbies), I have a tendency to really get into it, and be a part of it. Basically, I don't just "do" my hobbies now and then, a weekend here, skip a week there, ect. I tend to do it more than that, if you get what I mean. I'm dedicated, you could say.It can be, if you let it get that way. I know people who it seems like they live on social media.

I mean, he isn't a man of many words like me That's crazy! I keep my RCs for, uh, eternity?Obviously you don't know @slowngreen very well. He probably kept it about 2-3 weeks, at the most. That's about as long as he keeps any rc lol.
