    Ok! Not that I'll actually buy it...don't have the budget for a comp rig, even a marked down one!

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Well, I think I know a way to get YOU into shape too! The solution: Run after 6omph+ Outcast (I'm assuming you have the Outcast 8s EXB), alongside with your dog! That should get that "arse" in shape! 🤣🤣 Huh, cool way to let him get some exercise! Does he chase them because they move (fast), or...

    For real? I remember him saying how much he liked it, to his surprise, and how the '24s are so much cheaper and more light hearted than those expensive comp rigs he used to have. Can't really tell if you're joking or not, the "🤣" emoji is quite useful for that kind of stuff...lol

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    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...

    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! :( If I were a racer, and you offered me a chance to try the mighty Xmaxx, I'd be over there in a heartbeat! In "10 minutes they were sold", and maybe a basher or...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    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...

    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!

    Fight to the death, this forum is only big enough for ONE "Stupidest/Dumbest RC Thing You've Done" thread! 🤣🤣 Just kidding! Well, both threads have different stuff on them, so I think each one has it's place, nobody go and remove one of them! And like @StoopidOme said, this bizzare species...

    I miss read your previous message, 🤣🤦‍♂️ It just started flying by itself? Strange...but what do I know about planes?! "...just glad there was nobody standing there at the time." Now THEN you'd have to do some explaining!

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    That reminds me of this joke I once saw, I can't remember what video it was, but a guy was reviewing this road bike or road bike tire (I don't even remember how/why a Mountain Biker like myself was watching that, probably because I was subbed to that channel), and the website or tire said "XYZ...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    You mean the ball screw that attached the steering link to the servo horn backed out? At least you didn't mangle the servo horn spline, or worse yet, the servo's spline! Could you use a coarse threaded screw instead, of maybe drill the servo horn hole out like .5mm and do the same to the...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Tire gluing isn't that bad, I actually made a thread where I asked about it. I repaired some parts of my buggy tires (where the stock glue wore down) with some Gorilla Super Glue, it's not pretty, and maybe not the strongest, but I haven't had any tires come off yet. That was my first time...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Oh man! Was it kinda funny at least? It looks like the tires just shifted on the rim a lot...make sure to sand down and re-scuff that rim before gluing! That honestly very good on your part, too many people don't know when to call it quits and go home!

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Who needs 4 wheels, 3 wheels for life! 🤣🤣 Just kidding (obviously). Oh yeah, I remember seeing that truck on Axial's website, it's a cool little scale "rock racer"! The bumper looks pretty low profile, must've been steep dirt mound! That's really nice of Horizon to do that, that's on par with...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Too steep of a jump, huh? That must've been kinda brutal, the car's barreling down on the jump, starts the transition, but then *SNAP* it stops dead, and the frumpy bumpy is GONE! 🤣🤣 That's one of the reasons why I don't send my cars of any older jump-like thing, I think it through (mostly)...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    The DumboRC RX/TX is an awesome basher radio, and it's affordable! The X6 is the best version, as it has two more channels, with the 6th channel being an optional gyro (the gyro comes turned off, (vs. the X4, which is about $8 cheaper, but has 4 channels, and no gyro) you press the little bind...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Oh dang! That must've been frustrating and possibly swear-inducing! Was this on a nitro? That reminds me, I need to figure out how do set up the fail safe on my DumboRC X6 TX/RX, it might already been enabled🤷‍♂️ I don't want a run away (I run 2 smaller scale electric rigs)! If I do, at least...

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Oh no, I hope it wasn't a very expensive ESC! I also hope you didn't blow/short anything else! Maybe you had the wires twisted or bent, and that's how you connected it wrong. The worst thing that could've happened is shorting the LiPo, which needless to say, would be very bad!

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    Oh, next time have a piece of tape on each, one reading "Nitro Fuel" and the other saying "Iced Tea - Only for Human Consumption"! I mean, if caffeine give us humans a "performance boost", then it should do the same for cars, right? 🤣🤣 Did the exaust smell faintly of tea?
  20. The_RC_Dude

    Dumbest RC related thing you have ever done?

    I'm not even going to ask how the iced tea got in there...do you store your ice tea in fuel bottles? 🤣🤣 Perhaps all you Nitro guys ought to try that trick, maybe ice tea as pre-run oil gives your car an extra performance gain! 🤣🤣
