Whats up man?whats going on? I have a feeling of who your talking about. That said what you were saying above. What is it that you need help with? Because there hasn't been a ? Or comment about any short of RC. Except you saying this has nothing to do with RCs. Learning to deal with people is a life thing not a kid or adult think. How old are you bud if you don't mind me asking. Because I'm 43 and I still till this day don't get along with people/society and the rules. Just a little on me. 43 NO college degrees.I have ADD/ADHD and anger miss management.That's why I'm in the construction field. I don't have to deal with to many people on a daily basis. Because I tend to go off on people if they have something to say and don't bit my tounge. Or have a filter on what I say. Nore do I care. About what someone else has to saying or what they do. And don't need or look for someones approval. I've worked my way up thew the fire protection/ fire sprinkler field. And now I'm a supervisor. Maken 6 figures. And do what I want when I want. As long as the wife is ok with it. LOL but I don't understand what your trying to do or get help with because there is no talk about what RC car/truck you have other then. You saying nitro motor and your getting fuel. And that you don't get along and have trouble dealing with or haven people like you. I honestly couldn't tell you what's wrong with the situation. As everyone has their own poop to deal with. So what is going on. I don't understand what you are looking to get out of joining this forum. I mean I joined recently my self. I read the forums. For a while now. And I found the RCT. Has got to be the best out there. Do to the fact it's all about RCs. And not just one company being better then the other. Or be taken down because you said something bad about their brand. The people/guys in here know their poop and all have yrs of experience in the RC as a whole hobby. And truly love to talk anything RC related. And are open to all no matter what you do or drive. And are more then willing to help any way they can. Even if they all don't agree. But that's what it's about. Gettting Other people's opinions insight and experiences and veiws related to RC world. So I'm just trying to understand what's going on and what your looking for or to get from joining the forum? If life and dealing with people. Can't help do to people suck. About a RC what RC do u have a problem with? Please help me / us understand bud.
Well I disagree I mean dealing with life is both a human thing as well as a kid and adult thing. The only thing that kids should not be dealing with is being homeless or things that adults do that kids should not be doing perversely. But yes. dealing with people is a part of all ages. if you went to school basically you'll find at the cafeteria or at recess or just your peer group a lot of the things that goes on somewhat reflects the adult world. If you remember I don't know but I remember a lot of conversations that kids have about sports and things is not much different than what people adult I mean doing bars.
Getting to your question some of the things that I post it is under the chaos forms. which means that if you post anything under the chaos section of this forums, it allows you to talk about things that's not related to this site. Like on here for instance this particular threat is under the chaos which clearly says you can talk about anything other than RC. And no I'm not using this as a way to try to make a crutch or nothing that other people have said basically. The way I express things is different because well charles darwin says I quote you become what your environment teaches you, unquote.
Something's I will answer in the conversation you created with me.
Well I find this form to be the best too. It's the only forms that seem like I get somewhere. Other places be focusing on electric and stuff like that you know. No beef with the forms rC talk is good with me. If I didn't had any respect for it while I would have done stuff otherwise to be honest
Also I've seen and been in websites that's about RC and it didn't serve me as well. Either if it was based on the next best thing like on some websites, they focus more on electric some focus more on planes. Then they do other stuff so it's sort of you know when I go on RC place I want all RC. And I chose RC talk for that reason which you have said and your response to me that I'm reading now.
I mean bias websites like Traxxas who if you talk about some other brand a restrictive or just plain people that just takes sit down simply because you mentioned something about some company or bread. And I know this within the year this site had nothing to do with that other stuff.
And there are people on here that know their s*** yes. I went on here one time why was breaking in my buggy. And people gave me information such as it's best to change the glow plug after you break in the engine even if the glow plug is in good shape. Because it could affect the condition of the plug if you change your engine condition as far as turning the engine for the first time
I Like to talk about rC related stuff but I have a very limited thing to talk about because only all the few items. I was actually thinking about thinking to do a live video of building a kit that I purchased recently which is a 1/8 scale kit I chose 1/8 scale electric because what's up my saw at the hobby shop. 4 years ago to be exact. I hope someday I can advance to the point where I can actually be like some people on here when they be able to help other people hope I can advance like that. Right now things are kind of limited with me as far as what's in my locker room so to speak.
I joined this form approximately a year ago because I wanted to get into Nitro and been trying to for about 15 years. But just wasn't getting enough information to really understand it. So I had a rc10gt could never get it to run as far as staying on idling. it was the Year 2007. But before then. I discovered a hobby shop in the mall before I knew what a hobby shop was. And 2003. I didn't really know that there was actually RC car versions of model engines until 2003 when there used to be a hobby shop in the mall in Pennsylvania. And I was intrigued.
comes to mind and prices like that was unheard of with my mother. Also was discouraged from getting a Nitro but I said I always wanted something that depicted real cars. Originally I went to the Hobby Shop to try to find airplanes that had real engines on them. And how I knew about that was something that I discovered in 1998. I ain't know nothing about anything with models and RC stuff. So I my mama buy me a lot of Star Wars figures. So I ran into this one thing word is X-Wing thinking fly in the air and my mom bought it. I know what I'm on a rocket was and she didn't know what a model rocket was. But the next thing I knew I said what is this stuff and how do you put it together as far as the pieces. We taped it up because we just didn't know how to put together we didn't see any nuts and bolts or nothing. Then I found the rocket engines are for I knew what they were and I sent mom what is this stuff and then she read it it said it was flammable. And took it the rocket thing back lol.
I then later learned what a model rocket was I then later learned that the pieces to get to put that you have to assemble together as stuff you had the glue but this was new to me. That was later on after the fact that I got into this model stuff as far as RC or just models. I saw booklet and grabbed it out of the box you know cuz my mother was going to take back the Star Wars model rocket that we couldn't figure out how to put together anyway and looked at one of the things that came with it which said warning flammable, this booklet had like all these different airplanes and I thought they were all RC. And my mama read the book to me and talk about 049 engines. So it's like a Cox and Estes booklet that came with that Star Wars Kit.
And ever since then well I want to find a store that sold this stuff and I thought it was Walmart because that's usually when I get all my toys from as a child. That's what I thought that since there was an advertisement of other products that this estes people do I thought I would find them on the Shelf where I found that thing.
Well it was a few years and I couldn't find it but my mom found a free Flight helicopter one time on a JC penny magazine and she thought $50 was a lot of money. And so what I discovered this hobby shop in 2003 and found what kind of store I need to go to the find the things that's similar to the stuff that was in that booklet. I learned it one day didn't make that stuff no more obvious. But also well I came in the store I actually wanted an RC gas helicopter or airplane. I was told a helicopter it was more expensive than the airplane. Someone in airplane.
Well I got to learn a lot of things and this was around the time that I got my first computer that was bought for the household. And I discovered a place call Tower Hobbies. Cuz I would tight and find out more about this stuff that Hobby Shop people sell. And got more inclined as I was looking through information and stuff. Keep in mind that was no YouTube or anything it was no kind nothing. I don't even know what a forms was I was pretty much internet illiterate and still a little bit on some things but not bad.
So a little over a year later the school I went to had a program where you can work and do things around the campus and get paid every 2 weeks. So I saved up money because I wanted a gas powered rC plane. The problem I didn't know was they were huge and I learned that the ones I want it we're not RC they were control line that were made by Cox and I'm like an airplane with a string attached to it I thought it was laughable. At the time I thought it was laughable.
So I would try to find planes that were not huge that would not take up a small apartment room that I had lived in. Felt and spent over God knows how many hours. I found one and it was Kyosho auto kite XP. So it's basically a kite attached to a airplane fuselage.
I didn't really know how to build stuff so saved up money to get that. I had to buy the engine the kit and the radio. Now the first thing I got was the engine and let me tell you something the first time you ever get the whole these things in person instead of looking through some glass shelf is beautiful.
So this was at the same time that I found a different hobby shop other than the one I was going in the mall. And found the closer where you can walk on a sidewalk and I'll take you an hour before you get to the end of the sidewalk and then you pretty much be there. And they were more nicer to me than the people in the mall many people in mall they were okay but they just were more like not as friendly.
So these new people here they actually would fix stuff for people and I didn't get to know when an engine sounded like that's how I saw this car driving and I'm like what is this weird noise I don't like wait a minute that's the sound of this car that this guy was tuning.
You have to remember Nitro was very hot in 2004 so it was pretty much at its prime.
So I got my airplane from them but I had it built by one of the people that work in the store that was the owner. Had to pay him $50 and then the rest well goes without saying. I had the plane for over a year and the owner told me at the go to a club to learn how to fly. Every time I try to make an attempt to go to a club it was either it was too far, it cost a lot of money, and we didn't have no car nothing so. Eventually I sold it and got rc10gt. And I sold it simply because there was no way I could fly it or learn how to fly due to problems with Transportation issues.
My mother would say that she would take me do the place that the owner was saying. but she would always kind of forget because of things happen and then it would cost a lot of money. And you know how that is Bill's come first and then everything else second. So now I realize I wasn't going to have a cab or some way to get to some area. I just sold it back in 2005.
I was a little disappointed because I didn't know that it took some skill to learn how to fly an airplane but let alone you have to go to some place for some on the teacher. And the airplanes that people had as radio control my expectations was kind of high. Cuz airplanes I want it where the kind that you can put on your desk that you can fly that ran by gas. But I had no idea that if you buy an RC plane that it's going to be bigger because of the fact that it's RC. And then if it's control line it might be smaller.
The back then like the only planes that would be the kind that you put on the desk was Electric. But I wasn't into electric.
So that pretty much hyena bite the dust for lack of a better term.
I revert my obsession to the RC cars. Even though I sold the auto kite the money to get a RC car was not as easy. And what be challenging. But I'll skip the challenging part. And get to the stuff I own as far as rC cars.
Then when those didn't work out I sold that got a sc10gt and I thought that it would be maybe different. but yeah problems I've had was either braking issues where I couldn't get the engine to start and get it running or keep it on Idol. Or it was just things like loose screws on a pull start or pull start breaking. I took a break from it for a while then got a T-Maxx cuz I'm ever wanted one bad.
But when I actually saw one in person as far as only one I did not like it. It was overly big for 10 scale. And what I thought of a 10 scale I thought of something that was probably out the size of a rc10gt. One thing that was an attractive feature was the instruction manual everything was in an exploded view so if you need to assemble something you had to rely on that. But I know those parts were kind of cheap.
So what do I mean? Well when I was trying to break in the engine one of the wheels will fall off from the front, even though these were supposed to be held by lock tight nuts.
And everything was all plastic the driveshaft was plastic. And the salad the engine put me in the mind of the rc10gt but a little over size version. And I just didn't like it. Of course it never gave me problems. But it only gave me problems when I try to start it inside. But I just didn't like the feel and look at the size. So I sold it.
Now the T-maxx station was in 2011. Christmas and this is where nitrile started to lose interest for people and that the libraries of stuff was kind of dying. So and that's what I got the sC10 gas truck. But had every problem that I dealt with with the rc10gt or GT2 same thing.
But I was really disappointed that the T-Max what I thought I would want as far as my idea of a 10th scale monster truck. And learn that people when they design stuff and put it at 1:10 it may not be a 1/10 scale. And people go by scale sometimes by the size of the engine or other scenarios.
So I thought I wasn't going to have no interest in wanting a monster truck after the T-Max bit. Until I went to a consignment shop and this is a shop that sell stereos and that if you sell stuff they give you cash or store credit. I don't normally go to the store because the prices are ridiculously high. But I went there originally to find a DVD recorder. Back in 2015. And I saw this what it look like a Savage and so I asked the store clerk is that a Savage. He told me that it was and they had it for like $300 used.
And the first thing I noticed is how much better it looked how much attractive, it looked and that the fact that it wasn't too big and it wasn't too small but the size of the monster truck was just right. And I just got to have one I said to my mind. The way everything was on there I just was like I asked him I said what scale is this and he said it was an 8th scale.
I remember calling mother asking her to loan me $150 so I can spend 300 for this thing and she didn't have it. She was sick in the hospital a lot of a call her you know I'm at the hospital. I called my aunt and pretty much the answer was the same. And christmas time I got the Savage X 4.6 but it's not the one I saw at the thrift store. It was a new one. It was one of the happiest days of my life. I want a Savage originally along with the T-Max but after owning the T-maxx I kind of lost a monster truck interest until I saw that Savage in that consignment shop.
I remember looking at this. Instead I can't believe this is mine. I didn't get to use it until 2017. What I did I broke in the engine with like six tanks of fuel and I haven't even tuned this thing. And it was shifting to second gear under a rich high speed and low speed needle setting. It was cool!!
What I want to try to start it that's when the problems came the same thing that happened with the rc10gt stuff at followed up with the Savage.
So I would started and then I couldn't get it to idle. And there was something I did that I should never did and that was messing with needles because I was still learning Nitro. But at the same time I never learned how to tune even though I own these things. So I've had problems that just was unbelievable if I put the car It would quit. I don't understand the change of this Savage. And remembering it every Nitro car I've had fell out with as far as problems with getting engine and run right I end up selling and the Savage was the same way.
However I was able to buy a new Savage just like you may ask for did you do the same thing for the rc10gt did you buy them whenever you have problems with one?
No because at the time that I hadn't rc10gt it was late in the 2008 was already discontinued to the point where you couldn't buy another ready to run.
And the Savage X 2017 I was able to get it but HP I was under extreme bankruptcy. Extreme bankruptcy. So the Savage would be under back order and I couldn't find a place that was selling one. But I said I'm going to buy another Savage because I like the Savage.
I was determined to buy another Savage. And with the help of something I did I end up finding a Savage new on eBay. Bought it all thing I did with it at this point was just did three tanks of fuel sitting on the porch. But I sit this time I was not going to touch it until I've learned Nitro all the way.
It's still on the Shelf but the most it was just did and the rest I'm not going to touch because three tanks of it setting on the ground. There's some things I added to this Savage that makes it worth a little more than really what it is.
After having trouble with Nitro I gave up for a little bit then I got the jato, unfortunately I couldn't keep the wheels on the ground enough to be able to apply some Full Throttle. It's hard enough just to try to figure out how to tune a thing much less but more on keeping on the ground.
Bought a Kyosho Inferno Neo 2.0 this is an older one from the 3.0. Of course I had to sell the Jato to do it.
And pretty much the last time I tried to learn how to tune I wasn't getting much information and i've had a habit of using up too much fuel before I had a chance to turn the engine because when the high speed rich it can take up a lot of fuel with these three to 5 minutes. Well I got sick of having experience with Nitro and a way that was not pleasant.
for or to get from joining the forum?
I finally had to put my foot down and stop looking at everybody else videos, critiques etc and start finding stuff that is genuine. That's when I sign up to this forms to try to 1, find out what has been wrong which I figured it out, 2 pretty much see how the community learn and picked up stuff.
I came to a conclusion that there was a lot of mixed as far as universally. One thing after another my first post was trying to figure out how to do a steady idle. because I was thinking maybe the reason why I was having these issues with it was because of that. But I end up learning that way the wrong way to begin how to learn anything. But I was only just using what little that I've learned a little bit.
I'll end up figuring out what little I've learned meant nothing and really wasn't accelerating me to any Heights.
So I had met up with some people that gave me information's of tuning gave me video suggestions which I watched and studied.
My first several threats would be asking if I was right about certain stuff so it was kind of baby steps like that. Some people gave their own opinion in a way that wasn't directly to the answer.
Others did and pointed out other things that I needed to know as well in addition. And so what that kind of attitude I got a lot accomplished. For example, d3mon was one of the most influential biggest help that I've ever dealt with then the second best was Curtis. But most of it d3mon and then sometimes it would be Curtis depending on what he was comfortable of doing or feel like basically.
The next thing I know I learned a lot of stuff that I didn't even know that wasn't in my instruction manuals I was never on videos that work are the 10 years old. But it wasn't just from them alone it was other people in other places like YouTube and the combine of searching online basically.
So I'm just trying to understand what's going on and what your looking
I was searching for an answer that would prevent me from having the same issues I've had with every other thing I own that's why I joined this forums. My self-esteem began to build up. Almost to the point of me boasting examples of things that I've learned and compared them to stuff. It was such a beautiful event as far as the first time ever.
I'm in the past I would try to get that Perfection but I would end up running into people that will say the same thing and every time I do the same thing nothing was going nowhere.
I know I'm only talking about the RC stuff but learning something Advanced over the same old thing all the time like this Nitro stuff, to me it's like a a big event something exciting. And I cannot wait to pretty much go and see if I'm right about these things.
There's some stuff I will share to you on here. But it'll be on the conversation thing. I'm sorry for the long long explanation but you want to know why I joined this form? you wanted to know why also what is my purpose because you couldn't understand the way I articulated my threads or videos?
Having problems being articulated in text. That's why I do videos. That's why I use a thing called speechnotes which is been acting up. I would say a word and it was say something complete different. It is not the best system but that's all I got. I don't know any kind of punctuations or anything. Like I said this is all I got.
So my goal on this forms is to not only get over my demons as far as this Nitro thing but maybe for once establish some kind of community ship. To the point where I can actually maybe help some people as well and meet some friends along the way. Of course you don't have to have friends but that would be nice too but by saying that I'm just only describing what could be possible.
It was a rocky start when I made the account this guy used to remove things, and he didn't quite understand that everybody takes things differently. He thought that I wanted to hear what I wanted to hear when really at wanted to confirm things that I was studying and make sure that what I picked up was faxed and if there was any information additionally, people can add that as well. But he would have this attitude you either do it the way we have it here as far as information they got or he would just remove additional things.
I'm sorry to hear that he died earlier this year I think his name was Ralph aKA Rolex. I wish she would have seen exactly what I meant just as d3mon curtis and others basically. Cuz those guys are not the only ones.
What kept me going was some of the videos I did had and what do his reviews Curtis, but tell me that the things you describe it's stuff that's not even describing other people's videos.
He would then say the things it's not really talked about in the manufacturers and just a lot of things universally. And it wasn't just him that made those comments. It was others and it further encouraged me to keep going on this. He would subscribing to a channel that really wasn't made to upload videos then eventually unsubscribed. Then it gave me an idea to make a channel that is dedicated to uploading.
I like Nitro because it has the same depiction as a real car. And I like mechanical Parts. I always was in the things that was like wind up when I was little.
I know it's a lot I'm saying and it took me about maybe 2 or 3 hours to write this because speechnotes was either acting up, or you know something's just need an explanation that takes a long time.
By the way I'll be in touch. And answered some other stuff.
So I hope you get everything even a earful have a nice day.
mouth I will use it. Educate ur self before talking poop. I hate haters. I got ur back man.
