RC Driving Style
  1. Bashing
Spend more time on here and working on your rig than driving them??? I can't be the only one..
I've had two revos for about 3 months now.. Total I have about 15 hours work and maintenance on them. I'm on here for a total of about 2 hours a day waisting time, and I have about 3 hours drive time between the two rigs...
 
I do. With family/work/life I don't get to run as much as I want. I always have time in the late evenings to tinker and be here. My wife and son go to bed early so I have the place to myself!
 
I would spend more time working on my rustler then bashing it but I don't have that problem with the revo. I do spend why more time here tho!! Well not so much this last week or so cause I have been really busy but I miss it just the same!:D
 
Once upon a time I rather wrenching to driving but not anymore...Now I just want to drive! My son and I spent about an hour running the scalers today, he drove the Defender and I drove the Jeep. It was a great time and doesn't get much better than that!
 
Yeah Lessen that is true man....hell I fix mine UNTIL they are broke then rebuild. Eventually I even run them.....sometimes
 
Even if I did intend on running something I'm sort of r/c screwed this summer anyways. We're planting new grass in the backyard so my boy and I can't run anything back there. I'd let him run his truck out front except I'm not quite confident enough in his ability to keep it out of the street or other peoples yards. He doesn't run into the fence as much as he used to out back so he might be getting close. It's supposed to rain today so I might jus take my Summit outside when they are nappin'. I've been itching to run that the last few weeks.
 
Same here. I usually sit here, at my computer chair on this site and watch TV. I can't run my rigs, cause all it ever does is rain around here!!!
 
The only time I don't spend more time here is if I have a Comp to go to with my Crawler, which will be the case tomorrow and next Saturday, but other then that I would rather be her or just looking over my Crawler to make sure it is solid and ready for the next comp, I give it the occasional run on my little course out back but thats it.
 
I spend way more time right now building and rebuilding for no real reason. It is too hot right now. Summer is my downtime in Texas, and winter is the best time.
 
I tend to run one till it breaks, then switch to the next. When they are all broken, as they are now, Ill take a couple days and fix them all. I have 3 back up and ready to go and just a couple more tweeks on my BB maxx and she will be ready. Although it prolly wont see much action because all it does it break stuff. I spent 4 1/2 hours working on my Revo 2 nights ago. It was worth it though. I installed a bunch of additions and its a little beast now. I can't wait to hit the local track with it. The only thing that I have noticed is that the rear end wants to fly up no matter how much break or throttle you give it in the air.:\
 
I think that building and and modifying my RCs is the most fun aspect of the hobby. I think that the only person around here that repairs and polishes but never runs them is Rolex......
 
I bash 3 sometimes 4 in 1 day.I run 3-4 trucks 3-4 times a week sometimes 3-4 times a day...Who says being a land excavator doesn't have its perks?.Sometimes they all come home with scrapes and alot of dirt , sometimes only 1 truck breaks with an easy fix,but theres been more times than I care to count where all them come home broke but thats mostly near the end of the month anyway and thats when theyre ready for ripping down,surveying the damages,service and repair for the next bash-a thon the following month because I have 5 others I have the pick of to swap out to take the place of the broken ones during the rebuild so theres no break in the bashing...weather permitting of course;-lol
