Fill in the blank.

What is your least favorite R/C task? I know we all love our hobby and get much enjoyment out of it but I'm sure there is at least one task that bugs you.

I hate gluing tires!
 
I'm going to give my top three, in order, worst first:

making T/C turnbuckles (may hands are too big and get cramped up)
gluing tires
building shocks
 
i dislike UNglueing tires. like if you damage a wheel. i can never get the tires off without ripping them. and i havent done it yet but I'm sure this ball diff i gotta rebuild will be up there on the list.
 
I hate not having the proper tool to make any of the above tasks easier. Other then that, Setting gear mesh.
 
I hate sealing the backplate and carb, whenever I'm done it always looks like I smeared boogers all over the place.
 
Rebuilding difs! Disassemble, break it down, clean it, build it up, fill it, put it all together, re-install it, realize you went the wrong way with the fluid, start over!
 
I'm with jetmech... I hate re-building diffs. It's expensive, messy, hard to get at and in general, just annoying.

I don't mind shocks, body trimming, rebuilding pretty much anything else other than the diffs.

I really enjoy tearing an engine down and cleaning/resealing it.
 
I Hate That There is nobody near me to bash with.

I hate that there is only one off-road track in my whole entire state and that its 2 hours away!!!!!!!
 
I'm with Carbon! Noone to bash with sucks. Thats my most hated thing about Rc's where I live. My LHS is a close 2nd and third would be that the nearest track (Which sucks) is 2 hrs away.
 
I hate cutting body mounting holes after I paint the body. Its ALWAYS off by a little bit.

Diffs also suck...

I hate that the only person I drive with on a regular basis is my brother... and many of you know why that is bad... lol
 
I too hate not having someone to bash with :( ocassionaly by bro goes out with me and he drives my E Rustler. I also hate when you go to repair one problem and cause another. Like i just replaced my front bearings on my RC10Gt and when I was tightning the front wheel the stub axle snapped in two :(.It was stripped out from the previous owner. I also hate when all i need is something simple like the stub axle and my lhs doesn't have it in stock and I have a hard time finding one on line.
 
I hate noobs who become experts after 5 days of owning their first nitro RC.

Also hate glueing tires. Although after putting together a set of proline beadlocks with all those tiny screws, glueing the tires doesn't seem so bad.
 
I'm with jesse...I hate going to the hobby store and them having every piece EXEPT the one you need...like those stupid Hump Packs. THey have the hump packs but no chargers!
 
I hate cutting out bodies most of all.
I hate having noone to bash with.
I hate gluing tires.
 
I hate having to drive an hour one way to get fuel, because the guy at the hobby shop 10 minutes away thinks he is an RC God.

I do love the look on his face when I told him I bought my stuff somewhere else.
