Rebuilding diffs suck
Closest hobby shop is over an hour away
I can't race because I work weekends

I love everything else about it :D

Almost forgot, I hate the proline puts the dimples for T Maxx body mounts on all there mt bodies, when you mount on anything else you can see the big dimples

I hate dealing with ANY kind of diff tasks. The bearings, the litle hex nuts, all the gears... I HATE IT.

I had problems with the Diff in my RC10GT and still havent figured it out. Next i had some with my mammoth and am trying to figure it all out now. Now I have to order a new tranny for the T-Maxx and install it.

I hate transmissions.
 
I hate 3mm screws. The local hardware stores have small assortments that go up to 2.5mm and large assortments that start at 4mm.

I hate forgetting to put 3mm screws on my list to pick up when I make the half day trip to the hobby store.

Ugggg!!!
 
Here is what i hate the most
Glueing tires.
Not even knowing where the closest hobby shop is(probly 2-3 hours south of me).
No one to bash with.

I hate painting and timming bodies every one I have tried to do with more than one color looks terribile. building shocks stinks also. Before I had a clutch tool, putting shoes and springs on and off was not the easiest thing to do with my fat little muffin hands.
 
I also hate when the guy at the LHS thinks he knows every aspect of anything rc. I saw him tune this kids car.... wow, i could do better and I dont even work at an lhs (let alone have a job lol).

One thing that pisses me off about them is they tell you that they are "sure" the part you are buying will "fix your problem" and it doesn't. So you need to go back, and get the right part.
 
I also hate broken pullstarts (Which pretty much means any pullstart that I own), and I also hate One way bearings.. I have the same luck with both of them.

ugh... pullstarts... I forgot about those.

I must be a little weird cuz I actually find rebuilding shocks to be enjoyable. go figure...
 
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 hear you man The beadlocks are a PITA..
You allmost need a 12 ton press to get them together
 
Actually the only maintenance I hate is ARO......it's easy but I hate cracking my mill open outside when it's been run through the mill all day and I don't have an air compressor and some sort of nitro cleaner (DA, brake cleaner, nitro cleaner)......I enjoy the diff rebuilds.....I've gotten so good at doing my buggy I can change oils in about 1.5 hours.....complete clean and replace oils.....shocks I keep a spare set made in my box and rebuild the ones that blow out at my leisure......less stressful that way......I ditched any starter that needed a one way, and I finally got the hang of painting bodies but can't trim them well....look like my daughter cut it.....lol......
