Ya, I figured I either was on it or was close, I have been making some pointless posts lately and I do need to slow down...
 
cvec7. You have been here since Jan 2004 and have 700 posts.
We all toss a useless post in here and their.
This kid has 800 posts in 2-3 months.
 
ya...but if ya notice, I have made about 30 or so posts today alone, most of which asking the same damn questions, or just pointless little comments.
 
lol, I'm jus tryin to make good in case anyone else here is fed up w/ me, I really don't like beeing on people's bad lists, that's all.
 
I'm sorry... but i was very serious about this boat idea. I wasn't trying to spam anything. I know, and i have got all these speeches from you guys several times before and I understand. I was completely serious when asking the question.

NCNITRO just didnt take me seriously, and automatically thought I was spamming when I asked for a $40 boat.

You ever read the story of the boy that cried wolf? Like I said, you brought it on yourself.

yea i read that story in 2nd grade...

how did I bring it on myself?

What kind of boat do you think you are going to get for $40? A Nikko or Tyco is about it. I think even Radio Hacks are more than $40.

So whats the matter, you had not found a way to spam the marine forum yet? Are you really going to buy a boat or is this just another tire kicking, wanna buy, spam thread?

I dont see how I brought it on by a question I was asking completely seriously.
 
As others mentioned the only thing you are really going to get it something from toy r us that runs probably with a battery pack and that is going to run you another $40 bucks in itself so then you are stuck with something running on batteries so you may as well hit up the big value outlet near you and buy some $10 peice of poop and spend the rest on some rechangeable batteries and charger.

This is also the funniest post I have read in quite a while.. I don't know much of your history here but it is obvious you have pissed some people off.

If you were being completely serious, about finding a $40 RTR boat, other than a Nikko, YOU WILL NOT find one. Do you understand? I think about 5 people told you already...
Your not making a whole lot of friends here.. I suggest you you take the advice everyones been giving you, and your 4 friends, and clean up your act before it's too late. Once you cross the line, it is hard to forgive & forget..

Because instead of going to Google and searching out the info, so you have some kind of idea of what your looking for, you just ask and ask and ask.
Do a LITTLE investigating before asking everyone.

You just had a thread the other day about electric motors.
You must have asked a dozen questions that you could have found out on your own with a good search engine such as Google.
Your lazy and want everone to do the work for you.
I can't even list the amount of threads you started, "I'm looking to get a........"
Make a choice on what rc you want, and dive in with both feet to get all the info on one car.
If your having pipe dreams about all the rc's you want, search the manufacturers site. They have all the info you need.

Here is what I do if I need info on something.

I search the site, using the search button. If nothing, I'll go to Google and do a few searches there.

If I still didn't get the info I need, I might call the local hobby shop.

Still nothing, I make a thread asking for help.

If you continue to ask for help on every little thing, people will begin to ignore you.

Bro, I think your a good guy and all, just do some investigating before all the questions.
 
ok i will try..actually I will. I suppose,I have not had the best starting 2 monthes here, and will improve.

Looks like it could be upgraded easily with some brushless motors.

How much are brushless motors?
Can you use a regualr esc?
How much is a brushless esc?
Can you cut a brushless motor?
How fast does it go.
How fast will it go with a brushless?
What time is it?

You can't even get one of those for under $40.... LOL This thread is pretty much spam, and I'm throwing in my can of useless words... Pat, you need to cool down and stop making so many threads... When I'm crusin through the site and i see your threads, along with about 4-5 other people who i usually see now, i dont even want to read them. School is out, and for the next 2 months, we will have to endure all of this countless spam. :rolleyes:
 
I'm sorry, but I used the search button and no one has a similar thread. I figured I could get a rtr boat for $40, being it is just some servos and engine along with props and a shell. I was completely serious when starting this thread.
