VB, I think he's referring to the actual shaft inside the electric motor that runs the rotostart. I liken it to replacing shaft the pinion gear is on on the electric motor of a EZ Start system from Traxxas. Is that accurate, AJ?
 
I wasn't directly referring to you just the ppl who talk smack about everything they can, i thought this site was for hobbiest's trying to help each other. but what can i say its just like every other forum.
 
If this one truly is like the others, as you say, then maybe you should just keep visiting them. Asking questions and seeking help is one thing, but asking a question (no matter how dumb it may be) then waiting and waiting to hear the answer you want to hear instead of taking the advice that is given is just plain stupid and a waste of time, not to mention resources like bandwidth, server maintenance and the like. This forum also serves as a place for friendly ribbing, but I don't think those that visit regularly and pay will think too kindly to individual(s) asking ignorant questions without taking a few minutes to perform a basic search then have the sand to call someone out. That kurt guy is a perfect example of a turbo-dink, thinking he had all the answers and spewing absolute garbage from his cake hole! You're not going to see too many folks here shedding a tear because his butt got bounced, I can assure you!

Your perception that this site is like other forums may be accurate to you, but the difference that I see is that the members here actually care about the quality of the advice given and aren't afraid to speak up when someone offers a blatantly stupid idea! I'd rather see that then be misled, personally.

The problem I see most often is that, rather than admit being wrong or simply not knowing, some folks would rather start flaming one another, making crap up! I'll be the first to admit that I have offered advice, only to have (thankfully) another member or contributor catch my mistake and correct me. Rather than call that person out, slinging rude comments and making an ass out of myself, I admit it and, get this, LEARN SOMETHING NEW!

No one here will admit they know everything (well, except Plaidfish, but he's still upset Kurt Cobain killed himself and that he can't find the movie "Singles" on Beta), but someone that comes in claiming they do, then starts talking out their rear end will be shown the virtual door quite quickly!

The idea is to help each other, not hold each others hands or wait to give you the answer you are looking for.

Of course, I could be wrong about all of this (except that bit about Plaid, that's all true, no matter what the "disgruntled gen-X'er" says!)

How about you scroll to the 1st page where the answer to his question is actually stated. Its just been stupid bullshit the last 2 pages that if people were so damn lazy they could have looked it up themselves. Like AJ should have done the 1st time instead of asking for handouts. If you think this forum is like the rest, then I suggest you actually go and spend some time at another forum. Youd be back to RCNT in a matter of hours. This site is BY FAR the best Rc forum on the net. Hands down. All the other forums I have stumbled on (No names, but I'm sure ya can figure it out) is filled with retarded kids with Smartech's superchargers and nawzzz, and also filled with scamming dueschbags. So I suggest ya talk a little tour of some of these other sites before ya try to bring our site down to there poopy level. Will never happen. Stupid questions gets stupid answers. I for one will always call out a lazy person who in the time they spent typing there question, they could have googled, done a search or punch in a part on tower and found there answer.
