I run my r/c's a lot. Right in front of my driveway. I generally try to run them at least once a day. Now you can imagine how my neighbors feel about me....

So i'm running my savage today, in front of my house. Doing off-road drag racing, kinda. Anyhow, this japanese guy comes out and yells from a fare distance away. I couldn't understand him since i'm bad with accents and the savage's pipe was overpowering his voice. I assumed he wanted me to shut the truck down. So of course, being the butthead(/helper) that I am I wasn't courteous, and I kept running it.

Then like 5 minutes later I had to go inside and get a screw driver to tune the engine. When I came out my mom was backing her car into the driveway. Then the japanese guy comes over to bitch at my mom. He's like, "Can you please tell your son to quit running his truck it is very loud." And my mom's like, "Well what do you want me to do about it?" God bless mom. As he was complaining to my mom, I did the only thing logical, tried to start the truck up. Unfortunately it wouldn't start.

So now it's official, my neighbors hate me. If he ever comes back to bitch some more i'll just tell him to buy me an electric and he won't ever hear the truck (not the on-road) again. But it'd have to be the most badass electric ever. Of course, that will never happen...lol...i'm such an butthead(/helper).
 
Man your just gathering people to hate the hobby arn't you.:violin:
 
Next time he comes out while your driving, go over and hand him your controller. maybe you'll gain a gunning partner. It worked for me.
 
T'ch .. If he mows his lawn, go over to his house and tell him shut it off and say it's too loud, heh.
 
Tell him you're sorry.

You'll find another hobby.

And what's his daughter doing tonight?
 
samething has happened to me many times, but thye actually call the cops here and try to "prosecute" you with "disturbing the peace". It is hilarious.

I told the people at some meeting they had to see if it was a legit case. "Well, would you rather have me out doing drive by's, being a drug runner, or anything else that will get me in trouble?" They agreed, these people are really cool. Ohhhh yeah, just a little piece of info. I also play the Bagpipes, in Scotland they can be heard over 1 1/2 away. I usually play for the funerals that request it. I have to practice sometime dont i? HEHEHEHEHE he loves me now. I have no where else to practice, if i practice inside i go deaf for days, so the only thing to do is practice outside!!!!!!

Everything in life makes noise, when I fart, are you going to prosectue me for "disturbance of smell? or peace?"
 
If he doesn't like driving it ( I like Eddies Idea ) then lurk around waiting for him to leave. Chase him around his driveway with a big flag on the back of the Savage that says 'Ankle Biter!'
 
My neighbors are the same but there @#$%n dog can bark at 02:00 in the morning at a frigin owl for 2 hours, then they can't here noise! how would they like it if I run my truck at 02:00?
 
Try it see how they like it....... Lucky here My neighbors make as much noise as I do so They don't care

LMAO @ Chris!!!!!!! that would be hilarious (SP) if you do it get some wait tons of vid:devil:
 
Boy did i get lucky. My neighbor across the street has a nitro stampede, and a tmaxx. my neighbor on the right has an RC10GT, and my neighbor across from me and down 1 house has an RS4 2. And finally the neighbor to my left, well she doesn't have any RC stuff, but she has a great rack.
 
I am the man with the hammer in my community. I write, review, and hand down the punishment for the community's covenants. No one ever complains about my RCs. Sometimes it pays to be the king.
=devil

Kill em with kindness I like that, but I still wouldnt let anyone drive my stuff. You were my first Eddy:wasted: but I see what you got and how you take care of it so letting you take my pistol was no problem. What if the MF tries to crash it if you hand over the trigger? Since Kwong is being a richard about it dont you think the guy would run it into a mailbox or something?
 
Your all sick........

anyway i have a neighbor 4 houses down who built a 9 foot concrete wall on the sides of his house due to the fact the kids in there backyards where to "loud". He complained about my go-ped, truck (real), my t-maxx, and one of my other neighbors weedwacker. He also bought a timer for an outside light for the people next to him because they leave the light on at night, and he claims it ruins his sleep. So one day me and a friendly neighbor set a trap out and caught a possum, we tied it to a rope and then tied the other end to his car tire. Funyn as poop, not one complaint from him again.
 
Thats just Wrong!!!!.....But funny as hell.:hehe:

When first got mine all I did was run it up and down the street until I had a decent tune on it. Every time I took it out it became a spectator event. All the kids on my street would come out and see what was going on. A few of them had some electrics that I helped them tweek.

I've actually infected 2 of their fathers with the RC Nitro bug. 1 has an Ofna Titan Deluxe on order and the other just bought an LD3 (same as I). Now, we are looking into getting some Helis. I've already ordered the sim software so we'll see how that goes.
 
Some people just love to find something to bitch about. It's a fact of life almost as sure as everyone living around you will disapprove of what you like to do. Like has been said already, it seems to be fine and not a problem when they are responsible for the disturbances. I've learned to live with and ignore as much of the surrounding noise and not complain but at the same time I don't want to hear anything about it when I decide to fire up the R/C engines for a short time. Anyway, this is a Free Counrty (USA), as long as you follow all the "rules".
 
If a bunch of bashers molested a wine-o with savages and maxx's and EK-4's, what would they be charged with?

I have pissy neighbors. And most of the time when I'm out bashing, the weirdest people flock around. Last night I was dragging in a parking lot with a buddy (E-Maxx dude that I forced my old savage on for the evening). We were discussing shock socks and this guy drives up and asks us if we needed any help, he thought that we were hovering over a persons body. This is normal here.....

Soon to come, hunting groundhogs with the savage, and other nitro fun. Film at 11
