RC Driving Style
I was just tuning up my maxx and for the life of me i couldnt get it to run for more than a couple of seconds. I then turned the flywheel and felt low compression. By the way, i just got a rebuild on my trx 2.5, i dont even have a gallon through it) I was furious so i just tossed my t-maxx and i broke a rear bulk and bent a shock tower GRRRRRRR>>>>

i am so pissed:mad:

now i just wish i hadnt messed with it:x

now i have to dish out more money on my t-maxx when i am saving up for a !!XXX-NT!!:radio:
 
Hmm tossing the Maxx isn't always the best thing to do with it, as you found out the hard way. I find when I get to the point of just before I go to throw it is to walk away and cool off. :doh: I would rather put only the money I have to, into it just cause I was bashing hard and not throwing it across the basement floor.
 
d00d you have the same problem i do...all you have to do is count to 10 (*doesn't always work*) or just realise that if you chuck things they gennerally get broken, i personally have been there done that...
 
Thats the same thing with me...I just sit there and take 10 long and deep breaths and wait for a couple of seconds after that and start up again...Not every way works for everyone....I usually get mad really quick.Its not something that i'm proud of but i find ways around things instead of getting mad.:yes:
 
Yeah maybe a tree will be better than your t-maxx..Lol.throwing things may vent your anger but throwing the wrong things will only make your anger rise...:jester:
 
I think everyones been close or beyond their boiling point in this hobby.... Tuning my 1st OS CVX put me over the edge. After I broke the 2nd pullstart, I kicked the Maxx about 10ft off my back deck...lol I have since changed my ways, and try to walk away from potential flareups...:flaming:
 
I painted a body, stomped on it then threw it in the trash. Didn't help things or save me money but made me feel better to stomp on it.
 
Remember this is supposed to be a fun hobby. Yes, there are times when I feel totally frustrated :doh: but, I remember that it's just a hobby. I walk away from it, smoke a cigarrette:smoke: and have a beer :beer:. Then I'll go back with a clear head. I just can't imagine throwing any of my RC's out of frustration, too much money.
