I'm just pissed off because my brother bought one. Then his son one then all sorts of upgrades then We built a course and I'm just not the guy for that scale. I get pissed working on smaller 10th scale buggies and stadium trucks because I'm a Giant and my hands hurt after a few days solid on those.
Now you know my 8th scale obsession started with my first project rebuild of 8th trucks because I CAN WORK ON THEM without chasing tiny hex screws and nuts i drop often because of the tight spaces and The Green Giant Trying to Start threads of a 3mm locknut.
What is your gripe of the hobby?
Hex head hardware counter sunk metric flat head like on underside of losi xxxnts and such that lil timmy rebuilt to sell to me , clueless there is SAE and Metric and stripped every damn one on the underside of the truck!.
After 3 years of running AD xxxnts.
I went back to my roots with GTs and enjoying my philips head hardware
I've spent years of my life cutting slots and drilling out stripped hex poop on Losi gas trucks i got second hand as a child.
War stories.
Duratrax Nitro models from the maximums to the Thunder Quake use all standard philips hardware other than for shock mounting and motor mounts etc.
I can rip Down a quake to nothing in 30 mins
I can assemble an axis in 40 mins from every part laid out to completed minus electronics and sorted engine stuff.
No, you wont see them qualifying a main.
But ill be bashing out back for years and without getting the Dremel, cut off wheels, or ez outs
I spent 4 hours cutting hardware out of a cen genesis and then had to find the 3 inch long metric pitch button head hex hardware and then wait on shipping..
Guess who got a Cen for xmas, lol my bro
