For me,the thing that agravates the most is the guys that can't figure out what to do if the kit is missing a shock piston or a couple of the grub screws. Common man,THINK a little bit. Don't bitch about it on line and cause a stink. This ain't a perfect world and mistakes happen. If your "kit" is missing a part....go get it. Or even better yet......N00BS,THIS IS THE HEART OF CRAWLERS....PAY ATTENTION HERE.....figure out a way to make a different part fit better. Crawlers wouldn't be where they are today,if the OG's didn't figure out how to make a box full of junk parts from 12 different pan car/truggy/dirt oval/monster truck kits all fit together to make a comp ready crawler. PERIOD. |

Maybe Jason and Badger can create a lil spot for all the "OG's" to go here on the site that no one else can. Then once you pass a "crawler test" you will gain access to the "OG" backdoor of RCC. |

| That is actually a pretty good idea, even though I would probably not be able to get in.

I'm not really into the backdoor stuff. But whatever, to each his own |

I discovered this hobby several months ago and only just a couple weeks ago got my rig. Yes, its a RTR. I had one made for me. I'm into driving more than building. Now that I see what it can do I wonder how I can improve on it and feel the need to understand more of it. I'm thinking of a kit in order to understand it better. I want to drive with more experienced people so I can see what they are doing and ask questions. I'm doing a comp next week even though I have very little experience-I'll probably learn more that day than in all the days prior. I'd like to think RTR's will help the hobby grow. It is bringing more people to crawling. Some might stay, some might go. That's the natural way things grow, with growing pains. I can understand the frustration with very basic questions and sometimes inappropriate questions, some of both I am surely culpable of. I hope I dont offend anyone as I want to be around a while and I want to learn. This is a great forum full of very knowledgable people willing to share their experiences. I hope they stick around. All us noobs could use the help. | |

Im not an og or anything, i just got a crawler about a year ago. And i am only 16, but i am not one of those kids who whines when something doesnt work just exactly right. I found a lot of that stuff out when i built my bruiser. I knew that if i wanted it to be like the others i have seen, i would have to make some parts and do some custom work, and still it might not work right. But after a while of remaking some parts it finially worked, and it felt way better to have figured it out then have the instructions right there to guide you along the whole way. Imo, the ax10 is both killing this hobby, and giving it a big jump start. I think that crawlers shouldnt be bought, they should be built. That is why they are set apart from other types of rc's. You make it your own.

For your $$?? You need 2 axles, $80 not $40. So you don't use AL knuckles, CVD's, Clocked C's, upper link mount, lockouts, straight RR axle shafts?? If not there not comp worthy either. Quote:

you know, this whole thread is a bunch of BS. Here is how I see it, you have a bunch of new guys with ARTR kits(AX-10) and they are having a bunch of fun with them. Whats wrong with that?? You have a bunch of new guys asking a bunch of questions on some good stuff and of course a lot more are asking questions that are a little on the funny if not ridiculous side of things just because they can't figure out how to search for anything. So what?? click on to to a thread that just might interest you. why is it such a big deal that things change?? what is such the big deal if this hobby has exploded?? who every thought it would was pretty damn ignorant to think not. I suggest if anybody doesn't like what ever thread they click on, move on to one you might like. Who cares if there are some people who just don't get it, let natural selection take it's course. Only the dedicated and wise will excel well above the rest. The wise are usually the quit ones who know whats up. which kind of guy do you want to be?? The dedicated and wise?? or the Internet big guy who usually can't get r done were it counts, on da rocks. but is sure good at bashing who ever on the net and whining about change. This forum is here to share with everybody. I have been here for awhile, ya that's right, I get OG status, so what. Doesn't make me or anybody with a 04 join date any better than anybody else, well except were it counts the most. on da rocks. Web crawlin don't mean nothin. |

Build it , and they will come . I found crawling searching the net looking for ideas for my old Clod , wanting to build a monster truck . And I figured this was more my speed . I now even use a 105 turn search engine . And yes I bought most of the stuff to build it , thats why its being sold . Its not that I can't make the parts , my time is worth money also . If I need something I can't find , Then I do it . My point is every body has different reasons for what they do . And buying a rtr or AX10 kit is not a bad thing , and the ones that ask the easy questions will give up and go away or learn what ever it is they need to . Some of these kids had no one to teach them to think for themselves . I'm not saying you should think for them , just guide them , they might catch on and come up with something you'll copy ! If your scared to compete with a name brand rig using your home built rig , buy the same rig the other guy did . I've read people saying they wished some one would catch on and make better parts for what we do , and when it starts to happen ...., and here we have post like this . If you think you can't enjoy this hobby anymore because it got popular , then please by all means go find something else to do . |
