are you saying that we are professionals cause I did this..."professionals"...the reason why its in quotes is cause some of these guys do this hobby for money...they build, they create, they run little cars...hell I do it to...don't make any money in it..but the thread is about you wanting a crawler..get one..you asked a question, two people responded and you got torqued cause you didn't like the response...ohh well...sorry about that...in fact, take everything I said and forget it...

its ok...sounds like your the uptight one....

I was not mad at anyone on here I was upset with RCTVLIVE for saying it was good......and now I am taking everything into consideration. After they sent that email reply back I felt better. What they said was very true.

Keep in mind that the TV show has to cater to the show sponsors because that's what makes the show possible. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they said something was outright terrible, so they focus on the positives and either barely acknowledge or completely ignore the negatives. So you really only get half the story. Same goes for any magazine whether it's R/C or otherwise.

And as you found out, the internet is full of "professionals" and "experts". For the most part, members on here actually have some experience and after you do some reading and do things on your own, you figure out who actually knows what they're doing and which ones are the "web wheelers".

Great post and thank you. The one thing I like about the shows review is that they are not sponsored by Kyosho. But I guess they have to pay the bills somehow. Anyway thanks again for the help

If you want a challenge, build the RF. If you want to get out there, have fun, upgrade, and plain ole drive, get an axial. Go for a kit because they teach you a lot more about your truck.

An update on the rock force. Got a good deal on a kit. Built it and have really enjoyed running it. Problem I have now is I want to try out another rig! I just don't like using the cable ties on the chassis. other than that it has been a pleasure.

Glad you are enjoying your new rig Its all a learning experience and knowledge of the sport will come with time.

You should make some crawler friends locally so you can drive their rigs and see what they are like.

Glad you have joined in the fun
