RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I stopped watching VGG. Derrick has a fun personality, but his formula of will it runs, and fast expensive engine swaps got dull. Also, I started to get irritated by his unwillingness (or inability) to repair/fab anything structurally on his car. Puddin, Deboss, and TSF have more interesting builds...

We've had a couple divergent topics in the Things That Irritate You thread, thought it would be nice to have a place to explore those tangents without derailing an otherwise irritating thread. :lol: :lol: Last divergence was the topic of YT channels, so I thought I'd ask what things you guys watch w...

Yeah Car Wizard is a dry shop humor GOLDMINE! I stumbled onto these jokers watching Hoovie on Motortrend TV. Had a show where he'd go buy a car with "X" level of collectability and take it to his "mechanic" (Wizard), who would then produce a list of deficiencies which Hoovie wou...

Gee, that must irritate you....

Not if you don't remember....

Remember what?!?

Yeah, I always forget to ask for the old parts because even though experience has taught me otherwise, I'm still a trusting soul. You'd think I'd learn, apparently not.

I no sooner made that last post this morning when I had to leave for work. The shop had sent me a picture of the truck's dipstick to show me that the oil was a tad low, so I checked it this morning, yep, added a bit, all good. But what's this I see on the floor? Coolant?!?!?! You've gotta be F'ing k...

I don't know how to categorize this irritation. This literally happened last Friday, and I am not making any of this up. This is exactly why I don't use boutique shops of any kind for any reason! Sadly, this problem also isn't just relegated to the local JL, it seems to be everybody from every walk...

A few years ago the speaker in the back of my truck would cut in/out. Popped the door open and the connector wasn't unlike yours, heavily corroded and a bit loose. I doused it in soldering paste and hit it with an soldering iron, that made very quick work of the corrosion! I wiped things down really...

Well, you don't have to get nasty!

And, yep! Traxxarse was one we'd occasionally filter on the fly when we wanted to mess with someone.

...for the love of rice crispies 🤣 Pretty sure the language filter kicked in right about then. :wink: :lol: Technically, it was MY language filter, since we're not supposed to use naughty words here. At Clodtalk, we could edit our filter to change naughty words into non-naughty words or phrases. We...

I just read that someone bought a new laptop and had to make an account with MacroCrap to be able to initialize their new purchase. :roll: You know, I'm not a big fan of government intrusion, but for the love of rice crispies, there needs to be some very heavy regulation of data mining and this leve...

great job!

Maybe we need a new thread for this off topic conversation? :? :wink: :mrgreen: BTW, I'm not a supporter of EV in any way. Between the mining of rare minerals for battery production to the fact that the national electric grid simply cannot support them, to the tech becoming obsolete before it even r...

The electric cars today were never designed to have the battery replaced like our RC cars. Could you even imagine if the battery in your RC was bonded to the chassis? Would you even buy an RC car if it was? This sounds like a toy grade RC with glued in batteries… Actually, this was one of Tesla's (...
