RC Car/Industry Rant Thread
Let's see if we can do this. Just your rant, no responses so we don't argue.
Sort of the industry I guess. I'll start, every RC car video vintage or otherwise with crappy music dubbed over it. Music is personal, most won't like my crap or yours. Beyond that I want to hear the transmission, dirt and track noise, not some darn 1970's rock band, and blaring death metal does not make an RC Car or you cooler.

Re: RC Car/Industry Rant Thread
When I was younger, I had some store bought RC videos. They had horrible music too, to go with the infomercial grade host.
Kinda like watching a B movie. You are laughing because everything is so bad that its comical.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: RC Car/Industry Rant Thread
This is an easy one. Industry rant... Big corporate companies that buy up the small ones who are making innovated products and then closing them down a short time later.
On a side note, I heard a rumor on youtube that RJ Speed is now under new ownership. BUT I have found nothing else on it. Can anyone confirm or deny that claim? If they did get bought out who bought them?

Sorry to derail. Post edited.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

That's good news then. Hyperdrive makes some great parts and kits. I'm glad it went to a good home.

Re: RC Car/Industry Rant Thread
Well we derailed quick from just posting rants. That said, this is not unique to the RC industry. Happens in retail, pharma, oil, renewable energy, medical and on. Eventually there will be one company and regional warehouse for all crap which is beamed to your doorstep and owned by like 2 people. Only way to stop it is if people truly could put greater good over individual interest. I won't hold my breath.LowClassCC wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 8:33 pm This is an easy one. Industry rant...
