Below is a link to something I've spoken about several times. Surprisingly enough, this is from our latest "perfect example of a flatline basher". Otherwise known as "I'm a pro and know everything about nitro engines" guy.
In all seriousness, I'm thankful he is providing contact. My thinking is "I got one!" because now he can pretend all he likes, but once he starts endangering my fellow newbies with the bullshit I'm on it as he kind hide in YT like they do on those forums (or think they are).
This Bank
So what's my point? Not much. Simply showing an example of someone who truly feels he has this entire nitro thing figured out, but ironically it's close to being the opposite (meaning his true skill level is not even novice yet). They do videos and jump on forums etc etc simply to IMPRESS, instead of adding true value. Using big words confuses their audience as newbies don't know better Of course I only go after the ones who come at me with the rah-rah shit when I tactfully ask them to get their facts straight when misleading newbies like they do. Many of them will say "valid point' or "that's fair" and it's all good, we move on...and some of them I've gotten to know. As in real life they live near me and we'll sync for a beer periodically.
But remember, I'm a MF'er so have no problems pointing how ridiculous the di*kheads are. No problem. I enjoy it actually. Yeah, that's right.
Get to the Point, Man!
So in today's episode, we dwelve into the category of those who feel success in this hobby is based on what they spend. Their only contribution is what they received in the mail that day. Now two things: first I'm not hating on cost, because in all candor, the price he's touting here, well, my cheapest RC is roughly that dollar amount invested. Nor am I hating on upgrading, because yeah--it's an incredibly enjoyable part of this hobby.
It's Like That
However, for you guys new please be weary of the following.
1. The tone is "This is for all the suckers who didn't believe I spent x amount on this rc vehicle.
2. You hear the word aluminum a lot. I'm not hating on aluminum, but to truly put it down, aluminum is RARELY an upgrade, and OFTEN a liability. Not across the board, but when you hear someone aluminum this and aluminum that, yet the parts they are replacing have not broken nor caused any damage...well it's most likely for show.
3. So enjoy while he takes out a calculator and proves to us all how successful he's been at purchasing parts. No doubt he lays it down...except there is little if any intel on WHY he bought them, which I would think is what is TRULY important. Not attempting to make yourself look "better" than the viewer.
