Almost Lost My Best Friend
It's amazing how we, as human beings, live so close to the edge of complete devastation as we do. While I firmly believe one should not go through life worrying about anything that is inevitable, it is incumbent upon us to recognize, reflect, and think of those less fortunate.
Here's a simple way to interpret all that bullsh*t I wrote above. Have you ever had an ailment (toothache, stomachache, headache, etc.) and thought to yourself you will never take NOT having that ailment again for granted? There ya go.
While I grew up with dogs, it wasn't until my early 30's that TRULY leaned what love meant. I learned that from having kids, and in addition to man's other best friend, the wonderful canine. Specific to this example: Humphrey the pug. For 10+ years this dog Humphrey and I did EVERYTHING together. We were thick as thieves and everywhere I went, he was by my side. The only time he was not was when I away from the house in a place unable to take care of him (work, restaurants, etc.), but other than that we were always together.
I never imagined in my life I would come close to duplicating the relationship I had with Humphrey. I mean it's a once-in-a-thirty-year relationship, right?
Well, for some reason I'm not going to even try and analyze as to how or why: I've become as close if not more close to the latest jerk I keep as a side-kick: Winston. He and Humphrey are the complete opposite in ever way. The best way I can articulate it in to a human analogy: Humphrey was a fighter and Winston is a lover. I could be wrong as rain. All I know is everyone who has been around us will tell you how both dogs were able to communicate on levels for which they have never seen.
It's a snotty breed. Expensive, historically bred for the upper-class, etc. Some people think they are ugly as sin, some thing they hung the moon with how cute they are, etc. I just know this. As a guy's guy: what I DO know about Pugs is this: they are 8+ lbs of pure kick-ass. They are trusting to a fault. By "fault" they will wander off without thinking of any repercussions. "My owner will get me when he's ready....." and off they will go, baby!
I can't tell you how many times I'd be at the park, 6:00am on a Saturday morning with the kids in a stroller, letting Humphrey run wild within ear-shot of me. If I diverted my attention for more than 30 seconds I'd look up and he 30 seconds away. That's just how they are: there is no changing that.
So the other night when my wife said "Where's Winston?" things changed. "That's a good question", I thought. I'd last seen him about an hour ago in the back yard. It's very odd for him to spend that much time alone.
I knew.
I knew he had taken off. I could not be bothered to worry about how or when, I just got to business.You see, I know the pain and did want to experience it again. It's real shit.
I know what it's like to come home from work, notice that utility workers who were there earlier did not properly close the gate, and well, by best friend was gone. I know the feeling of driving around all night not finding him. I know the feeling of coming home on my lunch hour the next day to search some more, seeing my best friend dead in the street from being hit by a car. I know the feeling of standing over him sobbing while strangers consoled me.
I did not want to feel that again. I repeat: I GOT TO BUSINESS.It was about 10:30pm. I delegated some "searching" tasks to my wife and children, jumped in the minivan...and prayed. You see, I could not envision a scenario where I could accept anything except Winston being near by side as I went to bed, so I prayed I could handle whatever scenario was put upon me. I've been around and consequently know how shit can go down, so once again I got to MFing business!
To make a long story short (if it's possible at this point, I literally set up a perimeter, and circled in on him.
Guys, I'm 44 years old. I'm an experienced 44-year old,know that. Meaning I've done, seen, felt, experienced a LOT in my time here. As stated I could not envision a scenario where I could go without my best friend. This is why I cannot even begin to describe the euphoria I had when I saw him creep out of the shadows, about six blocks away.
As a prologue, I wrap up my day, look at the jerk sitting next to me (see below JERK 1), and then we engage in his favorite activity (see JERK 2).
We shall now adjourn to bed, thankful for each other.

- We locked eyes
- Not knowing who I was at first, Winston got low (like he's gonna do something SMH ha ha)
- I called his name, He lit me up with that dumbass smile and ran in to my arms!
- I heard the expression "coming home from seven wars, alive" many years ago, it's the best I can explain it. TOTAL
I know there will be a period of time where he and I will not be together, but I'm not ready for that just yet. I pray that Winston outlives me. All I know is that he gave me top 3 happiest moments of my life when I found him, simply because complete devastation was averted. It's crazy, still, to think about how close live to that. This is why, I go through life doing ALL I CAN to control my span of influence. Regrets, as an example. 14 years ago when I my first child was born,. I made an oath that 20 years later I would not look back and wish I had devoted more of myself, and to a man I have ZERO regrets to-date,. It's all we can do, and the rest (good and bad) will play out as is His vision. That's what I believe anyway. I could be wrong as anything, but I roll with I believe to the best of my ability.
p.s. Yes he has a tag, yes he has a chip, blah blah. For anyone wondering, he was able to pry open a fence picket an squeeze himself out from the back (which is odd in itself as he never tries to get out...but now I know)/.

YouTube is funny
Youtube tried to "warn' me for showing a clip of somebody lying in one of my videos. The offender claimed "copyright" and so YouTube bowed up at me. Ha ha. Bless their heart. Yet the video is still up?
You see, YouTube is confused. They seem to think it's a privilege for folks to use their software....that CEO needs to have a good look at that sort of culture because I know for a fact this was not one of their core values coming out the blocks....and they know I disagree wholeheartedly. They should take a step back and think why they are in business, because it's nothing more than a software that's free for people to use while they try to employ variant's of legalized pyramid schemes (to which I give them the finger) to that as well.I imagine in the time I've been doing videos, at least one person logged on for the sole purpose of watching a video of mine. During this time they looked around elsewhere, saw and ad for something they were interested in, and put some money in the advertiser's pocket. It's probably only happened once--but I'm sure it's happened. Regardless, that one time is more than I've benefited, so it seems like they are on the debit side with me.
Now understand, what's ironic, YouTube will turn a blind eye to all the sick, racist comments that they ALLOW users to spew, to which they happily store it for all to see in form of videos or comments in their big ol' computers (trust me, this is easily proven). But when someone points out a liar, it becomes red sector A.
i.e. When it comes to their bottom line possibly being affected,they try to drop the hammer. I say try because I just laugh at that shit. C'mon, when a company makes a large % of its revenue via loop holes, they become paranoid. When this happens, they invest heavily in compliance, and suddenly compliance drives the bus. Above all, don't get sued. At the time now, call a spade a spade (pun intended for YT's purposes) and don't insult the customers who know what's up.
That's really all I have. YouTube is just silly. You gotta love them, or at least laugh at them.

What's better than this?
Above all, my ONLY wish is that one of reading this, who want to know why, well....ask : "why?"
Today's subject focuses on a new "trend" in this underworld. That is to pretend like they know enough to inform newbies aluminum clutch shoes %do pretty much the opposite of what they state%. Specifically that aluminum clutch shoes outlast composite/nylon/"plastic" shoes.
Typically, once a fraudulent, flat-line basher gets cornered, she will start hissing things...often "Don't you have anything better to do than monitor us (he and fellow pretend agents). To that I answer: "HELL NO!" I can't think of anything better to do. Ha ha. I wake up every day thinking, "What RC fraud can I expose today"
So it goes....
Let's see:
- LRP
- Sealing engines
- Big Block
- ERCM
- Temp Gun
- Thick Diff Oil
- Carnage
- Alum (anything)
I'm sure I'm missing quite a few, but this is a short-list of "be cool or be cast out" ideologies that two of those basher forums will ban you for disagreeing with. Disagreeing and defending your statement. (Trust me, they live to bully newbies, but like all bullies when they get punched in the nose, well....)
Only wish is that one of you on here ask : "why?" State that you've read a compltetely different account in what to expect and are wondering if they can elaborate on why it is they are consulting on what they are l.
If you are reading this please understand one thing. My angst is against malice, not negligence.
So don't be afraid to state that you've read a completely different account and that you are wondering if "expert" can elaborate on why it is she is consulting you as such
If you are reading this please understand one thing: my angst is against malice, not negligence.
When pressed against it, these fakers will 'fess up'. Case in point is this fraud "Ninnon" on that RCNitroTalk forum.
Now normally me, husband, father, boss, respected citizen in my community would not call out people in such a manner, except when I see people purposely out to lying to others for their own self-gain...I say something. Always have and of course I also will. In this example, this guy is not just "ignorant" but he's malicious.
When I was on the forum he woofed to a bunch of folks how the Trophy was better than the Hyper 7. I contacted him privately and was very tactful in wanting to understand why he felt that way. I gave no info on "who I was" or anything, I just asked if he could elaborate, and made a point to tell him I was asking privately so he did not feel as though I was calling him out.
To my disappointment, he came off like a pompous ass, and processed to lay out a bunch of bullshit (factually wrong information such how the hyper is heavier, has fewer alum parts stock, how hyper 7 parts are harder to find even though though the Hyper 7 was manufactured in England,etc). I came back with facts and references, and also hooked him up with a video per his claim that the Hyper 7 is slow "regardless of what engine is on it". This is objective so I asked his opinion showing these clips:
So I took all the crap he fed me and slapped his ass silly with it. He then had that moment I always wanted to see, and that is when of these "get with it" bullies gets curious about this chump whose putting it on him and see what's being put down for real. My friend calls it "failed smile"
Of course, since he could no longer bully he came back with that old standard: "don't you have anything better to do than monitor us?" Already told you my response, that's that. I mean no offense to to Ninnon or anything, but he's a bitch, or should I say SHE is.
WHEW! How's that for a rant, eh? Okay, the new trendy thing making the rounds in the basher forums, it joins the ranks of "factually wrong information that those who want to fit in our spewing" (even though they know they have no idea) is..... So I write this not to beat a dead horse with my normal viewers, but instead forget all that, my charter here is to warn newbies. I would love nothing more than you each to ask "why" when you read statements on those basher forums that I am claiming are false. Most newbies gloss over my channel as "too experienced" but they end up coming back once they have been bitten by those snakes,.
Aluminum clutch shoes last longer than composite. ??
What I Know
I feel 100% differently. I can only talk to my experience when It comes to this. Here are is what I know:
- I've run over 15 unique makes of aluminum shoes.
- I've run over 20 unique makes of composite.
The difference is so staggering that it cannot be measured. The best I can come up with is 20-1. You get 20 gallons of composite to one gallon of alum. Now my predicament is I have yet to wear a set of composites. I've gone 12 gallons on my oldest set. However with alum I average 1.25?l gallons and I've yet to get more than two gallons. I'm rough on my clutches in that I lay it out with a spot in clutch set up. I'm happy to prove this to anyone who challenges my findings.
To that end, the lesson here is not about clutches. Instead it's about integrity. This person, Ninnon, he knows that he's performed ZERO analysis on this,. I'm happy to provide JOURNALS of data, and hours of footage backing up my beliefs, and am telling you that one does nto accidentally make such a claim. One has to purposely lie Why do I care? Why don't you care?
In all seriousness, I truy believe at the bottom of my heart that people such as this "Ninnon" faker are what's bad for this hobby. I shudder to think how many people they drove away. People who went on the wild goose chase guys like this sent them on, NEVER leading to success. So the newbies threw the arms in the air and called it a day. All so that guys like Ninnon can "fit in" on some whack internet forum,concerning toy cars (of which they failed miserably at).That's some pathetic shit, IMO. .
p.s.
As always, PLEASE tell them I said this. I welcome any and all civil conversation about any nitro-rc related subject. Until then, I'll do my part by posting information such as this (and I assure you I gain nothing for doing this).

I made a new friend.
Recently I 'caught one'...meaning I was able to find:
1,. A guy doing a video about tuning who states my method is incorrect
2. He only spoke about what the needle do, not how to use them.
3. I approached him in a tactful manner asking him to elaborate on his method, as I don't see how it can possibly be used to race tune an engine.
4. You see, as he decided to go out of his way and state I was wrong with my technique, I thought it was a great chance to dialogue. Instead of dialogue, he (as I expected) got shitty and went in to the ol' "I been tuning engines for 20 years and I'm an auto technician so I'm a pro.."
(Well, see below for some highlights)
How was it I knew he'd respond as such? Well, here are the common denominators:
1, He was 'reading' what the parts on the engine do...not explain how to tune.
2. His 'assumption' about tuning was wrong, so I knew from there he is a fraud.
3. Of course the face he thinks he's a high-roller with his HPI engine (I have four of them, BTW), showed me where his bar was (not very high).
4. It cast in stone when I noticed he had a lot of videos, but no running nitro videos.
5. After I challenged him (both tactfully and in a way he can understand: grimy-like: he lifted up his skirt and banned me, essentially saying I was a noob and not good enough to dialogue with him. I told him I was still a newbie, and he literally said "I don't deal with newbies: blocked"**
6. HE PROMOTES THOSE SUPER-CHARGERS. Okay, I know nothing about them, other thebn everyone know who touts them, well they can't tune for shit.
These are the lies these guys live in. Any thinking person knows the truth, so why does he go that route. Does he think people will say "yeah....you are more skilled then this Newbie!!" and not analyze what's real? That is a slap in his viewers faces, no?
Look...say what you want, but if someone called out my manhood on anything I man'd up about, I would go down swinging. Win or lose, respect mine.However I'm just amazed at what little bitches are out their yapping their mouths like this. Grown-ass men, to boot!
So with that, I thought I'd break down the most common 'responses; I see when I essentially put it down on what of these confidence men. I might not be a "pro" at RC (like the subject matter in question call himself, but I am a pro at dealing with charlatans like this. Couple this with the fact instead of being an automotive tech, I'm a pansy computer nerd, so I'll put that shit to some use with deez stats. ;-)
98% Block Me
2% I block when they get on that silly shit ("I'll kill you and your family you faggot" type shit...of coruse I'm easy to find in this area so if you are about that I appreciate the heads up) ;-)
100% - I'm the MF'ing boss and call the shots when it gets like that. Keep reading, you'll see what I mean.
Of the 98% that block me, I approached 100% of them with tact and dignity. I know this because, well it's how I am. I figure if anything, I've performed my due dilligence by playing nice, but I can indeed take it anywhere that I please. I
46% End up saying: 'I've got better things to do than make videos". I find this funny because I agree in that they instead spend all their on forums jibber-jabbing instead of filming and showing their shit.
17% State: "I'm just a basher" which confuses me because they are the ones tellling people about thick diff oil,. and sway bars and clutch shoes etc. etc yet end up saying 'whoa--whoa...I'm not in to all thart" when questioned. ???
14% End up stating: "I'm not a pro I do this for the fun of it". This simply shows me they don't tune in, because more so than anyone, I've downplayed any "cred" I have and instead focused on the fact I'm just a ...m. ..t. . ...r.. well, you already know.
12% Say: "I'm like to tune my engines on the rich side" (or "I don't lean out my engines"). First: I've shown the longevity of my engines and lay it down with every disadvantage I can come up with. It's not lke I show brand new engines in my clip. Many of them are old ragedy-ass stock engines I get straight thumping. Second, tuning rich or lean means you aren't tuned. I'm done trying to explain that.
8%: Say what this guy does: "You're a newbie and cannot possibly know more than me" All the while have NOTHING to show and some how think people are going to believe that?
3% Don't say a damn word.
To that end, I will say I've had a few come up and say "man, you are right I just got caught up but I would like to learn more" and to a man I've helped ALL of them as I could. So no bully here...but at that same time if you pretend to be something you aren't, to the point it's taking money out of people's pockets, people who don't know any better yet...I'm saying something.
LASTLY:
So with all this said, the above is actually a small minority. As in less than 1% of the folks I deal with. The other %99+ are good fellas and regular guys who simply get it. I learn from them and vice-versa. It's the predatory nature of the blowhards I think should be called out. And (this will be the final time I say this), please understand it doesn'ty 'get to me'. Just because someone stands up for what they believe it doesn't mean it's altering their mindset or behavior. It's simply one of many wrongs I try to make better. If we all did as such, well...you already know. ;-)
Fuaally, below is the comedy in full effect. He kept posting comments asking me questions, but I was blocked so I can't respond, so that shows what bitch this f*ck-boy really is.
**For anyone out there who, like myself, are a newbie. Have no shame. Don't let these cowards bully-talk you. This is nothing but silly-ass RC cars, so know this: the ones that act as such, it won't be long before you surpass them. They are stunted all-the-way around, so just keep doing your thing, and lean on the folks who you know are legit (there are plenty of them out there). http://nitrorcnerds.com is a great place to start!

To that end, I will say I've had a few come up and say "man, you are right I just got caught up but I would like to learn more" and to a man I've helped ALL of them as I could. So no bully here...but at that same time if you pretend to be something you aren't, to the point it's taking money out of people's pockets, people who don't know any better yet...I'm saying something.
LASTLY:
So with all this said, the above is actually a small minority. As in less than 1% of the folks I deal with. The other %99+ are good fellas and regular guys who simply get it. I learn from them and vice-versa. It's the predatory nature of the blowhards I think should be called out. And (this will be the final time I say this), please understand it doesn'ty 'get to me'. Just because someone stands up for what they believe it doesn't mean it's altering their mindset or behavior. It's simply one of many wrongs I try to make better. If we all did as such, well...you already know. ;-)
Fuaally, below is the comedy in full effect. He kept posting comments asking me questions, but I was blocked so I can't respond, so that shows what bitch this f*ck-boy really is.
**For anyone out there who, like myself, are a newbie. Have no shame. Don't let these cowards bully-talk you. This is nothing but silly-ass RC cars, so know this: the ones that act as such, it won't be long before you surpass them. They are stunted all-the-way around, so just keep doing your thing, and lean on the folks who you know are legit (there are plenty of them out there). http://nitrorcnerds.com is a great place to start!

I haven't posted on here in a while, as I;ve not had anything interesting I deemed worthy. More on that later.
As my channel (unfortunately) grows, I notice that there is a trend of people who for whatever reason simply cannot accept the fact there are people who are doing what they pretend to do, and they view it as being sassy, I view it as real shit. Different era, I guess. And because because they cannot "hang from the shoulders" (meaning make toy cars do what I'm doing--oh my) they turn to "hate".In the grand scheme of things its disappointing.
For those that know me, they realize I'm kind of different in that I grew up kind of a "street urchant" make big money in the pro boxing world, learned technology as it was happening (real-life, Silicone Valley shit) and made more money doing that. People laugh as I'd work with Roy Jones Jr and his camp one day, developing new software protocols the next.
I don't know if I was just lucky, skilled, or both...but it's just my background. With that, I have strong relationships with some incredibly successful (as in VERY successful) people from a breadth of industries.
I don't hate: I appreciate.
A few months ago, I was chatting with and old acquaintance, Sugar Ray Leonard when he was in town to announce a fight on NBC. Most guys my age should know who he is, but if not I assure you he was very well known back in the day. Irregardless, I tease him as I was not a fan of his coming up. I'm a Hagler/Hearns guy (and don't back down from that) and without going in to detail was the guy who would find people for guys like that to fight so they could grow as champions. Basically a pro boxing "scout"...at the highest level. Anyway, Ray is much older than me and I respect him very much. I was not his fan,but he better than Hagler/Hearns. Real shit and I recognize it. Anyway, when I saw him last he told me "I found out quickly the better I got the more popular I became. The more popular I became, the more people hated me...just because...that's life, John" In other words, "Fu*k it". ;-)
I've determined right now that for every 14 "advocates" I have....this being people who truly appreciate what I'm doing here, which is allowing you to get a peak behind the curtain as I ;learn this challenging hobbty there is 1 person who is as "hater"/ I determine this because I'm tortured at night by those who are jealous..either that or I'm a stats geek. Don't remember.
Either way, that;s a pretty strong ratio of people...well--who get it..
It's interesting, as I';ll pubslish a video that is,, say 12 minutes long, as an example. Within 30 second of publishing, I'll already have 1 :"hate". Of course then the likes begin piling up for those who are, well....real. I mean how do you hate someone saying "here are some tips you can try that I've yet to see anyone ever offer, let alon show the results".; In the event you have a problem with it, talk about it....but of course they cannot.
Here is how I envision these haters. Not mincing words here as if someone has issues over toy cars, well I'm a little fascinated with that. ;) I see 'haters' as:
They said to write something interesting on this blog (still sounds so gay), and this what I find interesting. Go Cowboys! ;-;)

- Typically a generation younger than I am (mid-30's).
- 1/4 in to having a family, starting to doubt their true worth now that they've been to the mountain top, reality has a way of introducing itself.
- When the lights are low, kids tucked in, they put on their lipstick and panty hose, kick back with boxed wine and start to relieve their anxiety it a cowardly way.

That even impressed me!
Okay, fellas. Look, I'm the first to admit I've got some engines that under the right circumstances get as silly as a nitro engine can possibly get. Real shit. One thing you should know is I have a warped sense of humor. By that I don't mind telling those who are reading this: 'don't go by my videos' when judging their peak performance,
Over the past two years, I have purposely scaled back footage of what my engines do, which is rip ass unlike any I've seen. This is real--should I lie about what I see? I'm also the first to admit that it surprises the hell out of me, but it is what it is.
One reason I've scaled back the 'wicked nasty' footage, is in hopes that someone would doubt my claims. Then, I go for the knockout, by showing my engines in what I typically see.
All I can say is: PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE ME. ;-) I'm simply waiting for the prime opportunity to say, 'Oh yeah?' and then unleash what I view on an almost daily basis.
Said differently, I put out just enough to solicit interest, but to a man, I assure there have been only a few times I've published how freaking nasty my engines get. Bragging? Quite the opposite. I'm setting the bar low in hopes one of these FLBs feel the need to flex muscle in whatever lighting they might have caught in a bottle...at which point I truly lay it down to end any and all conversations with respect to which "approach" is more advantageous".
Now, I'll preface this by saying my initial comparison is based on YT videos. Then one day I noticed my OS25 XZ started turning some heads at the track. Then I noticed my clocked p5, then my Roma...and well pretty soon I might not be able to drive them around the track...but I was obvious on multiple occasions I had the nastiest engine--and soon I was helping those who helped me tune, and it was the pleasure of a lifetime because they went that extra mile in helping me maintain the high bar I have for these things.,
I am a huge fan of Neil Peart, whom for all intents and purposes is known along with Buddy Rich to be the most talented percussionist over the past 50 years. I remember as a kid reading where Neal wrote about how he realizes the skill-set he has. More importantly he has the realization there is someone---or some people--perhaps from an African tripe that have invented and employed beats which have not been employed in the Western world..If they were, the percussion ensamble would be so complex many would struggle to fully appreciate it. As an 18 year old blaring Rush in his room, you can appreciate how I was like "Yeah man. Neal is really deep, man." Ha ha
But he was. Real shit,
Today, I watched my Tamiya 801XT "hover" with its Clocked Novarossi 28-5. I was running an Alpha 2081 (uhm...we have a match, party people). I was wheeling the Truggy on demand, I wheelied it the length of the field we were on....multiple times, I have much of this on a video coming out called "A Day with the Tamiya 801XT". Every now and then I sit back, and think Deeeeeeyaaaaaam! The last time I thought that in this hobby was when my D8T did the nastiest 20 laps in the history of Truggies. I swear had I published it to Hot Bodies, it would have been there poster vid with respect to attrition. But it was not fully stock so I kept that footage to myself. I will soon unleash that as I literally laughed out loud with respect to how durable this things can be if you make them like that.
And, uh...I make them like that.
Short Version: I don't profess to be the best at any of this, and have bent over backward to show rather than jibber-jabber. I get--and respect--the fact that so many of you "get it"., ;-) So as to show my gratitude, I'm fixing to unleash some shit that I am confident ALL will appreciate. Just a bunch of footage of nitro rc vehicles going fast and hard at all times. I like it. And if you are in to that kind of stuff, I have a feeling you will too.
