My Traxxas stuff has been fine. Any substance to this, or just general mindless Traxxas-bashing? just wondering. >Re: im lost >Group: rec.models.rc.land Date: Mon, Mar 10, 2008, 10:29pm (CDT-3) From: >Stooopid@duuuh.net (GTD) >My Traxxas stuff has been fine. Any substance to this, >or just general mindless Traxxas-bashing? just wondering. Prior experience owning poor traxsux product. Just as you can say yours has been fine without it being "mindless praising" Im saying mine sucked and giving my opinion that to get rid of it- not "mindless bashing". He can choose whatever to do. Im not going to waste his time trying to get junk to run. I shouldnt even have put Losi in there due to the crappy M-LST The old Losi when it was "Losi" made great stuff but since they left.quality is going down down down. Horizon cares only about the name being put on any rc that comes in the place. The other brands that I have owned I have not had issues with. . >> Re: im lost >> Group: rec.models.rc.land Date: Mon, Mar 10, 2008, 10:29pm (CDT-3) [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > can choose whatever to do.

Funny how some of ours runs fine, with little time spent, maybe it's not the product after all, or maybe everyone whose Traxxas products are woring fine are doing something wrong. Just because it was a waste of YOUR time, doesn't mean it's a waste of someone else's time. YET, , you WASTED your time posting in the first place. I still consider your post mindless Traxxas bashing because of the fact you didn't even remotely address the initial post. If it walks like a troll and it talks like a troll., , ,well you get the idea. . > I shouldnt even have put Losi in there due to the crappy M-LST The old > Losi when it was "Losi" made great stuff but since they left.quality is > going down down down.

I guess that's asking too much. . And calling a person a troll cause their first hand experience & opinion does not agree with you, is mature. You started with the personal thing I left my reply to an object til you didnt. You asked why I didnt care for traxsux I gave my reason and even retracted Losi as an alternative based on my experience & many many others with their protuct. A troll wouldnt bother. > And calling a person a troll cause their first hand experience & opinion > does not agree with you, is mature. You started with the personal thing > I left my reply to an object til you didnt. > You asked why I didnt care for traxsux I gave my reason and even > retracted Losi as an alternative based on my experience & many many > others with their protuct. A troll wouldnt bother. The guy asked for advice on how to tune his truck, you started bashing Traxxas because of your own incompetence and never gave the slightest bit of help. Nowhere did I ask if you LIKED Traxxas, I asked why the OP should give up on his truck. You used that as justification to vent over your own inability to do what many others including myself HAVE done. THAT, ,is a troll. Just like the babyish sh.t you replied in the next thread. The fact is that if Traxxas were such junk as you say, NOBODY would be able to use them. There are many of us who can and do, I don't know what your problem is. Lets see youre the one swearing calling me things like troll incompetent babyish seems you are the IMMATURE one here. What your fanboyism got your feelings hurt. There is not any difference in my telling the op to ge a different vehicle than the other person replying to get an electric. He still basically saying get rid of it. You didnt even help the guy in your first 2 replies you cried about traxsus being putdown. Yet you fixate on my post cause of your feable immature fanboy biased to traxsux Now call me names and swear at me some more FANBOY. > Lets see youre the one swearing calling me things like troll incompetent > babyish seems you are the IMMATURE one here. What your fanboyism got > your feelings hurt. You can't get a simple rig working, that spells incompetent. You post crap that doesn't answer the question asked, that spells troll. You speak out against a product because YOU couldn't get it to work, that's babyish. > There is not any difference in my telling the op to ge a different > vehicle than the other person replying to get an electric. He still > basically saying get rid of it. > You didnt even help the guy in your first 2 replies you cried about > traxsus being putdown. It's called gathering information. Maybe you'd know that if you responded with information, other than declaring your own incompetence. > Yet you fixate on my post cause of your feable immature fanboy biased to > traxsux > > Now call me names and swear at me some more FANBOY. Not a fanboy, just someone that can get their rig working. But, I guess you think anyone smarter than you must be a fanboy. Keep trying. . Want to point out where I said I couldnt get the traxsux product running. It wasnt a matter of getting it to run but not to break. Of all the brands I owned/own the traxsux product was the least durable no other brand broke as easy racing it or bashing. My AE, Losi (except mlst), Tamiya, Kyosho, Duratrax, Monogram, XTM Ofna all took more abuse. Traxsux plastic was/is weak. A million maxx owners cant be wrong that was the biggest complaint weak plastic. > Want to point out where I said I couldnt get the traxsux product > running.

Then you admit your reply didn't even remotely address the issue at hand, , , and you still claim your post wasn't a troll. >Re: im lost >Group: rec.models.rc.land Date: Thu, Mar 13, 2008, 4:02pm (CDT-3) From: >Stooopid@duuuh.net (GTD) > >It's called gathering information. What the EINSTEIN you think you are couldnt use your vast knowledge, of getting simple toys to run, to help him. You had to look it up. You must not know as much as you think you do. But then FANBOYS never do. Oh Im sorry you quite possibly are a girl so FANGIRL may be more appropriate and why youre upset. MY apologies for not being PC. > i just picked up the hobbie i have a nitro rustler and no idea what im doing > my buddy got it running but it dies after 2 minutes of running what should i > do There's tons of info on the 'net on this, just search for "rc nitro tuning" or "nitro engine tuning". Also, I believe Traxxas has info on their site showing which needles are which, and baseline settings. http://www.rchobbies.org/cars_eng-tuning.htm http://www.rccartips.com/rc-nitro-engine-tips.htm http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3825/is_200211/ai_n9162390 http://radiocontrol.wikia.com/wiki/Nitro_engine_tuning http://www.rc411.com/forum/archive/index.php/f-15.html Read as much as you can, just to get the general idea, before you try the truck again. If you can, take it to a hobby shop and usually, they'll give you a quick lesson at tuning or other help, at least to get you in the ballpark. HTH Firstly, take the time to read and understand the manual that came with your new model, you will need to run the motor in if it is new, then it will need tuning. dont listen to the traxxas bashing, there is good and bad in all brands, I have personally had a lot of success with traxxas, and after all they sell more models than ANY other single brand world wide. The nitro rustler is a good starting point into the gas models as they are easy to work on and parts are easy enuf to obtain, most hobby stores carry parts for them, and ussually not too expensive. Have you run the engine in as per the manual ? >i just picked up the hobbie i have a nitro rustler and no idea what im doing >my buddy got it running but it dies after 2 minutes of running what should i >do >Re: im lost >Group: rec.models.rc.land Date: Thu, Mar 13, 2008, 1:33pm (CDT+5) From: >u42082@uwe (brissyrcgarage) >traxxas, and after all they sell more models than ANY >other single brand world wide. UH That would be TAMIYA much bigger than traxsux worldwide. |
