Things that irritate you

[RogueIV]

The fact that a Losi Mini JRXT 1/16 scale clear body costs nearly twice as much as it's 1/10 counterpart I just bought from SabulaTech last week.

The shrinking process involves magic. You can't put a price on magic.

Apparently they can.

flippers...just flippers, you know the guys that hear a part is discontinued and then buy up as much as they can and then multiply price times 1000...yeah, Those guys.

but gotta admit, those low profile tired pavement pounder trucks are a close 3rd at the moment. They get elbowed out by the squatted pavement pounders

Or when you mention a fairly obscure source for a fairly hard to find part(s) and the next time you go to purchase said part(s)......gone (this is probably 99% coincidence though). Just take a sip from the parts well, don't drain the thing. So yeah, hoarder-flippers. The only way to play that game is to escalate to it and then it's like an RC cold war parts race.....maybe I'm not as much a fanatic as I feel like I am. BUT, I do believe in "you snooze, you lose."

Wow all that I typed up there to realize that "discontinued parts" is what irritates me!

1000%

Or the guys who beg you for parts, saying it's for a special build. Then you see your part listed for 4 times the price.

Yep, Understand the fact that is the way it is. Difference is if you found out about it being discontinued and you'd have some time to deal with it...yeah, wait too long and its your fault. Now, if something gets mentioned its instantly gone and you'll find a bunch of guys posting the stuff on ebay for 500-1000% mark up. My own snooze you lose situation was with the 10-4 parts. Once it was mentioned that parts were getting low... I snoozed

Yep. Been there, Seen that. Happened to me here on the board. I can't really complain though since I didn't know what I had so it was my own fault. It did make me question some of the guys around here at that time which was early on. Once the 'no drama' became the norm most of those guys have faded into facebook fame.

F'ing daylight savings time! Hate it, wish it would be abolished! We're the only country that does it and not all states recognize it. It just needs to go!

Wrong again, mate.

I've heard "they're" trying to get daylight savings time to be year round. Doesn't bother me at all, I actually like the extra hour of daylight in the evening from March thru October.

You guys have it over there? I thought the US was the only weirdos doing it. Still hate it, though.

Yep, we have it, although not in all states (as you mentioned) - the progressive states have it, and the backward-arse states don't

Cheap people.

I recently broke down two Tamiya ORV transmissions. The first one (along with the whole truck) was generosity greased with red wheel bearing grease. Very generosity.

I thought that was bad enough. The second one was greased with anti-seize. I think that stuff is growing in my house now. I'm having to use contact cleaner (~$10 a can) to remove it.

Anti-seize??? WTF.... I sincerely feel sorry for you.
