RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

so that means that since you kinda sorta threatened him, going by forum rule #3, you shouldn't be surprised if you were banned, right?

i'm not saying it's gonna happen. i'm just saying that your comment to him, about an opinion that in no way was directed at you and could've easily been ignored, would've been better off left unsaid.

now, everyone just let it go..... and hold your breath until i start to like this body. or don't if you don't want to pass out.

I'd also like to add that opinions are facts believed to be true by the person expressing them.

With that being said everyone is entitled to theirs, including myself.

My posts about supporting Jconcepts or any other manufacturer of parts to the re-re is based not of ass-kissing, but the fact that:
1) Regardless of anyone's (AE/RCtech/MyRCBox/LiveRC/etc) acknowledgement, RC10Talk had much to do with the re-re being possible (even if only from a gathering and sharing point), and while we may be a "small" community, we have a lot of guest traffic and that adds "market" influence.
2) Intellectual Arguments (ie not two or more people yelling Ford and Chevy) are awesome, arguing a point just because it's their opinion over another is re-retarded. Jason's roundhouse quip is a perfect example of a good argument, we all know he doesn't like the look of the A pillars (or does anyone, really) but instead of yelling "crap" he said that.
3) Negativity breeds more negativity period. Don't believe me, go search RCTech and look at everyone's "opinions" about everything

Maybe it's all the time I had as a sponsored driver, making sure that my actions were in support of those who supported my racing endeavors...just like companies like Jconcepts are attempting to do with the re-re. Are they trying to make a profit? I sure as hell hope so...

One of the great things about this site is that everyone gets along so great and there is very little negativity that goes on here!

Absolutely. And I'm so stoked that Mr. Norris is the gatekeeper among us!

Unfortunately this thread does not portray that!

Well to get back to the thread and for what it's worth I love this shell....sometimes the whole point of vintage is that something is so ugly that it's cool.

Just got my Detonator in the mail today along with a Viper body. The Detonator does look better in the hand. Now I have never had a Viper body before and looking at it I have to say it's a little ugly. The cab is a little to wide for my taste but I'm sure they both will look better with some paint on them. Many of the bodies I've seen on the forum look really good painted.

Should change his handle from Gomachv to Gonostradamus. Typed 20 pages/over 2 months ago..

I can do that....

How bout "GoMcLovin" I like that one better

Very few get the Speed Racer reference even with the avatar

The "v" needs to be capitalized.

I admit, I originally tried to pronounce your screen name as it was spelt before I realized what it was. Because of that I still read your name as "Government Cheese."

Yeah? Well you died on Glee so there

Too soon?

I read Gomachev so it sounds similar to Gorbachev.
