RTR! well, not really.....

I was out at the track the other day when a guy pulls up with a shiny new
T-Maxx 3.3. He filled his tank and set his truck on the track. I was
amazed how clean his truck was and how dirty mine was in comparison. I
asked him if he had been racing long and he told me he just got his truck
today. "In fact," the guy said "the UPS man just dropped it off about 2
hours ago!"

I watched him drive his truck around the dirt track until all of the sudden
a loud WHIZZING noise rang from his truck. I don't know what it was but he
was down for the count. He gathered up his equipment and drove away.

Next came a another guy with a bright and shiny new Losi. He said it was
his first time he got to run it and began trying to hit the jumps. I had to
leave the track. I couldn't bear the sight.

Both of them probably went home, read the manual, saw how many times the
importance of break-in was mentioned, and still feel foolish. Hopefully
they realize their mistakes and don't give up on the hobby.

I wonder what it was that let loose on the TMaxx. . .

Ahh, thank god for electric..

Yep, you've got it. I highly recommend electric to newbies. There's a
lot to learn even with electric. Nitro puts most over the edge. Then,
they get frustrated and leave the hobby.
