The growing realization of how serious people are about their opinions/advice is frightening. I understand, everyone has one, and is allowed to have them, but when people start forcing their opinion as fact, is ludicrous. I have many opinions, advice, and what works for me type of stuff, but the reality is, what works for me, may not work for you.
Example:
The never ending debate over what tires are the best is like arguing with a wall. Find a tire that works for your style of driving, and or environment and go from there… Here’s the problem with that… Someone will argue with you, everyone, or anyone that does not agree with what they claim as the best tire. Proclaiming one tire to be superior over all other tires is asinine, and moronic. A side note to all of this really comes down to what foams you use, so the tire argument shouldn’t be about the tire, but rather, the foams, because what’s the first thing most people do, change the foams, so really, the tire is not the argument anymore.
Then comes setups, CMS’s, axle mounted servo’s, scale, hardbodies, lexan, Axial, Vaterra, RC4WD, then accessories, etc etc… The opinions are endless, limitless, and will be around as long as cockroaches. I like hearing other peoples opinions, advice, and or jokes about what’s best. What I don’t like are trolls trying to create tension, division, and or hate towards products, people, and or groups for what they use… What’s the point exactly? Is your pride more important to you than being helpful? If you’re getting offended, then I’m probably talking about you.
Forcing your opinion or advice as the only way to do something is not only stupid, but it also causes frustration for the one asking questions and wanting to learn. Instead of getting some real, helpful options, said question asker gets to witness a pissing contest as to who’s got the biggest stream… It helps no one, and restating what you said with an attack after someone else says something that doesn’t agree with you, well that’s just childish and you should probably go take a time out.
I for one take this seriously, and I try my hardest to let my opinion fly, and I try not to rebuttal when someone tries to contradict what I said. The troll bait is hard to ignore sometimes. I am great with what I have, what I do, and what I build, but I am always learning, and trying to improve what I do, use and abuse. The only way to do this is to get advice, and or opinions from other RC’ers. My suggestion, weed through the ones that are forcing/trolling and go with the ones that are helpful. They are out there, I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
If you do anything, TAKE MY ADVICE BECAUSE I’M RIGHT!!!
I hope this helps people with any frustration you may have with questions, and or how to deal with these situations. Ignore, block, repeat until all that’s left is people you like, trust, and can talk too.
