Yup. I also explained myself in later posts.

HAHA Yeah Mike, your ignorant. All those laps made you lose your mind. At least your warm with your blanket of arrogance to snuggle with.

Clarification, Mike knows I'm kidding.

"andrew, that boat is going FAST!"
" that boat runs fast, Every time!!!"
" have you had to rebuild the motor. no"
" its amazing how you can just charge the batteries and use it every week!"

Hey, how are you guys getting all those laps outta your geared 05's and nicads anyways?

[Doug Smock]

Yep, he got some on himself. Even with a spray gun.

If Ed can do it anybody can right?

If we put your speedo on the outside of the boat they'll stay cooler too.

Anybody else? As long as we're ripping me, let's hear some good ones....

[T.S.Davis]

Even with a spray gun.

It's a Wagner and it was windy.

Also, we pick up speed by running hard on the down hill sections.

It's ok Mr. Cherry. We all step in poop once in awhile.

[Heaving Earth]

and when i do, its an elephants s$$t. the usual. one reason ill never race….

[T.S.Davis]

It's the fact that all these guys are ridiculous fools that keeps me racing.

Ya know.. we all are brothers in this.. its time to let it go. If somebody makes a comment like that, inform them and LET IT GO. Maybe they really don’t care how fast they go. Maybe they really don’t care how BIG they are. I don’t know but its time to let it go man.

We "Nitro Guys" KNOW full well the power of current FE boats. If I was into chasing SAW records it would be with FE power.. But im not… I am into heat racing, make mine a Nitro boat.. so what, who cares.

Its the guys out of the loop that you want to help. Let face it you know when somebody is being an ass.. let it go.

I have seen "little boat" syndrome from you FE guys too. Cop an attitude because they "race fast electric boats". It goes BOTH WAYS man.

Now for the gas guys..............CRIPES...

Its time to call a truce.. get over it.. I am a DIE HARD NITRO RACER.. and I am OVER IT. I don’t like being called ignorant but I can get over that too.
Lets RACE BOATS!

Mike........is it still okay for me to call you a fossil? How about nitroll? That's my favorite. There's a great one for gas guys but it's a PG forum. We need a good derogatory for FE guys. Lithium sniffers? Sparkies?

I prefer boat racers. Maybe that's the difference that bugs me about some guys. Some are more attached to their fuel source than to model boat racing. I'm probably borderline but I don't have to run nitro to recognize what a subtle art it is. It's just a different set of parameters. Parameters that can be learned.

I like to go to nitro races just to watch. I could ask questions and learn nitro probably but I don't. If someone asked me about nitro I would have zero answers. In that I am completely ignorant. I'll probably stay that way too so am I any different than an ignorant nitroll? Not really. We're the same.

FE has a collective chip on its' shoulder. I think because not too long ago we really were just runn'n toy boats.

If we can all have a little respect for each other the hobby will be fine.
