So you decided that I am an ignoramus...
Jah2000:
You're right. I am an ignoramus. Despite the fact that you don't know me, what I've done in RC, or where I have travelled in RC, you have decided to call me an ignoramus. You also seem to forget about how I was commenting on my own experience, not making general inflammatory claims like a normal ignoramus. Must be some sort of super ignoramus. That's ok though. I'm not the one trying to prove that one hobby is cooler than another. I actually enjoy coin collecting more than RC racing. You don't see me getting defensive like a six year old who just found out that Unicorns are not real.
You're right. Guys who race RC cars don't know how to tune their cars. Playing with roll center, alignment, camber, turning axis, spring/damper rates, chassis torsion, etc etc, are not necessary. Most people just go to the store, buy a car kit that magic puts itself together, and decide to become awesome at driving toy cars and win regional championships overnight. These are the same people who only bought motor dyno's, tire balancers & lathes, precision cut tools, setup stations stations, and tweak balancers, because they want to impress chicks. Cuz apparently the good RC drivers keep their real tools under their table - you know, a flat head screw driver and a set of Allen keys from Walmart. That seems to be your impression of what on-road racing is like, and that's cool. Maybe your experience was different from mine. Maybe you still believe in the Tooth Ferry too. But I won't judge. I don't get defensive and try to tell everyone in an RC racing forum that I'm cooler and mightier than they are.
You're right. The ROAR national champion of RC drifting is a superior operator of toy cars. I am certain that after defeating those evil hordes of RC racers, this ROAR national champion of RC drifting jumps on his unicorn and rides toward the setting sun as it dips below the Pacific Ocean. As he arrives on the shores of the beach, he will pull out a conch and loudly blow into it to call upon Aquaman, who arrives in a giant floating clam shell that is pulled by dolphins. The ROAR national champion of RC drifting, while still mounted on his unicorn, confidently jumps aboard the floating clam shell that is pulled by dolphins and captained by Aquaman and whispers into his ear "do not allow the sun to set upon me". So they all float westwards, never falling upon darkness.
- ok now I am being silly and making things up. Everyone knows that there is no ROAR national champion of RC drifting...
I am sorry that you are unhappy with my own experience of RC drifting and the majority (not all) of drifters I have seen. I cannot change who they are and YOU cannot change who they are. Don't be upset that there are ignorant drifters out there. There are ignorant people everywhere, even at big RC racing events. There are plenty of ignorami in the world - don't become one of them.
