Why do adults feel the need to B.S.?

[Engineer]

Making my weekly pilgrimage to the hobby shop and somehow walked into a conversation with some unknown person who wanted to regale me with tales of how he just finished building a 20S Typhon that did 230-240 MPH.

I was scratching my head for what sort of Jedi mind trick test I was supposed to be passing but I suppose my looks of indifference caused him to seek out weaker souls to conquer.

Not sure while people feel the need to spin tall tales with R.C. Cars - but that being said, what are some of the best B.S. stories you’ve heard (or told )?

“I PROMISE it’s my last one “

 

[Outcastblxnut]

I never broke a piece on my traxxas slash

 

[GRIFFINJ]

“I was just driving and the shock tower bent and the bulkhead cracked.....I didn’t hit anything”

 

[FatCatRC]

my personal fav " I wasn't jumping it that high I don't know why it broke" or " I barely hit it and it got destroyed" two top used lies on this forum.

 

[3d-rc.myshopify.com]

My personal favorite is I barely tapped the parked car going 30 miles an hour and it exploded I thought this was supposed to be tough

Will Arrma warranty’s cover my broken A-arms and bumper cuz clearly it’s not my driving skills that need improvement it’s the “product Arrma is giving us!! B.S learn to control your rig or just accept breakage as part of hobby!! It’s not called BASHING for nothing!!

 

[Doom!]

I get all my parts below wholesale because I know somebody.

 

[FatCatRC]

" I shimmed my diffs properly and they keep stripping, Arrma sucks I'm going back to traxass, they should come rtr like advertised" shows us a picture and there is no shims beside the ring gear bearing....yeah properly eh? or "I don't hose it down just splash water on my wheels and plastic parts, but for some reason my motor is rusted and my esc just keeps blinking?"

 

[Ron Burgandy]

Meh......
My Typhon is on 25s and easily goes 260-265 !
easy !!
249 all day !
no BS !

 

[Greengaunja]

It will all be out of my system after this Senton 6s.
The tree literally jumped right in front of my car!

 

[Sandracer_NL]

Claim: does Arrma offer warranty because mine broke after 5 minutes, I wasn’t even doing 50% throttle and was just driving in straight line so my esc and motor must be faulty!

Reality:

Was the guy's name Kevin?

 

[Grimbles]

Honestly darling, it only cost $8. Yes that is the only package I've had today.

 

[The Donut Man]

I once told a guy about my speed runner and he said he had a nitro engine putting out around 40 hp. He also allegedly had a 600 mph RC jet

 

[Kylerc]

noobs who buy an rc without any knowledge of what they are doing but refuse to accept advice from others:
“I...I...I just plugged the battery in and it just exploded wth I just want to be done with this hobby”

different subject.

Me: walks in with a set of new tires escs another motor and a pile of plane parts AND a bunch of other random stuff.

Brother: how much do you think you spent at hobbytown?

(Punch line) me: idk, maybe a couple hundred dollars??? I don’t think I spent that much...

hobbytown employee: you spent $5000 since you made your account with us!

 

[K-BASH]

Everyone has a traxxas that went 100 an whatever.i now how hard it is to get to 100mph.ALL B.S.

You live in Ohio right? Probably was @jondilly1974

 

[slick2500]

This was the best one I ever heard on here. "I ran my Arrma Raider full speed into a stop sign, the entire right side sheared off, it must be as cheap as a Chinese Rc car."

Sheesh man, I mean clearly he was talking in scale, you didn’t believe his Typhon could do 30mph? Tough crowd
