I really don't get why this bothers you so much (rhetorical question; no need to answer). I don't hide what it is; I never try to hide that it's a link to an article. There are hundreds and hundreds of threads that don't interest me here. Guess what I do--I don't click on them. Instead I click on the others I do find interesting.
Are you trying to insult me (BTW, nothing says brave like a insult on a forum) by saying our site down in traffic? I hate to ruin your insult, but we're up 20% in traffic this year.
Look, relax and try to ignore my posts if you don't like them. Maybe you can block me or get me banned. I am sorry I offended you and the two other people. I try to post something different in a community that I believe will appreciate it. That's all.

Hahahaha. Of COURSE they're toys...being (relatively) expensive, (kind of) fast and (a little) dangerous doesn't mean it's not a toy. Those of us who race are racing toy cars...Most REAL race cars are considered toys (like my old dirt stock car), so I don't get why so many here are offended by the notion. If you actually race R/C for a living, then I can agree that it then becomes a tool...but it's still a toy car being used as a tool.
Here's my shop as of last night...full of other people's toys. Tell them that your R/C car isn't one.

/\ /\ /\ Very nice shop. My "shop" is a broken down XJ in my driveway. It isn't pretty and too is just a toy, but when I feel like getting my hands greasy, it fits the bill.

Toys. And when I run them, I'm Playing with them. Whether that's at the beach, baseball field or on the track I'm Playing with my toys.
I don't feel the need to define it any other way. My Hornet in 1985 was a toy, so was my RC10T in 1993 and so is my SCTE now.

It all depends what is the definition of "toy" for you
toy [tɔɪ]
n
1. an object designed to be played with
2.
a. something that is a nonfunctioning replica of something else, esp a miniature one
b. (as modifier) a toy guitar
3. any small thing of little value; trifle
4.
a. something small or miniature, esp a miniature variety of a breed of dog
b. (as modifier) a toy poodle
To me, a toy has nothing to do with the age or danger. A toy is made to PLAY and have pleasure. So yes I consider RC cars like toys, as well as every object I can play with. I don't see why so many rc fans react like it was something negative. Is it a shame to play? I'm proud to do rc but it doesn't mean I take it too seriously. I mean, these are rc cars to have fun with on a track or whatever the terrain is! I respect my toys as much as more "serious" things in life. They give me pleasure so I take care of them, as simple as that. I love playing and I wished everybody would play a lot more to get less frustrated in general just my 50cts
