guess you'll have to move me to the "hmm" list...

anyways, all im saying is, if non-kyosho/iwaver cars will be allowed, rules must be in place to level the playing field. it would not be fair (or fun) to prepare a car to the rules and then someone shows up with a not so legal car and tries to dominate that race...
hmm... which brings me to ask the following question... if the speed limit is set at.... er say 21kmh (right madrax?) on the tamiya speed checker... would it matter what you drive? not meaning to spark any debate or anything... just a question... as i sure heck don't know the answer...

i guess it would make an interesting point of discussion though...

my philosophy is:
"I fight fair. and i prefer to win or lose fair and square rather than by cheating"


very harsh words... i highly highly highly doubt that it was donuts intentions to CHEAT ...

Just race, it's all for fun anyway....RC racing is a hobby not a career. Whether 10, 20 or 5 people show, just race for the fun of it...let's not be too technical about things and just consider it as a challenge. Yes, a kawada can run rings around a miniz anytime and i've seen it live in our track but it depends on how you drive your miniz, you can still beat a kawada, i've seen it before. TNT can share his kawada vs miniz experiences.

Yes, I agree with Highwayman, I don't think DONUT can do that, he doesn't even know how to spell the word "CHEAT", hehehehe. He's a long time mini scale rc enthusiast.

Highwayman and I are cooking up something for your miniz/micro rc fans....we'll let you know when the heavy rains come in....

Thanks for the positive character ref, FBJ & Highway . Regarding the Kawada, that piece of $%#@ car didn't help me any against you speeding $%#%! Looking forward to running with you guys again...sometime.

i never meant to imply anything towards donut... im generalizing coz ive seen it in many other forms of racing that someone will always find a loophole and make a mockery of a race...

if you feel offended donut, i apologize...

but i will never change my philosophy and will not change my feelings towards those who would rather find loopholes in rules than run the way the rules dictate...

im just saying that for me, happiness is a clean and fair race...

...Anyways, nice discussions my friends!... let's device the lang the most appropriate race format tommorow.. depende nalang sa cars ng players.. dami kasi klase e.

..Also.. since only half will show up, this could be a two-day race.. let's wait for the other half's busy scheds

...have no idea. honestly, i don't know what i'm doing!! ..bottom line is.. i want the race to be as FAIR and as FUN as possible!.. some players kasi can't slow their cars down.. wawa naman stock racers who fear upgrades

...So let's play just for fun guys. Just for Fun! (and the prizes of course) ..break even lang kami dito

What the F*** are you talking about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do you even hear yourself???

now i'm offended !!! you're actually implying that we rather bend the rules rather than fight fair !!!

that's why "open" rules are always best... no more room for "bending" !!!!

and in open rules Driving skills are more important rather than the best equipment !!!


this is a fact !!!

In SPEC racing, equipment WILL and DO matter !!!

in the PHILS, you can never make a career of racing, no money, unlike in other countries where pro-drivers can actually make money out of racing, so please... please... before i say something here i MIGHT ACTUALLY REGRET !!!



im just saying that for me, happiness is a clean and fair race...

sino ba pina-tatamaan mo ???
