Competition is not like follow the leader. Comps do have gates and timed runs but not the everyone is gonna take the same line. They are going to take the line that best fits their rig. Follow the leader is only done for scalded. So all your doing is not really seeing what your rigs are capable of. Concrete is not for crawlers, if ur rig can't crawl on rocks good. Build it better or stop playing follow the leader with crawlers. Build a scaler to play the stupid thing you call follow the leader. Im not crawling no more with you 02tac. You don't have the right concept of a Crawler
Jeff,
Let's clear things up a bit;
-- As far as I am concerned formal competitions are nothing more than follow me runs with rules. That is my opinion of it and you can have yours.
-- Follow the leader is not a scale only thing. see above
-- I find the limits of what my rig can do while playing with it. I set out to have fun each and every time I play with any of my RC toys. If I push the limits cool, if not that is fine to so long as I have fun. Your definition of fun may differ. Cool
-- Any and all terrain I choose to run my crawler on is for crawlers. Just because it is called a rock crawler does not mean it cannot be enjoyed on other surfaces.
-- I will continue to play follow the leader with my crawler, plane, what ever. If you do not like that there is not a damn thing I can or will do about it. Use your RC as you see fit and I will do the same with mine.
-- Can the "..stupid thing you call follow the leader". You coined the term. Prior to your input we simply called it having fun.
-- Whether you crawl with me or not is of no concern. I will continue to enjoy my RC toys regardless of who is around.
-- You may not feel that I have the right concept of what a crawler is, but again, that makes no difference to me.
Lastly, it would appear that you have lost the first and most important concept of RC; that is to have fun. If you can come out and run for fun as we do, cool. If you are going to treat it as a serious endevor and make comments that what we are doing is stupid, then you may want to look elsewhere for people to crawl with. If, as you say, you were kidding; prove it with your actions.
