One question i had asked my friends about comps was,where does the money they collect for an event go to? T-shirts? Stickers,etc. Or does it end in someone's pocket.
I went to one comp, I have way more fun with our group weekend GTG. running trails and rocks high marking and line challenges. spending time running battery packs down rather then standing around waiting on a starting gate for a 10 min run.
Im with sickcivic, I live in the same area as he does north of akron,ohio i joined nostr forum. Im 34 doin this rc thing since idk 13 and ive met a few "rc" ppl around here and there and the ones i seem to meet r well tools sry. The one i can remember for sure, younger dude worked at hobbyshop, all he spewed was i got the newest expensive this and that like my broke ass cared about his expensive bolt-ons. When i mentioned things like holmes hobbies and others his face went blank, my point i know what im doin and everytime i meet rc guys they talk down to me like i just dont know. Ive wanted to get up with nostr for sum trail runs for sum time now my jk is a tank but like civic said i dont truely know these ppl, i still dont even have a lipo yet so id be holdin them back. And a comp have to go back and change things to meet the rules sry that trucks done on to the next. Ive even gone to the extreme of trying to build and give a friend a scx10, but i repoed it as he wouldnt put a buc in it.
The club I'm in charges exactly ZERO to compete. Nothing. Nada. Free. All one has to do is show up.
My point is don't assume there is an expensive entry fee if you haven't been.
And somebody reading this thread would think that every comp competitor is an ass. It's simply not true. Are all golfers and bass fishermen asses? I have no idea as I don't do either, but I'd guess not.
Don't assume, find out for yourself.
While we have lots of comps and some epic rock close to home, I only go to watch. It's probably the guys with the $1,000 scalers, and the ridiculous courses that turn me off to actually competing... Loves me some scale trail runs tho...
