Keyboard Warriors

Hi Everyone,

First off, to all of you that have sent e-mails and called the shop a big THANK YOU! I really appreciate the overwhelming support of my writings and y’all keep me going.

You know, the Internet is a wonderful thing. Used properly it’s a valuable tool for research and “hooking up” with the rest of the world. But alas it’s not without it’s fair share of mental midgets. Yep, I’m talking about the keyboard warriors. You know the types, they sit behind their keyboards and type things they would never say to you in person. I’ve had the privilege to actually come face to face with a few of these types and I gotta tell ya, the personal satisfaction I receive when they cower in the shadows is well worth the ticket.

Most of these keyboard warriors are just punks. But some of them are adults. And personally I really feel sorry for the adult type. It seems to me that when I come across an adult that’s a keyboard warrior they have “little man syndrome” or low self esteem that needs bolstering from the “group”. If they don’t get the recognition they “think” they deserve they go on the attack. Maybe it’s just a case of them not taking their meds or their psychoanalyst was on vacation for the week. Either way it’s pretty sad indeed. As for the punks, those teen to 20 something big mouths with no balls, I like sparing with them the best.

Unfortunately it’s all to easy to to win a war of words with them and after a while it gets boring. It’s like inviting them to a gun fight and they show up with a butter knife, lol. Inevitably their lack of education comes right to the surface in a keyboard war. In my latest bout with one of these low life trolls I never got the opportunity to finish him off but I was well on my way to doing so. If you’re up for a good laugh you just have to check out this link:

There you have it. A glaring example of a couple of Rump Rammer cronies. Personal attacks and insults, misinformation and flat out lies. So if you’re ever in the position to do some sparring with one of these small pieces of human garbage do like I do, beat them at their own game.

Keep the wet side down,

Paul.

Rump Rammer Racing Antics

Hi All,

Well I must admit that if I need a dose of twisted humor I visit a FE boat site that has quite the cast of characters. For the sake of this post and to “protect the innocent” I’ll refer to it as Rump Rammer Racing.

There was a time, and not to long ago, that this was a great site for sharing info and learning. Alas, times and people change and the one popular site is now a place where the pissing matches outweigh any decent info. It’s really clear that a core group of moderators and “experts” (lmao) have their heads so far up their asses they need a navel lens too see. Posts magically disappear when it’s not in the “core’s” best interest. Go figure. Don’t get me wrong though, there are great mods and contributors also but they are far and few between.

It’s like anything else one would find online, take what you read with a grain of salt. I find it interesting (and funny) that people from overseas post what I would call mis-information and it’s taken to heart by the less experienced FE boater here in the states. PROBLEM! This will cost people money. I would put merit to what these guys say IF they raced here like we do but they DON’T! My suggestion to these types is crawl back under the rocks you came from or come on over and show us how it’s done. In other words, put up or shut up and do it on our courses under our rules.

If you find this offensive, TO FRIGGIN’ BAD! You must be one of “them”. Take your ball and bat and go home. If you find it funny, then you must be one of the people that know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re the experienced and/or sensible boaters that are dropping from that board like flies and taking valuable info with you. The good part is that valuable info is still being shared, just elsewhere.

Rump Rammers is a privately owned site, or so I’ve been told. I’m okay with that, just like my works are privately owned. (or so they’ve been told, lol) It’s just like a little saying I once heard, “it’s all good” LMFAO!!

Keep the wet side down,

Paul

More Time Trial Records

Hi Everyone,

Ya, I know, I need to do this more often. I’ve got a bunch of things going on right now and I’ll try and get up to speed and let everyone know whats coming.

I attended another time trial in Huntsville, AL and had some success at setting a couple more records. My good friend and team mate Kelly came down from Ohio to take his first crack at some records, lucky SOB got a couple too. I gotta say I went to this time trials with spoiler boats. Stuff I just don’t run but since there’s Little Willies and Capt.Crunches lighting fires under my ass I figured why not take some records away before the ink drys on their paper.

Records set:
N1 Mono SAW, 7.548 sec. 29.809 MPH average. (fastest one way 31 MPH)
N2 Sport Hydro SAW, 3.344 sec. 67.284 MPH average. (fastest one way 73 MPH)

These were tough records to grab because the boats are small and we had some wind and choppy water fighting us all three days. N1 mono is a stock brush motor class, I built a 21 inch H&M No-Step 1 mono a week before the event. My buddy Kelly had to pick me up a motor from his local hobby shop to run in the boat. I told him to just get me what ever motor they said was the “hot” one, lol. So, at the event I had to take the motor out of it’s package and wire it up in the boat. Ha! No pond time dialing in this one and I set a record with a “box stock” motor! That’s right, no fancy tricked out motor from some guy claiming to have the “magic bullet”.

N2 Sport Hydro is an open motor class so I took the motor I set the N2 mono record with a month before and dropped it in a 25 inch shovel nose. Talk about a wild ride, that little boat was screaming across the water at speeds she just wasn’t designed for. There was one tiny set back though, I got greedy and wanted to up my record. Duh, cost me a stinky boat when I fried a speed control with a WAY to big prop.

One cool thing though, all my records were set with American made motors and speed controls. My old RC-Hydros ESC was in the N1 boat and a Neu motor and Castle Barracuda 125 were in my N2 Sport. Solid preformers all the way.

My Buddy Kelly had his fair share of luck also. In his first ever time trials he grabbed 2 records.

T-Sport Hydro SAW, 2.581 sec. 87.175 MPH
S Tunnel SAW, 3.628 sec. 62.017 MPH

Both boats left allot on the table, Kelly had what was needed to run 100 MPH plus in T-Sport Hydro but we ran out of time and water. That’s okay though, there’s always next time.

One of these days I’ll get serious about the time trials and build boats for speed only. Right now I get a kick out of beating records with my oval racing boats. Nothing better than taking a record from a big mouth with a boat I just tossed together, LMAO!!

Keeping the wet side down,

Paul.
