Cops and RCs - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-31-2006
Has anyone gotten stopped by the cops for being too loud or going to fast or an endangerment to pedestrians or anything stupid like that? I havn't yet but every once in a while I can see this old lady across the street look out and kinda glare at me. Im just waiting one of these days a squad car is going to come up and pull in my driveway.

yup a couple times. There always like i know this is cool and there wont be any problems but somebody called so we have to get you to leave now. They dont care but once somebody calls they have no choice but to stop you.
Cops and RCs - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-31-2006
Yeah, a cop was just driving by one time and was like 'Wow that thing is awsome and then hes like I wonder how fast it goes' he pulled over to the side of the road, got out with his radar gun and I was there talking to him for like 15 min. and hes like I gotta get me one of those. So I don't think I'll have any problems from him. lol

unless somebody calls and complains about you then he'll have to stop you.
Cops and RCs - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-31-2006
Yeah, I hope that doesn't happen, most of my neighbors like to watch me with them, In the summer some of the older folks will pull a few lawn chairs out in the driveway and watch. There were just a few older people that just moved in I don't really know them that well I hope they like the trucks as much as the rest of the neighbors.

cop was driving by once and stopped, and said that's kinda loud, but looks pretty cool. then we went on to talk for a while about them, and he said he was going to stop by the mchenry track one day in the summer to watch.
Cops and RCs - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-01-2006

When I had my SportMaxx, my nieghbors on the rightside are the biggest jerks on earth and complain bout everything. So when I was breaking in the engine on the SMaxx, it was 1pm in the afternoon on a Saturday and they called the police. They came and offer to help tune the engine when I was finished breaking in to motor, since he just got a T-Maxxa few months earlier. I thought that was kind of cool.

cool, i have neighbors on one side that are super nice and then on the other side i dont even know their names, i remember when i was little me and my friend were throwing a foot ball around and it went over the fence and i went to the door to get it and they wouldnt give it back to me.

No cops. Just one neighbor who asked if we could kill it for the day because the Revo was "freaking out his daughter". We were good neighbors and stopped running.

i rarely even see my neighbors their all like a gazillion years old and stay inside all day. i was driving in my back alley thingy its like a 1/4 mile and at the end their building a house were supposedly Mia Hamm and Nomar Garciaparra are moving there. but the guys building the house were asking me questions and stuff about my car thats the only time something like that has happened to me
Cops and RCs - Biodragen - 02-01-2006
Yeah some neighbors can be a pain.
Heck I had the police at my home over grass cliipings on the street and I was still in the process of cutting the lawn.
Cop was kewl and he knew it was total BS but just because they got a call they have to check it out.
I was like WTF I am still cutting grass and I was not even done--I actually just got started.
To me and my family the RC rides for as loud as they are---they do seem more quiet than a lawnmower you hear in the neighborhood.
The ol guy next to me thinks they are kewl and the kids just sit on the sides to watch this cruise around.

i had the cops called on me by some guy that got mad when my maxx beat his chevy blazzer in a race down the block
Cops and RCs - mikecooper - 02-02-2006
the first day I got my t-maxx, after break-in, I went to use it for fun and, not even a minute after using it, and a cop rolls around the corner, and got a complaint, and said that I wasn't breaking any laws, but he got a complaint, and asked if I would please stop it for the day.
Cops and RCs - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-02-2006
My neighbors are so used to coming around the corner and seeing the TC's in the road that they now drive REALLY slowly.....I have bounced off their tires and driven right under their front ends too many times. But they just smile.
Cops and RCs - rusty959 - 02-09-2006
wow, that would freak me out... bouncing off the tires... I was about 7 inches away with my rustler from getting ran over by our neighbor's truck one time for some reason it didn't turn... might have been radio interference or something. that kinda freeked me out... though not as much as this morning when I accedentally set the trashcan on fire... melted the lenolium in our kitchen... :eek: that really sucks... atleast $500 that I have to pay for now. but, I have never had da police come over... though I haven't done much driving of the revo in our neighborhood.
Cops and RCs - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-09-2006
My rustler did get run over once, it just clipped the front of a saturn car, i had to replace the arm, wheel, bearings, sliders, hub carrier and i think that was all but not sure.
Cops and RCs - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-09-2006
Luckily for me the car was stopped when I hit the tire or the RS4 would have been RS-Flat.
