neighbors!!! - kevinF - 07-15-2006
ok well my mom just told me that the neighbors are complaining that i run my revo DURING the day no earlier than 12:00 and no later than 9:00......so now i cant even ride in my front yard let alone the back yard.....no i gfot to go back in the feild. WTF why dont they come up to me and ask me to shut it off???
and no my neighors kids are all my age or a little younger. there is one baby a couple doors down but the little girl loves to see it run....when ever she hears it she runs to the window to watch it.....her parents havent complained but other neighbors have.
anyways does anyone else have neighbors like this?

Just forget about what they said and run it, let them come and talk to you. My neighbors SUCK! You can ask Traxxas Junkee and Destroy my revo 15- If I or anyone else even comes close to their yard, we get a "I tried telling you nice, over and over, but now I just going to yell-GET THAT DAM THING OFF MY LAWN!!!!" They think that the nitro fumes are killing the grass while it's really their dog doing #1 and #2 in their lawn if you get what I'm saying...
They really don't care about what time though, they're usally up early and to bed late, they party and drink alot...

Most places have some kind of noise laws, but unless your running a loud ass rubbed pipe or something, the nitros do not break the law. If you keep it on your own propery and run at reasonable times of the day, then your in the right. Try being the upstanding one ad go talk to them. Explain that you dont cause trouble, blast loud music, litter their lawn with trash, play stupid pranks, etc. You just have a hobby that you would like to enjoy. See if there is a time that would bee less intrusive the them. If all that fails, then they are just jerks and don't worry about it.

Revo2k Wrote:Just forget about what they said and run itThis is the mentality that pi$$es off your neighbors. Show some level of maturity and approach them, talk to them and come to a mutual arrangement where everyone is satisfied. If they have asked you to stay off their lawn... stay off.
let them come and talk to you.
My neighbors SUCK!

If you show them respect (most likely) they will be more accomidating to you running your R/C.

ORC, I've tried that. It's been that way since day 1. I've tried talking to him directly, talking to his son, and nothing works. I just stay off now.... Occasionaly I'll land badly and tumble into their lawn. That's when I get beeched at.

Cant you jump the other way and then you wouldnt even have a problem?

i think there is some bushes or a drive way
neighbors!!! - Traxxas_Junkee - 07-15-2006
He could, but that is like the "small side of his lot/grass so he would be in the other neighbors yard. If he jumps the other way, he'll somewhat stay in his yard.

Nope...Then I'd be landing smack on concrete or hitting cars and then hitting concrete. Here look at this movie real quick;
K2-Jump
My house has the jumps in front of it. The neighbor that I have a problem with is the house with the lawn that my buggy clears (it's mine and theirs butted together).
That day I avoided the problem by;
Driving when they weren't home and
Clearing their lawn! They never said anything about the driveway!
Muahahaaaa....

Oil trails from the exhaust on the concrete will make them madder.

Naa.. I'm never idleing long enough unless it's right in front of me to leave a trail. Plus the side exhaust compared to the revo's down one helps.

When I had the exhaust on my supermaxx pointed down, there were lines on my neighbors driveway like a month after I ran my truck on it lol.

yeah well i just talked to my mom today about why they didnt come tlka to me....I guess they dont have a real problem with it....but my one neighbor I guess takes napes during the day.....now if she woulde have one of her kids come out and tell me shes taking a nap and that I need to kill it for a few hours i would be ok with that.
neighbors!!! - rocco79 - 07-15-2006
Traxxas... May i ask how old are you? Not being rude bud but somtimes if your a younger guy an adult would rather just talk to another adult instead of dealing with a younger guy who might just shoot them some attitude ..
See when i was like 14-15 years old. I had a baket ball hoop and on the other side of the hoop was a gentle hill and the ball would roll down that hill onto my neigbors lawn. It never damaged anything but i had the cops called on me atleast 6 times... Nobody EVER came out too talk to me . They always dealt with my mom.
Just sayin that you shouldnt be so bent that they didnt talk too you 1st.
neighbors!!! - kevinF - 07-15-2006
rocco im 14......im not bent they didnt tlak to me....that makes sense what you said though.
I just wish that they would ask me to shut it off cause theyre taking a nap or w/e......im a good kid i wouldnt give them attitude or direspect them

oh and rocco I beat them all but the cop shined the light on my first and said he was going to arrest my mommy and daddy....lol then he gave me a speech about how he might have had to get out and come tackle me, but by the looks of him he probably would rather tackle a donut....lol
