I am loosing my temper!
I am fuming, my dad always tells me I'm wasting my pay checks on R/C cars, but how can he say that when I earn the money and spend it on what I enjoy. He always takes the piss out of the hobby, I think it's time he grew up and reallized it is a proper sport!

Just send him onto Oople, no site promotes RC, it's serious side and also it's more relaxed side like Oople. Let him see Jimmys reports and let him see some vids and so on. I was lucky that when I was younger and racing, my dad backed me up and was my mechanic untill such times I was competent to do it on my own. Now I do the same with my own boy and we really enjoy the racing and spending time together at the track. Just keep plodding away and he might just come round 1 day lol. At least you're spending your money doing a hobby you enjoy, dad needs to realise you could be out on the streets doing worse things.

This sort of thing really saddens me...
I was really lucky, in that my dad got me involved in it, although I wasnt too keen to start with, but as soon as I went to the track, I was hooked. My dad also was my mechanic, and really helped me with understanding the car, batteries etc..which helps me today, and kept me out of trouble. I HATE to hear about parents not being at all interested in their kids hobbies, which are actually educational, and sociable. keep at him I say!!!

Jamie,
I started racing RC cars at a young age and it gave me a excellent understanding of mechanical issues and race setup, this lead to a job building race car engines for a living and then at the age of 19 I was offered a job at Williams F1. I have spent the last 21 years there 10 of which I spent on our race team travelling the world! It's amazing how many of us at Williams raced RC cars at a young age, it is a great way to develope skills and knowledge. Try running that past the old man. Cheers, James. Quote:

I think I can agree with all the above posts... However... you've all missed something.
Clearly he's just jealous you're having so much fun and have found something you love. Talk him into getting a car so he can race you, then tell him if you can beat him, no more winding up from him, until he can beat you, then he can say what he wants
