Each week, LiveRC will compile a top ten list of some random topic in the R/C industry, generally with a little humor or flair on the list.  Add to our list by commenting below and adding what your favorite item is, or if you think we missed an item!
  
This week, we take a look at the top 10 signs for cars to avoid on the track.
 
Any experienced R/C racer knows what signs to look for in a car that he/she should avoid when racing. Why? Because we all did at least one of these things when we started, thinking it was cool.  As our experience grows, these things may still be cool, but we have come to learn that they are "taboo" within the racing industry and we should avoid doing them like at all costs.  If you see someone doing one of these things, it is not necessarily bad or uncool, it just means that they are most likely a newbie racer who has not yet learned these "taboos."
