TurboFurball Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 lol!!..or a left handed screw driver It was a Whitworth adjustable spanner back when I worked in a HGV garage ... plus the long stand, tartan paint, headlight fluid, etc. I didn't fall for any of them, so the guys resorted to pouring oil into my hair. *sigh* I miss those stupid b*stards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 i'm addicted too, bought by first one three years ago, and up til this week i still had five of em. I don't like selling them, i sold my Firestorm (i still regret selling that thing!) and instantly bought a 22 buggy to replace it, i just sold my ST yesterday and within four hours i'd bought a mint condition nitro Hyper 7 to replace it. My original Hyper 7 is still in a box, in bits, will i sell that? Never, not even part of it! It's such a fun car that i plan on rebuilding it either overpowered nitro, or brushless power, or end up having one of each. At current, my wish list stands at the following... High end 1/8 nitro race buggy (SWorkz S350 evo) Summit Yeti XL New 1/5 scale to replace my Baja Proline Pro-ST if they release it as it's own kit Another Scx10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ive got 3, 5th scales in a 1 bedroom flat, lol! And if my 002b turns up some how?, that would be nice but its probably dumped somewhere and its going to be in a right state if found, but yes I feel as though iv got an addiction with them but its a good addiction if I must say so myself.

The Dark Knight Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 At the moment I only have three but one of the for sale: Schumacher SS GT (race) Axial SCX10 (Hilux trail build) Team Associated B5M (for sale) I'll be getting a 1/10 electric touring car soon for racing and I'd like some sort of basher/trail car which will either be an Axial Yeti kit or Proline MT kit. Oh I also have a Hubsan X4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk1pr@ Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well, I got in to RC about 6-7 years ago? When the savage25 came out. Went mad on it with hop ups etc for a couple of years then left it alone until I bought my youngest lad a ftx carnage brushed for xmas to see if he would get in to it (just wanted him out of the house instead of being on bloody consoles / pads / phone indoors all the time) and since purchasing the ftx mid December I bought a second hand Losi desert truggy for my daughter so she could come out with us and because my savvy hadn't been serviced since a few years back I also bought myself a Mav Blkout MT and am mad for it again lol HELP!

Thunderwolf Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 when i first started in the hobby i was constantly buying cars and rollers just because i could, assuming funds allowed for it (i had 14 cars at one point in various states of repair) 9 years on, nothing has changed. my wishlist currently consists of 23 rc models.

Bought and sold various RCs which includes Hyper 10 ST, hPI Firestorm, Hyper ST Pro, HPI RS4.

TMaxxDave Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 My addiction is currently my RCs. Ever since selling my 1:1 car, a huge hole was in my life. So my Tamiya TB-01 came out of storage after many years to fill this gap, then a got a few pennies and decided the younger dream of a T-Maxx was needed, so it happened. Now with 2 RCs I feel I'm in a happy place, they both need tinkering with, and I can modify them as much as I want to. It's not a huge addiction, but it is a very nice hobby, and I can do it in the kitchen where it's dry and warm, lol Sent from my iPad Air using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thing is people might think we are sad, lonely train spotter types but they can say what they like, I might be sad and lonely but I'm no train spotter!!!! I don't own a beige anorak This hobby doesn't hurt anyone (unless they stand in the way!!) and we are not going out getting drunk spending every evening in the pub, we are not getting off our heads on drugs (we don't need em!!) And at the end of the day if the worst did happen and you fell into money problems at least you have something to sell and would get a large chunk of your money back too (no I didn't really say sell you imagined that bit!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 how many did/have u got??
