Still spending what I can afford to on the stuff, just can't afford as much so my purchases have to really count, plus I've been bitten by the 1/32 slot car bug HARD now too.

Joe,

I just got the email on the slot car racing at HT. Great idea to get folks in the shops!

You should have guys demo'ing RC nitros in the parking lot....you'd prolly seel loads of them, too!

BJoe · (#5 (**permalink**))

Yea I keep getting those e-mails too, I'm working down there over the next couple sundays so I may have to bring a couple with me.

what they need to do is have someone driving a crawler on the course thats right next to the slot car track.... Bet you could sell as many Axials as they could get in stock (oh wait...they already do)

Im active because its the only thing that is exciting to me. Most other things in life are actually, pretty boring to me. Lol

go pick up a jeep or truck and start building it up and go offroading man. Its a blast.

AddictedtoNITRO · (#10 (**permalink**))

need one that says, Still on forums but it's too damn cold outside to do anything!

J-Dub · (#11 (**permalink**))

lol, I dont make enough money to build a vehicle. It'd be a jeep, but I'd go small-block. Lol...dont have the cash bro, RC's cost 1/8th real offroad so its good enough for me. D:

Michowski · (#12 (**permalink**))

suprisingly I put about the same amount of money into my truck as i did with all my revo and crt cost and its capable offroad. Figure about 2 grand for driveline, 2 grand for suspension, and a grand for tires. If you really wanna go all out you can get new bumpers, winches, cages, depending on what you wanna do. The possibilities are endless.

J-Dub · (#13 (**permalink**))

Yeah I know. It's just when you break a real car it doesnt cost 6 bucks to fix. Lol

I'm preparing to get out I think, I just joined a band and I'm needing a new amp for my bass, selling all my r/c stuff will only cover about 1/2 of the amp costs.

I've been selling my stuff off. I'm looking to buy a house so I have to kill off a couple hobbies. Only will be workin on the Camaro and music. With 6 guitars, 2 basses, 4 amps, harmonicas, a couple Synths, and a recording equipment gets spendy.
