I've been in this addiction for 30 years , I've owned and built all kinds of RC products , and got to the point of building 5 scale trucks n cars and love doing them , but my problem is , I have to many now , 7 in all and my other rigs have reached insanity levels , I'm 67 now , been fighting cancer for years , and now some heart troubles has come along , so I've been trying to sell some stuff , which has always gone well in the past , but lately , no responses at all for weeks now on my sales stuff , so I'm out running everything , it's not like I would build great rc"s and throw them on a shelf for years , that's like throwing money in the trash kinda , anybody looking for anything ?? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤯🤯🤯🤯
 
It would take all day to list my heard of fun , but ya , I got one of those prolly , I have reduced my chargers a ton , I use the high tech v2 , and a Traxxas charger these days , I'm able to do anything with those two
 
I have a laundry list of RC proj4ects a mile long already but I am keeping you in my thoughts and praying for your strength and healing as you navigate through your health issues.

That goes for everyone else in this forum too! As someone who struggles with health issues also, I feel for anyone and everyone who struggles in this way. <3
 
Losi 5t , taylorized to the moon , VEKTA5 and vesla e versions and Taylor versions , redcat rampage metal end to end , baha with every upgrade possible , x max 1.5 gearing , hooked to a huge hobbywing power plant , upgraded everywhere , XRT , geared and hobbywing also , and gpm upgrades everywhere , dbxl , castle creations biggest set up for 8s , gpm everywhere, and like 20 ten scale rigs , bunch of mini crawlers , axial scx6 built vitavon tough , 6 rc boats zelos 48 modified engine from Florida dudes , two phantom 3 drones , giant and mini Draco planes , two timber cubs , I don't know somewhere around there
 
One heck of a nice line up, wish I could help out. Hope things improve on your end. Hard to unload nice customs unless your willing to take a considerable loss. Disposable income is getting harder to come by these days.
 
@RELIC01
You have some seriously cool kits there. Hope you get to feeling better. I go through phases where I can't do crap for a few days or more. And it seems like when I feel good and start doing stuff it causes other problems to flare up. So hang in there. Getting old is definitely not for sissies.

What are some of your 10th scale rigs? And Bandits? Slashes? I'm asking out of pure curiosity.
 
Slash platinum vxl loaded , trimmed the Valentino rose like a idiot but the pro lines make it a really fun flipper basher rig , ,max slash. Still building that AWSome truck , also a nitro jato , that I took a class on painting and put cartoons on the custom body it's pretty cool

OK. Just wanted to know.
 
Really appreciate that guys , really , but back to this real issue I have with the war inside my head over the rc insanity , I say these things about to many things , but last weekend was my daughter's birthday party , drunk yelling crap till I was able to get permission to escape, but a guy came up to me yelling over the music about a still in the box Traxxas max for $300 , I said sounds like a good deal for somebody , didn't really believe him but , a week later ( yesterday ) my daughter calls n says he's on his way over , this dude I don't know at all !! Well,,,,,,,,,,, I got a Traxxas max , never been used for $300 !!! Still in the box ! I just took it to the park , that dam thing is a wheeeieing little ball of fun !! Now I just need to figger where to hide it

That is quite the line up. I have built three 1/5 scale rigs so far. Kraken Vekta.5, Baja 5b, and I just finished building a Vesla Electric version. I would love to add a Losi 5t to my lineup!
 
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of cancer? My dad had "terminal" malignant melanoma back in 2011 that had spread to his organs, and that stubborn old man is still alive and kicking! Experimental treatment killed the cancer. There is hope out there!
 
I hope you get well soon, good luck selling your rigs, I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to sell a rc car to someone who loves the hobby like you.
