ok its time to admit myself into re-hab...

[alkyula]

it all started on the weeknd of my birthday, sometime around the last weeknd of this past september. i went over to a friends house, and he said to me, "hey you want to check something out?" so he went to go grab some stuff he had in a box. we went to the back yard, and within a few seconds he had it fired up. this was the first time i had ever smelled this stuff...although rather strong i thought it had a great aromatic essence to it. and then when my friend finaly let me get a pull of the gun, i new i found my new drug of choice..it jsut clicked so well and i felt like i reached nirvana, or went to valhalla. so immediatly the next day i went to the dealer and got my first self funded fix, and 30 mins and 450$ dollars later i couldnt wait to go to my backyard and feel that feeling i had when my friend shared this great substance with me. anyway..thats how it all started...and now after finaly seeing things from an non addict point of view...a point of view were theres other things to take care of with your money instead of just the selfish adiction....3200 dollars (*holds back tears of shame*) worth of selfishness in just 3 1/2 months that is...

"hello everyone, my name is henry, and i am an Nitro addict."

Hello My name Is Mason, I am r/c addict.

Don't feel bad their are many out there just like yourself including me. My last addiction was RL dune buggies volkswagons heh. At one time I had two dune buggies, and 6 volkswagons parked outside the garage. Now I have one.

I'm not just addicted to nitro, but all things R/C. I can't seem to break it no matter what. Cars boats, planes, you name it.

Anyhow if you can't break your addiction, you can at least do what I try to do. I never buy used unless it is dirt cheap (like making my own batt packs). I search want adds yard sales, etc to feed my addiction. I only buy things that if I ever wanted to sell I could make a bit of money on, or at least get it back. For example I just picked up 2 7.2 cars, 5 batterys, 4 motors, 3 chargers, and two 110vac-12vdc converters. Basically somones entire racing setup screws parts and all for $100. This way If i get bored or want to buy a new nitor, I can sell this stuff of so I can afford one without tappen the Credit cards.

All I can say Is good luck, hopefully you have a good LHS where you can purchase cheap used stuff hehehe. BTW making your own parts and Battery packs takes a lot of time. It keeps my mind off the expensive things I want LOL

Hello, my name is Mitchell and I too am a Nitro Addict! The aroma of 2 stroke engines burning fuel with that pungent oh so good! Damn, I just can't explain it! It has also caught me by the leg or should I say whole body and has engulfed me. My whole day is filled with nothing but RC stuff. From forums, magazines, websites, and even the occasional just looking at my rides. Yes, I say rides. For what started in August of 2003 with just my T-maxx, and to now my new pride and joy an HPI MT2. My justification to the wife for the second one was if my T-Maxx is down I can still run with the Guys. Vice Versa! I'm presently in a building state with my T-maxx doing a .25 conversion with Unlimited Engineerings Chassis, and etc. I can't wait! But, my addiction is RC's

Ya know I owe all of this crap to my buddy John. I told him I didn't have a lot going on in life and he said you need something to do with your time. Well a trip to the local hobby town and I got my First one. My RS4 3 SS. I was totally content until I realized that running a touring car in the grass just wasn't going to happen. Two months later I got an HPI Nitro MT. Well I was content than I decided to hop up my Nitro MT with aluminum everything and a .21 which didn't work out so I Bought a Fantom 15 for it. Than I needed to hop up my Type SS and of course get receiver packs for them all. Than when that was done I think October I had a bunch of R/C stuff stolen from me while I was moving. Claimed it on Insurance which paid me like $800.00 and My savage came to me. Had some problems getting it to run So I bought every hop up for it before I addressed the real problem ME. So basically about nine to ten months later and about $1800-$2200.00 later here I am still buying more crap.

My name is Brent and I am a nitro addict.

My name is Ryan and I'm a Nitro addict. [Edited by myself as not to condone drug use..lol). I'm also a vagina and breast addict but I think that's off topic...lol.

Welcome to the hobby Alkyula...may you enjoy all that it has to offer with minimum injury to your pocketbook.

Peace

Don't forget number seven, Diver!

The need to logon to RCNT is so great you write the admin to change the colors because the white background keeps the wife up while you're surfing on the laptop in bed!

My name is Dave and I'm a Nitroholic. This is not a remorseful admission.

Hey KK? Does a recovering Nitroholic do electric all day long?

Hey 30%? "I love the smell of nitro in the morning" used to be the tagline under my sig... Until I posted something in the babe thread that pushed the envelope just a little too far... hence the new tagline.

Hey Spyder? Does the $20 include fuel?

Newnitro? It was your friend's fault. Sue him. And put Spyder's rehab fee on the insurance as well.

Woody, Lykan, Alky? Fight not the demon that controls the essence of your being. Revel and be joyous in the blessing that has been brought upon thee.

Amen.

Oh yeah ... forgot about that. But that's ok because the wife is only an arms reach while I surf the Babe thread.

 

[Smurfola212]
