So here I am again. I need help as the addiction is becoming overwhelming. Since Black Friday I have bought to Arrma Kraton 6s EXB rollers (for parts), 3 new esc's including a Castle MMX8S and two Hobbywing Max 6's, 4 sets of onroad tires, 2 sets of offroad tires, two new Tp motors, two new bodies, built a Vendetta from parts, a Redcat Thunderdrift, a Tamiya F350 high-lift and today I picked up a Losi LMT roller. I had to stop myself from buying a Limiltless roller too as the sale was just pulling me in deeper. For reference, this is my work area. I even installed curtains to section it off from the view of my family. Somebody please help me!

That is one heck of a list. The cars/trucks that I already had prior to Black Friday include a built Kraton EXB, a Granite 3s converted to 6s, a Typhon 3s converted to 6s, a Typhon 6s stretched that is a morph of about four other rigs, and a Redcat Everest 10. I now realize why I have to work 6 days a week.🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Sold off almost everything late last year and re-invented the hobby for myself.

Presently active electrics are:
Two (2) Associated MT10
Two (2) Traxxas 2WD Rustlers

Inactive and stored in the attic are:
Three (3) roller chassis RC electric dragsters

Yeah, I don't get rid of anything. Most of those just sit and collect dust. When my son gets old enough to have a LiPo at home, he can start taking some of them home. But I am just afraid his mom will sell them 🤨

What forklift do you have? I'm looking for one. I can't afford the Rc4wd at the moment. ☹

I never saw the nitro mad crusher. I kinda like it.

To be honest, I don't remember what brand it is. It was only $70. It is toy grade, but actually does pretty good. It doesn't have tilt though. I bought it planning to convert the electronics in it, but I haven't even opened it up yet to see what that's going to take.
 
Drug addictions are definately cheaper but at least with RC, I have something to show for the money spent besides a bloody nose

Traxxas Xmax 8s w/max6 and 1100kv combo
Arrma Outcast EXB with Castle XLX2 combo
Traxxas Slash 4x4 with Castle MMP 2400 combo
Traxxas Stampede 4x4 and 6 years later, still rocking the factory VXL esc and motor (miracles do happen)
Traxxas Slash 2wd with a Novak Havoc Pro Sct combo for the Track
Losi XXX Sct with same Novak combo
Arrma Infraction V2 with handbrake, still on 6s ..... for now
Traxxas TRX4 K5 Blazer running a Hobbywing Axe crawler combo (excellent esc!!!!!)
Axial Capra with Castle copperhead combo (a POS compared to the Hobbywing Axe)
DJI Phantom pro to film all the cool bashing adventures
Eachine 250 racing drone
Kyosho 4x4 mini Z celica
WL toys K969 porche drift car
WL toys 284131 drift truck (looks like Ken Blocks Hoonitruck)
An old skateboard that I mounted a solid rear axle to and running the factory Traxxas Xmax 8s motor and speed control for, you know, giggles.

I wont dare post the $$ amount I've invested in fear the wife may stumble upon this post.
 
My addiction isn’t as bad as some of you guys, but I only got into the hobby this past December 2021. The kits in the pics are still new in box. Not shown in the pic and what I am currently working on is a g-speed lcg crawler and a Furitek Scythe Scx24.

Nice!
 
I’ve been in and out of this hobby since the early 80’s. Being older with less responsibilities that require large sums of money I’m in pretty heavy now. Pretty much sold all my non Arrma bashers so here’s what’s left...
Kraton 8s
Kraton 6s
Outcast 6s
Trugified Typhon 6s
CoRally/Arrma 1/10 mini 6s basher
Talion 6s
Mojave

I used to say rc crawlers are one of the top 5 the dumbest things on the planet...now I have:
LCG trx4 axle build
Trx4 sport
Trx6
Redcat gen8 axe
Redcat gen8
Rgt rockhammer turned into a LCG rig

For drones I just have the cheap ones of several sizes...and a few small helicopters.

How do you like the Axe? I really wanted that when it came out, but was unemployed and had very low income at that time.
