Think I’m going to sell them all??

[slowngreen]

@HPIguy I got the itch to do a comper build again and now parts are very rare. I had a lot of my signature stuff from eem that I can't replace now plus old school VP, DNA and so on wheels that are no longer available. Those are the ones that bug me the most.

When you get to many you don't enjoy them as much. If you enjoy building customs more than driving them, I would say make room and enjoy the process. If you like driving them, keep the number down or you just end up with a couple of favorites and a bunch of shelf queens. I went through this with my rc planes and got rid of a bunch. Now I try to keep it reasonable, especially with storage space being at a premium.

Obviously you haven't seen Toy Story 3 and how terrible it is for toys to feel unloved and abandoned. Shame on you sir!

I sort of got to that point as well. I really enjoyed the building process but got to where I didn't really run them as much.

And that is why I only gave them to good homes and didn't sell them.

Same here. I’d rather spend a weekend building than a weekend running them. Good thing is they always look clean!

I love the build, but love to run them too. I actually feel remorse when I focus more on one type than the other. Mostly been working on my drag car stuff, and neglecting the monster trucks. But, there's RC World Finals at Digger's coming soon, so once it's warm enough I'll be out there with the trucks and practicing.

I kind of have a "two of everything" mentality. I have two solid axle trucks, two independent suspension trucks, two drag cars, etc. I have a buggy that hasn't had an engine in it for years, and a 1/16 mini nitro solid axle truck that doesn't see much action, as it's a novelty item. Only build I have planned is another SE drag car, since I have 1 SE car, and one funnycar, and would like to have a backup SE car. The funnycar kinda fits into that "novelty" realm, as I'll run it, but that's a prep car that only will see limited action maybe at IMDRA or RCDRL events.

I wish I could get into all that. It would be a blast to hang out and watch all the work you have done run down the track. If I was an able bodied person, I'd be begging to be on your pit crew Please get as much video as you can for us that can't do this ourselves. Hell, we should start a gofundme to hire you a film crew just to follow you around when you race

Do I sell and start over?? Ok keep them going and keep adding to it?

He would have been in the dumpster after that!

My ex is that way with my kid's toys. She keeps asking me to send some RC's home with him, and I really want to, but she would sell them within 6 months.

LOL, well I'm hoping my wife will get some good videos again this year. She's not too bad, though at the Versus MT race she dropped the ball a little, haha.

Well I missed out as a kid till now I’m on disability and don’t really have the money that it takes to do much of anything so far I had to replace the receiver and now the front wheels are not spinning I lost 4 wheel drive today and haven’t took it apart yet so At least I have something to do for about an hour

I'm in the same boat. Disability here as well. But I do what I can and save my money up. And by doing that, I can usually catch things on sale. Unfortunately it's almost always while I am still saving. I think that is part of the reason I bounce from one project to the next. Whatever is on sale dictates what I am working on

I’m thinking about getting a redcat racing six scale shredder
