As I have gotten older, I have gotten a little better at walking away if I start getting mad. Usually......

Heard that. I don't even shutter. I just go in the other room. Later, it just works out. 👍
 
RC really calms my nerves, it's amazing and that's why I love wrenching and building them more than driving.
I just have to learn how to wrench on them and what goes where.
 
Besides the usual hex drivers, soldering station, and Dr. Emel stuff

I change out nearly all the battery connectors on my rc, so a variable heat soldering iron with various tips and a helping hand device is invaluable to me.
Also, if you play in the dirt, an electric duster/blower is great for cleaning between runs. Which could potentially save you problematic issues caused by seizing due to dirt and debris.

A duster/blower is something I need. Firing up my air compressor is a pain.
I love these things! I keep one in my car. I have a car wash membership, so I'm there about twice a week. I use these little powerful dusters to blow out excess water from crevices throughout the car's exterior, so there's no water marks when these excess water start working their way out when you start driving.
