YOU MAKE BEATS WITH THE LOCAL KIDS THAT YOU CAN BEAT THEY'RE TYCO CARS.

OK GUYS HERE IS THE TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT BE ADICTED TO R/C...PLEASE FEAL FREE TO ADD ANY.

Adicted... feal...
Marvelous...

Well, aside from all THAT, I only fall victim to two of those. I also don't realize how you can spend more than 24 hours in a day working on a car. There are 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds in a day, I don't see the logic.

Oops, I meant to do my home work but..

[Throtl Hapie]

There you go! You spelled right. I don't care about abbreviations and acronyms. I guess I was bored and I needed something to do.

[GregV]

Cool Topic! Here's my 10.

10. I've raced every year since I was 9. (I'm now 24)

9. Instead of going out to the movies I stay home and watch the XXX Main video.

8. I bought my Jeep Cherokee specifically to cart all my RC stuff to the track.

7. When my girlfriend talks to me, all I hear is: Blah! Blah! Blah! While in my mind I think of my next RC project.

6. I have my own room in my house just for my RC equiptment.

5. The only websites that are bookmarked on my computer are RC related. (there aren't any "adult" sites listed, really!)

4. I painted my real Mitsubishi Eclipse like my HPI Mitsubishi Eclipse.

3. RC cars aren't enough, I also have a dozen boats, seven planes and one helicopter.

2. It could be one of the worst blizzards in history and I'll still travel 3 hours to race. (It really happened 2 years ago)

1. And the number one reason why I'm adicted to RC....It's now my job.

Greg "Swab" Vogel
Assistant Editor RCCA

[B3 Bomb]

For any one who wants to get out of the hobby ( I dont know why anyone would do that unless you live out of your Geo Metro with your 20 cars in the trunk) there is an R/C anonomous hotline that you can call. Hey but even If you are living out of your car that is what HARDCORE means right?

[xxxmain]

LOL, this is funny. The number one reason I am so addicted to this hobby is because I made XXX MAIN THE VIDEO so my job consists of filming, building, and crashing RC Cars...... and to top it all off I usually have one of the "xxx main girls" there with me to throw in a quick chick scene.

Life is hard but RC makes it easy!

Jeff

P.S. Greg, I think it is time you take your girl friend out for a movie, she called me the other day and threatened to kill me because you've shown her my video so much :-)

[Slipknot]

Lets not forget, getting stuff insured (includes during shipping!) buying waxes and cleaners for your junky bodies! writhing in agony evenif you lose ONE! body clip!. You have sold stuff to buy rc related items, instead of spending 20 to subscribe everymonth you scrap to buy RCCA because 20 could buy a new body, and only 4.95 seems so much less lol. when you empty your pockets you find assorted rc hardware even if you havnt driven that day whichis impossible right?

[SRBaja]

Greg V I really like #7 Very funny

[TC3 Benjammin]

Your wife divorces you because you hump your R/C car more than her...

Whoops! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

[timesheet]

I was nearly homeless due to #8

[TB01 2NR]

I still read RCCA mags dating back to 1995-1994. (dont have any older ones intact)

[Dash]

10, 8, 7, and 2 I have real problems with. I smoke the local kids too.

[TA03 Drive Hard]

Here are mine...

10. You held up your LHS with your "Magnum" Futaba radio. :D

9. You sold your little brother for a Factory Team TC3.

8. You called Geiko for insurance on your E-Maxx that is totally hopped-up with all the aluminum parts :cool:

7. True you can't be caught sleeping with a minor, but who says you can't with your RC car!?! :D ooooopsie lol

6. Pepboys keep tellin you they dont carry spare parts for your E-Maxx!!!

5. Is it really necessary to take your RC car to the bathroom with you?

4. You actually got a ticket for speeding down your side street! :mad:

3. It really ticks you off when your girlfriend talks about Brian Kinwald all day! :mad: ...so who's an RC freak now!?!?!

2. The IRS audits you for tax evasion :(

1. Admitting you have an addiction is the beginning of a non-healing process. :D

[Roach Racing]

-A part for a popular car is on eternal back order at LHS, nobody has any online either, you have three in your bag and three at home.

-You spend more money on a race trip then you do each month in rent.

-You buy a home with extra (r/c) rooms and convince your wife that you are going to do more work from home and need an office.

-You buy a home based on the distance from local tracks.

-You build a better track in your back yard then the local track.

-You empty shock oil into a soda can in your pit, later you drink from the can and don’t notice.

-After 3 years of racing once or twice a week you start telling people you are going to take it more serious.

(This one I think was mentioned before)
Buy real car based on how much r/c stuff you need to take to the track.

-You have a tab at the hobby shop

I have more, but I need to get back to work so I can pay my tab at the hobby shop. :D

[XXXER]

Those are good ones roach, and it is true, this guy did have an apartment within walking distance of his local track :D

[gubbs3]

Hehe...tabs. I know a lot of people who run tabs at the track. They have to pay them at the end of the day but do they really need them. My mom won't even let me have one. (mumbles something foul)

[twism86]

- You treat your r/c better than your real car
-you tried to put nitro in your real car
-you spend more $ on r/c than your yearly pay
-you tried to race your r/c on the parkway :rolleyes:
-your LHS says "sir, i think you've had enought"
-w/o you your LHS would go out of bussines
*thats all i got*

[TC3 Benjammin]

You pour wine in the tank of your nitro car hoping to get lucky.... ;)

[lockedINgood]

- you walk into an XXX store and wonder why there are not any team losi car parts.

[rcguy49]

so true,so true :D

[maxxxracer]

I just saw this forum. LMAO LOL ROFL. About the one that w/o you your lhs would go out of buisness is quite funny. My lhs guy says there is this guy who has a tab with them and he spends atleast a thosand bucks a week on rc stuff. One week he bought a ricambi .21 motor cycle and decided for spare parts to get another one. Well they cost 1100 dollars a piece.

[RustlerBoy]

I have a prob with number 3!!


LockedInGood: That was so true man!!

[g off]

you swear that your lawn mower runs and cuts better mixed with 20%nitro!!:eek:

[Rustler Dude]

Iv'e done that!

[jfc_tech]

In addition to all the above:
your neighbor start to call yer r/c kit as yer 1st wife!??:D :p :D
they actually see you more with the kit rather than wit yer wife!!! LOL:D :D :D :D

and started dreaming of going on stage winning the the 1st place for electric touring race and beating yer local champion!!!!

[Lord_bunker]

you buy parts for a kit you don't have

you try to modify your car so those parts will work

you give up and buy the right car for those parts.

you have enough spare parts to build a new car.

you have a transmitter for each car, and they all have multimodel memory.

the memory on those transmitters is filled.

you consider body clips disposible

you keep an extra set of tools in your car.

you have a soldering iron that plugs into the cigarete lighter.

you converted your real car to electric

when you bought a new stereo you asked if they had if you could get it in pcm.

you buy body clips in bulk.

when you drive to work you think, if i switched to 100 wt shock oil in the rear i bet this thing would handle better.

[Trinityracinnut]

Here is one of mine
Your medicine cabinet consists of CA glue and Shoe goo. Nothing else. You only need these 2 items to fix everythign car or human body.(cuts etc.) lol

[Xray Joe]

You have enough batteries to run your house for a year.

You go to Big-O-tires and ask if they sell Sorex 36's for your 1:1.

You put "Team associated" or "Team losi" etc. stickers on your 1:1 car.

You get pissed at your mom/wife/girlfriend for not letting you pour asphalt in the backyard to make a practice track.

[Lord_bunker]

you work for rcca

[Moemphoecious]

You get to argure with other like minded guys on R/C Forum as to what car is the best.
