I experimented when I was in seventh grade, but I could never quite get high enough with nicads and nitro just didn't do it for me, so I just gave up on the hobby.
Early in '07 I discovered brushless and lipos at a party and I haven't been able to stop since. The first time I saw my Rusty VXL hit 70mph, it was down hill from there. The next thing I know I had $1000 bucks into with FLM & RPM parts. Then I started looking for bigger and better highs and that is when I discovered I could race 1/8 electric off road buggies. If I don't get to the track at least a few times a month, I start shaking now. The withdrawal pains are terrible. My wife doesn't understand why I never leave my man room and always working on my car.
I still haven't confessed to my wife that I have spent almost $7500k this year on RC this year.
It only got worse after I met JHautz at the track and now I really can't stop. He keeps pushing more stuff on me like the new... X-ray 808 I just bought that I have to run home and hide from my wife tomorrow.
Mike just called me on my cell about new custom battery boxes and the rc8t chassis. He is threatening to send his goons to break my knee caps if I don't order them right away.
It is getting out of control. Please help me...
