IM not addicted
i swear i could quit anytime
i used to race rc when i was in middle school got out of it and into skateboarding, bmx, and MX. i dont bmx much and i got the itch to get back into rc just over a year ago when we saw a race going on at a track in LA on our way home from a weekend of mx racing. It was ok at first, then it went down hill from there, i do have my limits i will never let my checking account drop below 1,500 when i get under 2k i start looking at what im not using anymore and it leaves.
My big problem is i have 2 veichles (still paying on my new car), a 16' all aluminum Pace enclosed race trailer (generator, AC,folddown bed, cabinets, the works), i have 2 fully built crf hyrbrid race quads, and one fully built 400ex that i play on and ride fmx with (none even have stock frames), and a 125 CR3 pitbike. Id say my RC's arent that bad when you consider i have more money in the 4 sets of carbonfiber beadlocks for my 3 quads (200 ea x 16!!!!
) i have litrally spent every last dollar ive made in the last 7-8 years on my hobbies and id do it agian, ive got tons friends who worked just as much as i did and dont have much if anything to show for it. My dad always tell me im "cheap" cause i dont like to spend anymoney on little things like going to the movies just going out with everyone, but inreturn ive bought just about anything ive wanted within reason.
this sums me up
