well, It had been laying in the den floor for about 6 months and I finally got tired of listening to the wife gripe about it. I just stuck it there to be out of the way until It gets bolted on.

Holy crap Batman. I have seen R/C hobby shops with less R/C's than what you have at your home. Looks like James aka lincpimp's collection. I love it though, because when I show pics like this to my wife she feels so much better looking at our collection. I have 7 trucks of my own, and the kids each have one. That is enough by our standards. You must have over 100 R/C's there, worth what maybe $50K or more? Must be nice to be able to afford that level of playtoys. Good for you man.

The reason for our collection and my goal is for us to have enough R/C vehicles so that one day we can have all the kids (8) and grand kids over for family bash/race sessions once we get moved into our retirement home. Our plan is to build a track on our property where we can enjoy watching everyone having fun. So what is your goal?

I get that a hobbiest showing those pics to their wife and saying "see its not so bad" It didn't happen overnight, been in it for about 20 years. There is a lot of my buddies buyouts, auction lots, swaps and trades there. I do have, or "had" a pretty decent job to fund it, although locked out from it right now, so the past 7 months the 1:1 garage has been seeing a lot more action, working on stuff that is not quite as fun. At last count I had around 250 rtr's, and mostly complete rollers, then a bunch of parts junk. I'd love to open a hobby shop, because I am fairly knowledgeable on the stuff, and pretty enthusiastic about the hobby, a quality it seems most hobby shops lack. It is sort of a dead area we live in r/c wise, so I don't think I could ever make it.

Well, here is my work area....
I'm an RA for the dorms here (get free room and board). This is my little RC corner :D

[Shonen]

^ wow, that's pretty amazing. if you're a resident at the dorms in the University of Hawaii you're not allowed to have soldering equipment, or any sort of useful tool or thing that can potentially start a fire. A friend of mine was almost evicted because he had an unlit candle on his desk...

[DrKnow65]

My work room is so trashed right now I would be humiliated to post up a pic.

I should expose my shame... maybe it would motivate me to tackle the chore.

Yeah, it's pretty relaxed here. Both dorms have a combined capacity of 300. And my school has 2800 total. It also doesn't help that I'm good friends with the director, and that I'm the one that is supposed to enforce the rules around here

I feel your pain. I recently tidied up so I could see the floor... I have about 5 boxes of revo parts littering all of the flat surfaces. I had to put up a folding table so I had room to lay out the project vehicles and parts. And I have 13ft of counter as well... And 2 other tables. It is a mess. My problem is that I get into a project, then find I need parts and order them, but then I start another project...

[DrKnow65]

One for the wall of shame.

[JERRY2KONE]

WOW that looks like one of those horder intervention pictures where the people just won't throw anything away and they let it take over their entire home. I never leave my shop without making sure that it is cleaned up and ready for me the next time I walk in. Plus I have to set the right example for our kids to follow. Otherwise when I get on them for not cleaning up they would throw it in my face. Yea it can be a PITA but it is better than working in a mess like that one.

[brainanator]

bah, I bet you know where everything is, or at least can find it pretty quickly :p

[lincpimp]

Hmm, not to be outdone by Dr Know69:
