Post your RC Addicts Anonymous war story here!!

Looks like '08 has been another good year for rc hobby retailers! I know I have contributed a lot this year. With the purchase of about 50 A123 cells, and now moving onto 6S lipos and contemplating which 5S packs to buy for a 10S setup. Bought a LT-6S, and just bought another LT-10S. All together with my MMM, with a feigao 8xl, upgraded to a 1515/1y, now a 2.5D, with a medusa 80mm 1100kV. This brushless bug bit hard.

My stock emaxx wasn't stock for long, with parcels coming in from all over every few days. Living in Australia doesn't help things, most people have very good shipping, but other times I am paying close to as much shipping as the actual product!

Calculated my costs put into my emaxx, and it was close to $2k minus shipping costs. And with the addition of my VERY cheap truggy (Hyper ST Pro roller $120AUD after selling parts from it), I am still looking for more!

Oh yeah, and also don't forget my drifter, and a dx3.0, dx3r, dx3s that I have bought.

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...
