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.
