How often do you run your cars...

How often do you all run your cars?

Personally I run my cars about once a week in winter and about 3 times a week in summer. Most of my time with my cars is fixing, cleaning, tinkering, tuning, drooling e.t.c.

[pat*1]

Ive got my race car for a championship 1/10th ic and over the winter i run an 1/8th rallycross,but most of tamiya's stay on the shelf,occasionally i run my trucks indoors on the carpet,not got a lot of room at the moment to play with them all.....

[simensays]

since I got back into old Tamiyas about three years ago, I've probably run a total of 10 batterypacks.

I'm more into collecting and restoring, obviously...

[steviedee]

i would probably say i run about 10-12 battery packs through various tamiyas each week, i'm quite lucky the missus runs hers too, so she cant moan at me []

[bangstick]

I run mine most weekends, and its even better now as i have got the kids a couple of cars so the neighbours cant look at me as if i am some sort of big kid off to play with my "toy" cars lol. sod em

[Shodog]

I would say that my WW2 or midnight pumpkin get ran at least 3-4 times a week.  My semi's at least once a week but most of my other cars just stay on my shelf.

Good quistion poll

Not much actually these days, but that has mostly do do with the weather as it is waayyyy to cold and in winter times already dark when i get home so not much point in running with something you can't see

Running really comes in "moods" sometimes just can't get enough on a free day and run as much the quick charger and the spare parts last. (ain't no great driver )

Only have a couple of runners now, 1 rig , a f103 , a c-group and the twin detonator. Most of the rigs are al RTR but quite a couple of them never have seen a battery pack after the test if everything works.

(but, this week i hope to add the pershing to the runner-clan, close to finished )

Prefer to build & restore & collect more then running, don't like to run cars solo anyway, more fun with a group of other idiots.. And, were short on idiots around here!

Well, very rarely - I can't seem to find anyone in the area to run with and I like 'em too much to run 'em.  Need to find a basher !

 

[bugman53]

i run mine everyday lol i just get my mates over and let them use my ones and we just race each other lol only downside is one of them got smashed pretty bably so i've got to fix that! []

Not as often as I like - maybe once every 2 weeks. Trouble is - I even get anal over the condition of my bashers!!! Summer, I run them more as longer evenings and dust as opposed to mud means easier to clean.

Good threat. I like to run them more but I say I run 1 car /week avarage. The problem is that for real good running I can't stay home, I have to go to parks or so. That makes it hard to go when you want to.

I try and run my basher once a week if possible, when tinkering with bits, I'l take it out the garden in the pitch black (I really need to get a twin det and get a custom shell with lights though)

I take on ein the boot of my car when away on business trips and try and break up car journeys in pitureque places, I also leave a couple of hours early then when I get around to where I'm going I can have a bash and stretch my legs.

so they get a good bash at least once a month even in the winter

Well I want be running for another 10 to 30 days (Tower Hobbies air mail)[]

I had a quite spectacular crash  a couple of days ago, I crashed my pan car at 35Mph into a lampost and broke the front wheel axle housing thingy. The funny thing was all I could do was laugh because I sust saw the wheel rolling towards me[].

My other runners require some motor soldering e.t.c.

So enjoy running guy it's great fun!

Not enough! I manage to get out once every couple of weeks. I can run mine from home, and I have kids to use as an excuse for playing with toys. However I spend a lot of time building things for the kids, fixing broken stuff, mowing lawns etc, and now I have just taken up surfcasting (since the weather is so hot). I'll just have to get one of my trucks set up for beach running to occupy myself when the fish aren't biteing!

[melbsbalong]

After building them i run it a lot, then it stays in the cabinet and get used maybe once a year.

[Peter James]

Not nearly enough! During the winter, probably once a week. During the spring, every Saturday and often after work and my jog as the days are longer.
