mr nice 10 Posted February 17, 2012 How much spare time does this man have? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasteer 0 Posted February 17, 2012 I think I'd look for something else to do after the 2nd day. But all the power to the man... He's definitely dedicated. And if it makes him happy, all the better. He's definitely not married... doesn't have a girlfriend... or a life ouside his basdement... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sayer 742 Posted February 18, 2012 Not pathetic at all if you read his situation. That just leaves the awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skottoman 306 Posted February 18, 2012 I guess if I lived out in the middle of nowhere, and in the winter it was -22F outside, I'd probably be stoked to have a basement to run RC contstruction trucks. Also, I bet there is more "purpose" in his builds, as you know you're building something that has to actually do some work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1499 Posted February 18, 2012 Fantastic !. Why not use it & do something like this . That is what RC is all about . That is what the trucks & diggers are for . So why not use it . Good on him . That is one scale project Wonder if he found gold . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JYCM3 236 Posted February 19, 2012 I wonder what his electric bill will be like? charging all those battery packs all day and night all these years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miggers 1 Posted February 25, 2012 Fantastic !. Why not use it & do something like this . That is what RC is all about . That is what the trucks & diggers are for . So why not use it . Good on him . That is one scale project Wonder if he found gold . I completely agree with matman. They look superb with their weathering,dirt and worn paint,plus,it's all natural too. I'd love to go play down there with that lot. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charlie787b 8 Posted February 25, 2012 I think it's cool,if i had some of those machine's there would be hole's all over the place no different to having a rc car and using it If you put that guy in a real quarry he would allmost certanly make a very good operation's manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
