tamiya3speed 464 Posted August 30, 2016 You have a pile of NIB kits in the queue but can't start them because you don't have enough radio gear for them all... Instead of buying radio gear you buy more kits. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Novastar 241 Posted August 30, 2016 You Know your an RC nut: -when you drive 50 mins return just to run your Tamiya for 20 mins (me going to the creek bed..) -finishing the Tamiya you are working on takes precedence over dinner or anything else that "normal" people do. -you could type "Tamiya Vintage" into the eBay search field box while deprived of all your senses. -you can close your eyes and visualise your first Tamiya in graphic detail even though it was 25 + years ago and you no longer own it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted August 30, 2016 You're waiting for Tamiya to merge with Toyota (Tamota), so that you can have that 1:1 Hotshot hybrid you've wanted since you were 10. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually am deciding what electronics should be swapped and what may replace them or is this model just going 'used shelfer' status for a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Ax 9325 Posted August 30, 2016 - you'll buy anything off Ebay or forums listed as "good solid project, not much more to finish", open the box, take one look, and go "that's more work than I thought" and put it on the "out of the way" shelf with all the other "good solid project, not much more to finish" projects 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

53HRA 555 Posted December 9, 2017 - When you buy a job lot of cars / parts and keep stuff you don’t even need or want - You see real cars on the road and wish there was an RC version - Once you’re alarm goes off for work, you log onto the net whilst in bed just to see RC stuff - When you spend more time on eBay than you do anywhere else - Going to a carboot sale / charity shop or to someone’s house and you spot an RC which gives you a funny feeling of excitement! - When your wardrobes for clothes mysteriously turns into a perfect place keep the latest RC parcel the postman delivered - Pre planning how to explain to the wife you’ve bought more rc stuff 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
