Spares and Parts
One thing about this hobby is I always feel guilty about the almost unlimited costs it can incur for what amounts to a collection of aluminum and plastic. So I've been pairing down and re-focusing my collection more toward my main Tamiya SRB interests. Traded a couple of'outlier' kits to fund a tighter collection of SRB spares so now have some nice new-build project work in storage that won't involve tearing into expensive NIB kits down the line and feeling decadent about the cost.

Nice collection of Sand Scrocher parts. You're not kidding about the cost this hobby can incur, sometimes it does get out of hand.

Yes. Was comparison shopping/haggling for tires for my real car while back - price vs brand, etc - and realized had over $2k worth NIB radio control car kits at home in a closet I'd most likely never build and hadn't thought twice about buying... Time to make a change, lol.

Very nice enough spare for life
like the way you arranged the kit and body kit in Tamiya shipping box

Thanks! Yet somehow you still never feel like you have enough with anything related to this brand...and I always keep those original Tamiya shipping boxes - especially for the NIB kit storage.
