What are you going to eat for lunch?

Can you afford groceries after all that? That's an impressive shopping list...

Hmmm.... On the other hand, just don't tell anyone about that bank robbery last week..... oops too late

Looks like a typical rookie, start up, out of control, gotta have everything, get it because I can, don't have a reason for half of it, get to the track and brag - "look at all my stuff boys," more money than sense, let me put it on the credit card, hope the wife doesn't find out, order .....

Well jeepers! Been into everything RC on & off for over 30 years so I suppose I don`t qualify as a "rookie". Always have had great fun at the field or track because the folks there were cool but this RC hobby forum deal seems attract some unfun type folks.

Anyway, been reading here longer than I have been a member and now I am buying to build several brushless trucks. One will be a gift for a friend that I hope will start racing. At the local track I would like to race at everyone is into nitro so I plan on taking two trucks with me to the track. One for me and one to offer any of the nitro lovers that wants to run it (for the day not to keep ) hoping I can convert some of these guys to electric. Buying nice stuff according to everything I have read here but I want to do some of my own playing with motors/batteries/ESC`s combos. Oh yeah, nice group at this forum. Sure glad everyone I have met at the hobby shop & track has been cool!

Then what exactly was the point of your post, showing everyone that you had an unlimited budget, hit the lottery, or just showing off for the kids ??


I mean let's get real, when was the last time anyone logged on here ~ new poster or not ~ for all intents and purposes to list all the goodies they just got unless they were 12 or had a particular question about their purchases, let alone 5 grand worth of stuff ??????


No offense, but don't get all butthurt if people call you on it ~ here, or at your local track.
