This is about where I am headed. To be competitive you have to spend some $, I will more then likely go over the 1k I have budgeted and I will hope/pray for forgiveness.

Does mother count? Only 16.

She complains about me and tells me I could spend it on better things.

Same here with the girl friend.

There is a secret husband code that not many men know about.
It is simple as this. Let's say you get a new vehicle you
Have to leave it in plain sight, now this doesn't have to be the kitchen table or the middle of the living room, but say on top of your work bench or anywhere not hidden or covered, for 7 days straight. And if she doesn't ask or say anything about it after that 7 days is up if she asks about it you are free to say oh that old thing I have had that forever.. And be guilt free for the man code permits it.

Or the age old trick of diamonds. It's amazing how quickly they forget you spent hundreds of dollars on toys when you flash some diamonds infrint of her. Lol

Only time I got in trouble was when I came home with two Ofna Hyper 10SC kits.. Explaining that "One is for parts!" was apparently a bad idea, because that just made it worse.


A friend of mine likes to tell the story of how he came home one day with a new buggy, and his wife just looked at it and said "hmm, looks like new drapes" and sure enough, the next weekend he was hanging new drapes. That kind of understanding is golden.

All wives complain about men spending money on RC, unless they race too, which is rare. Any wife that doesn't is either

1. Cheating on you
2. Planning on cheating on you
3. Planning on dumping you
4. Pregnant with another man's child

Complaining is a woman's way of saying they love you Just think of it that way and it will make it easier It's when they stop complaining that you have to start worrying

Mine hasnt been really terrible about it. In fact she joins me on race days (once a week). Takes video for me even.

When i first got back into this she was like "oh god... toys...".

I think i broke the first comments with something along the line of "Hey I could be spending my money on hookers and drugs, i dont think this is all too bad!"

My wife is really good at art so i bought her a air-brush,
this makes things a whole lot easier.
I am no world champ but the fun this hobby brings is worth
the £.
