Looking at all of your join dates for this forum leads me to believe you all have nothing on me. I easily have $30,000+ in r/c stuff. Last count I was up to 35+ cars, boats, motorcycles and helis. The wife has her bank account and I have mine! For those of you that think I am full of it click here

Real men don't let their wives find out.

My wife only complained once, but then I showed her how much I had spent and she was ok with it - I was going to put a new stereo in my F250 but bought an SC10 and accessories (~$600) instead - thus saving myself a bunch of money.

I've spent less on my RC than she has on her dogs.

Nuff said

My GF complained when we first got together so i gave her a choice I can have rc cars and go play with them or I can goto the strip club and left the choice up to her still doing rc cars and she is actually starting to get into them to its becoming a family hobby.

My wife is killer and never says anything about what I spent on R/C since we been married. Over the 11 years together I bought alot of stuff. Hell she has even bought me stuff at the shop if I'm away and can't make it. I don't need separate accounts or never need to hide anything from her. I have a great wife.

I never say anything when she wants anything. As long as we have the money to buy the stuff we want its all good.

My wife is pretty awesome about it. I only get to race once a month during the school year and maybe twice in the summer, so that doesn't hit the account too hard even though I always run 2-3 classes. I do own a lot of toys though with 6 cars/trucks a couple airplanes and a 450 heli. She prefers that I sell a vehicle before I buy one, but I usually spend my extra money from personal projects on kits so even this isn't a big deal.

And now my son is getting into it! That is how I got my last charger without any grief. Father-Son time!
