When you sleep with your emaxx

[speedpede09]

When your just about to sit at the dinner table and your parents say "no talking about your rc trucks!"

When your worried about using up all your miniuts because youve called traxxas so much.

When you nickname all your rc's.

When your day feels wierd just because you didnt drive tour trucks.

When no one can find you because youve been in your closet for 3 hours organizing all of your rc stickers.

[Brewers74]

When your talking rc with a buddy two hot chicks walk up set beside you...promptly walk away

- If you can't get your nitro to start, and your ol' lady cant tell there is a definate change in your mood for the rest of the day till you figure out whats wrong....

[Jersey Crewmax]

When you're willing to go to see your friends band play 150 miles away just so that you can pick up a Summit that's for sale 10 miles from the show.

[boyer1986]

-Your neighbors know to look on the ground, and brake when they see you standing on the corner

-Every tool box you see in the store you wonder how your RC parts could fit into them


Watch the *s

I love both of these. I work at home depot and everytime I walk down by the toolboxes I think "Man I need a Bigger box already"

Time to revive and keep rollin...

- You had to rearrange your work space because your other messes were getting in the way of your wrenching space.
- You have a work bench that's longer than you are tall.
- One drawer of said work bench is dedicated to your rc painting supplies.
- You don't have a lipo sack, but that's okay because you have PLENTY of cake pans around the house (sorry wife!)

[Bloody_Wheels]

-When you get lonely and sleep with your Rc car (dont laugh somebody else has done it too)
-When you take parts in the shower with you for cleaning
-In order to use the bathroom, you have to have a RcCaraction magazine.
-You dont have to mow grass because of the proline mulchers you installed.

[upbasher]

I have two tracks in my backyard.

[bentrocker]

If I count the rock garden I built for my scalers I guess that would be two. Oh no man I have it bad.

[akapants]

I am clearly an RC addict. Awesome thread!!!
I don't know if anybody is interested but I started a hashtag on Twitter because a lot of my friends on there are into RC's. Gives em a good laugh. Was wondering if anyone wanted to help out by getting more tweets in there.

If you post something like on this thread, onto twitter, end it with #YOUknowYOUREanRCaddictWHEN

[BaldyDaniels]

- no matter what topic you're looking up online, you always end up looking at r/c stuff.

- you can ride a pedal bike and drive your r/c at the same time, while bringing home the groceries, doubling your buddy, with a flat tire, through rush hour traffic... And get it all on video.

- you don't mind when your woman kicks you out of the house...if your packs are all charged, but will refuse to leave until they are.

- you've plotted all the good bash spots on the city map that hangs above your r/c's, and used up a box of 100 drop pins.

- you will ignore the t.v., the phone, the doorbell, your wife, the kids, and the house burning down... while your working on your r/c's.

- you have gotten a blister on your trigger finger more than once and now its a callous.

- if your transmitter could control your t.v. you'd be a happy man, cuz you always know where your tx is.

- you constantly trip over your kids toys, but could leave your r/c in the middle of the room and walk through with your eyes closed and never step on it.

- your kids know better than to ask if they can drive your r/c.*

- you've considered, or have added functional weapons or a jet engine to your r/c vehicle.

- you built a p2de for your ex-girlfriend, called it the Trampede, gave it to her, then while she was driving it you ran it over with your 1:1 car... And it was the best day of your life.

- you've started a thread (this one) on the forum that seems like it could never die!

Thanks to all you guys for the laughs! Keep em comin!

[Bloody_Wheels]

-When your currently at work and reading posts on Traxxas.com
-When a picture of your Rc is your screensaver
-When you hand polish aluminum Rc parts when you never intend to use them
-When you keep empty gallons of nitro fuel for decoration
-When on your keychain you have an old piston/connecting rod

when your rc car is cleaner than the family cars and most of the dirt on the family cars was put there by the rc cars

[Dirtburner12]
