[MooseSlash]

-When you literally Google search this thread to bring it back

-When the neighbors are like, "Oh.. the kid with that so called 'Jato' is out again."

-When you want the gas station to sell Nitro

-When R/C is the solution to everything

-When you hit LVD, you plug back in the LiPo and go right back out to plan your track and build jumps

-Bathroom reading shelf: RC car action, Traxxas, Owners Manuals, pre ordered issue #2 of TRX Magazine, Readers Digest, People, RC Car action, special ordered issue #3 of TRX magazine, and RC Car action.

- You've had more runs end from breakage, than you've had end from LVC.

Happens to me 5/10 times! lol

[Wolfslash16]

When you try to post somthing here to prevent in from getting lost again...

When Traxxas releases somthing new, you just have to have it, even if you don't like it...

When you try to make somthing up to add to this thread...

They say that admitting it is the first step to recovery... But who said anything about wanting to recover? Besides, nobody likes a quitter anyways! Lol. Thanks for the kind words.

I created this thread for a quick laugh, but had no idea it would go on for so long. I think you guys may have an R/C addiction problem... Good to know I'm not alone! Lol

- You say, "Ugh, I need to do that upgrade... I'll do it tomorrow." Than the next day you wonder why it's done and why the dream of you doing it was so realistic.

-You had half a quart of fuel left and was planning on buying some more tomorrow, but when you woke up your quart was gone, the fuel was replenished, and your dream was you riding your Revo 3.3 to the LHS to get some more fuel.

- You can barely do a report on the Mongols but you can give a 3 & 1/2 hour lecture on all the generations of the Revo, it's enginerring process, and how they all worked.

-The backyard is now a ROAR stop, and you always get 1st place in A-Main for all races.

-The could-a-sac has skid marks all over it that "Misteriously" has the Talon tire tread.

-The side walk was put in a day ago, but looks as it it had been put in 3 months ago.

-Ply-wood dosen't mean cabnets, it means 15' ramps.

-You have an EMP proof box is full of LiPos, a electric generator, a E-Z Peak plus, and assorted R/C electronics.

-Skype now includes on contacts: Traxxas, A-Main Hobbies, HobbyTown USA, HobbyLobby, and the LHS.

-An epic vid includes R/Cs jumping through fire, into water, does a triple back-flip into the skate-park, follows the car on the highway, to the track, and back home, all on one pack.

- A short run day is 10, hour long runs.

-You drive a E-Revo Brushless along side the car on the highway.

-You wrote a 2,150 page bio on Traxxas

+10000!!! When ever I'm sad, or frustrated, I read this thread! I even have this in my computer's favorite bar!

[MooseSlash]

When you have legally changed your name so it can include something that has to do with rc's.

Lol! See if you get this name: Rick Edmumd Van obadiah the 33rd. Made that up out of thin air. It spells R.E.V.O. 33 More: -50 mph on a merv with 3s isn't enough speed. -A good explosion video is all the times your T-Maxx has back fired and all the cheap lipo cumbustions out of the truck. -You hear a classic song and you know it from an rc video. -Traxxas prints the next issue of their magazine early for you. -Your truck is bomb proof not only because it preforms hat way, but because you tested it with a military bomb. -When you post this thread at 11:40 because you don't want to forget about it.

You know your a rc addict when: after a while you start upgrading your upgrades

When you decide to go without gas in your car and buy a jug of nitro instead !

When your rc investment totals over $3k but you have yet to buy a 1:1 vehicle ..
D
When you put money into your RC's than your kids college fund

[DiggerPede]

You know your addicted to RC when you go grocery shopping and pick up something at the big box store just because. There is always something that can be had to make your RC work bench a little better. I thought I had everything but everytime I walk into a store I find something that can make mine or the RC's life easier.

Basically eat, drink & sleep RC. You know who you are out there!!

[MooseSlash]

-You stare out the window on a car ride as a passenger and imagine your r/c tackling everything in its' path.

LOL! Do that all the time with Traxxas cars I want! lol

[deerhurst]

When you go for a drive or a walk or bike ride and all you can see is lines for your crawler and places to bash the e slayer. I do the same with the dirt bike and the trials bicycle and the bicycle all at once. I always start looking at things for a moto or bike line then say, I wonder if the rc car could do that!

[Northleaf]

You know you are an rc addict when. . .

You are your LHS customer support for people who got the same trucks as yourself because you've been through nearly everything that can possibly happen with yours and know how to fix it.

When you are posting this at school. Lol


I blame it all on Speedpede09

[MooseSlash]

Lol! More: - When you bring RC parts into the shower with you to wash them.

-When you go to sleep to the sound of your Castle 4pole in the Dynomometer.

-When "Testing you truck" means going outside, and bashing like there's no tomorrow.

-Now Big Block in a MERV overheats, so you have to buy a water cooler for it.

-You have multiple burns on your fingers from thermal problems.

-LiPo gets as hot as Nickel Metal Hydrate batts used to. (Get more venelation intone battery compartments!)

-Kids on the street come to you and say, "Can you fix my RC?"

-The triplets next door run outside, and say how cool your car is.(They do that!)

- Your proud of Traxxas for making it on to Dirty Jobs.

-Not sure if I've posted this yet but you found out what GoPro was through RC vids and the RCc hero cam

-Your car is Chuck Norris proof.

-The RC workshop is too big to fit in your house.

-You think that Costco should sell Hobby Grade RCa and their parts.

-You bring you RC to the storage place so you can bash. (Going to do that next time, perfect place to do that!)

-You routinely re-glue the tires to the rims.

[DiggerPede]

-- When you pre-order the new 1/10 Rally 4WD --

-- You also change you signature to reflect it!! --

LOLOLOL

[O.G.]

Yea!!!^^^^

[kdvanb]

When you have more messages on these forums than Facebook

[kevfrostbite]

love it!! made me giggle for the duration....

[TraxxasTuesdays]

When there is a girl in one of your classes at school named Tamiya... and you feel the need to tell her the significance of her name in the RC world.

[Wolfslash16]

LOL! When your family plans a vaction 4 months ahead of time, and you mess everything up 2 days before you leave, just so you can drive your rc car one last time before you pack them up to go with you. (Just did that today)

[Dodgeviperred]

You know your an addict when you almost have one of each model traxxas makes

[Stephan81]

When your basement is full of boxes from all the orders that have came in and think to yourself, when I move we don't need boxes.

When you go to the post office, pick up like 4 packages, leave them in the car, then when the wifes gone to bed you bring everything in, open it up like your 8 years old and it's christmas.

When you tell yourself over and over, " Ok, I have enough RC stuff time to chill " Then 2 minutes later your online looking for upgrades that you don't need in anway, but hey I WANT IT CLICK BUY!!

When your driving down the road, and all you see around you is awesome places to bash and awesome jumps.

When you build up your cart and wanting to buy stuff, and spend literally a week filling the cart, removing/adding stuff. What starts out to be about $30 order and it turns into like $150. And nothing in your cart is what you originally had in there or planned on buying.

Dude, are you stalking me or something? Every time I decide to make a big purchase, that's exactly how I am! I compare all the top companies, prices, who has what in stock, what shipping deals I can get, what's on sale, and spend days pouring over write ups and going over build threads to make sure everything will fit and work together. Sometimes I make up a spreadsheet in pen so I can keep everything straight. Last time I did this, my wife found a two page spreadsheet to upgrade my Wraith that had about twenty-five different parts I was getting to make over the whole truck in one giant purchase. I had a column for each part going down the side and ten columns across the top for each company that carried parts. Color coded for in stock status. She just asked if I was nuts........maybe. I'm on week two of the same for a complete rebuild of my E 4-Tec.......

[X_Spurt]

When you've named your dog revo

Lol!! Not a bad name for a dog!

[X_Spurt]

-When you dislike the weekends because mail doesn't run (2 days without new parts)

[X_Spurt]

When tapatalk and eBay are both on the bottom 4 apps on the iPhone dock.

[Pandee]

I don't feel so alone haha

[Redsawacs]

.....you build RTR RCs from spare parts laying around the work bench!
