RE: Poll! Build em or run em?
Working on them is only a means to an end for me - the end being to get outside and enjoy the smell of nitro in the morning(um.., more in the afternoon..) - i.e. run them.
There are certain factors that affect this though - the main one in my case being that my workshop is in my bedroom - um.., no - would be far more accurate to say "my bedroom is an RC garage".. I have to make sure to leave the windows open so it doesn't smell like old burnt nitro. Pebbles fall out of wheels, etc.. - not to mention what it looks like.
If I lived in the US and had a big house with a garage and a little refuge there where I could play with them, it might be different.
But even then it's still a means to an end - for me..
