I give up.
I've been trying to get out of the hobby for several months because of how busy I am now (hence why I haven't been on rcu much), but I keep feeling a connecting to rc, so, I give in, I'm back in. Anyone else who's tried to get out had this problem?

Yeah. I go out for a while, then come in with a new hardcore need for nitro, then I go out, then I want electic... It's an ongoing 2 month cycle really.

I got out for around 4 years... only had one electric car left... then got into helis hard about a year and a half ago, now I've got 10 helis, 8 cars and 4 boats.... they need an AA for RC.

Yup. My Trex 450 heli was just put back into commision after a 2 month rest. The only reason I put it back together is because I was feeling guilty about my new purchase a Sprint 2 drift. The heli I got last winter. I bought it a few months after I sold my RC18mt. Fairly soon I will start working on my N scale trains again.
Right now I am in 1/10 drifting mode though

RE: I give up.
I had a couple cars when I was a kid, stopped with high/school. Got into planes in some later parts of college, stopped when i started working, picked up a couple tmaxx's but didn't use em'. . . . .
In the past couple years, I have been traveling across the nation going to the biggest carpet races around. Running 1/10th Sedan foam in 13.5, 1/12th in 17.5 and some GT, it's been a non-stop foam burning sensation. This last summer, no kidding, I pulled somewhere around 2,300 laps in 3 months. Our track races year round, non-stop and we have some of the most r/c addicted racers possible. Of course, some of them are national champions so it does kind of validate.
But if the real question is, 'can you be addicted to r/c' the answer is 'of course'. You can be addicted to anything.
I choose to look at it as a constructive use of time that would otherwise potentially be harmful to me. I never know what type of bad things I might get into if I'm bored.
So, ride height, droop, tweak, tire size, sauce, gearing, shocks, bats, bends, straights, chicanes, sweepers, tear-drops....... good for me. [8D]

Kinda same story here. Had several Tamiya and Kyosho cars and built a trainer plane in the late '80s, then high school and college got in the way. Got back into planes heavily when I started my current job about 7 years ago, then got back into cars for something to do when it's too windy to fly Right now, I've only flown maybe a few hours in the last month, but I've done three race weekends at the local track...it goes in cycles, but the basic r/c addiction never goes away.
