Default There's something wrong with me!

As you know I just got a Slash yesterday..... for some reason I'm into these Slash style cars these days....

Now I want a Losi Slider too! what's wrong with me...

I thought I will be satisfied after I got the Slash.

I'll probably get one of those also. Unless by the time I'm ready to get one AE comes out with one.
Nothing is wrong with you, your just addicted just like me.[&o]

Once you own 15+ rc's - currently own, not have owned" then you can complain. Untill then you're just getting started.

There aint anything wroing with you, you fool In my SavageJim diagnosis, I will now identify whats wrong with you: You are officially addicted to RCs!

LOL, I'm just like you, I first bought an R40 as my very first RC years ago (I dont even know if that RC is in production anymore).
Then, looking at an HPI catalogue, I bought my very first Savage after looking on line fore several months. I scored really big when I bought a used Savage for $50! It was trashed, but I rebuilt the engine and tossed in my own electronics (The previous kid ripped those all out) and I got it going.
Eventually, I bought parts galore to keep that Savage going, so many parts that I built TWO other separate Savages. One of those became my second bashers, so if I crash my primary basher (and I did, ALOT), I just busted out the back-up and continued bashing! The other spare Savage, I made initially into a shelfqueen because I bought the New Era Models twin engine kit, but I eventually upgraded that to where I can actually take it out and run it.
Over the past few months, I acquired 2 FG 5th scale gassers to add to my little fleet.

Everywhere I go I look at stuff and ask myself...how can I use this for R/C ?
Is this action classified, an addiction,or a compulsive disorder ?
example of my finds; I use a dish drying wire rack turned upside down to sit my t-maxx on.
Can anybody relate to this kind of behavior ?

No, I do the same. When I drive by a construction site and see all the dirt mounds I immediately think "That would be great for me to launch one of my Savages from!"
Or even if I drive by an open field, I get a feeling wishing I had an RC to take out and run!

Me too. It's a bit more broad with me though. It's more of a, "What can I build with this?" feeling.

I feel like that too. Right now im at a slow spot, all i want is tires wheels and a new body. but some days it changes from airplanes to helis and 1/8 nitro conversions and micros... I would say stick with the slash for 2 or 3 months and if you still want the slider then, maybe you should get it.

Your addicted! lol I have always wondered do the losi sliders actually slide? Every time I see one there racing on dirt but they look like normal oval racers.

I too have a confession. I'm addicted to RC's. Spend all my spare money to maintain and upgrade, and now that the Summit has come out, I want one of them too. Already have 4 cars that I run, and still want more. The Mini T I started with wasn't enough, so I got a 2.5 Revo. That wasn't good for running in tight areas, or at night over rough ground, so I added a Mini LST. That was great once lights were added. Then, I saw a Duratrax Evader ST, very similar to the Losi XXX-T, so I added that. It seems like the more cars you get, the more you want.

I told myself I wouldn't buy another car for a year. That lasted about a month thanks to my neighbor. Then he tells me he has more cars he'd like to sell. I said Oh God, get me out of this house before I'm broke!!! And now a few of the guys at work have bought those Mini helicopters... [:@][&:]

The last time I counted I had 46 RC's. About 40 where complete and running and another 6 that needed minor repair. I have about 20 more chassis that are laying around that could run if I made an effort. Now for the Bad part. Since I counted last I've picked up 3 old MRC world scale cars (two trucks, one buggy). Bought another slash, Tamiya pajero, hotshot, Tundra, Fire dragon and twin detonator. I currently have pre-orders for the Tamiya countach, New subaru WRX and boomerang. I've picked up a few old hornet's/ super hornets, a tamiya drift car and a several others misc brands that I'm sure I'm forgetting. The local hobby shop is also trying to get an idea on when the new 1/16 scale traxxas trucks will be out. I've already told them to place the order as soon as they're announced. I don't even want to think about the number of bodies, batteries, chargers, tires etc etc etc that I have laying around. There's nothing wrong with you. There may be something wrong with me but this hobby is addictive. I've actually started hiding them in the garage.

There are only two things slowing down the growth of my RC garage. One is space, have a small apartment and don't have room for a lot of RC cars. Two is that every time I go to the hobby shop, I end up broke. Nothing wrong with it, as long as the neccessary bills get paid. It is VERY addicting though. Enjoy.

P.S. I still WANT a Summit.
