#5 = you strung up! :)

"But Honey, think of all the money we're saving by not spending money on tobacco! This one vehicle could be the difference in me quitting and going back to that expensive habit. Essentially, this new *insert vehicle here* will save us money and help me live longer. If you don't let me buy this car, you're basically telling me that you don't love me anymore."

Or did you already use that for the 3rd vehicle?

I'm not a very good person. :angel:

Evil genius ^^^^^ :diablo:

No I did not use that for the 3rd. I gave up the ramp for the 3rd. No more 3 story high truck smashing jumps for me. lol I hope I get my call back soon, I'd really like to know why they have not shipped my replacement when I called early Monday morning.


edit: pardon my frustrations, they are not right, just a combination of nicotine withdrawal, a horrible week at work, my condo flooded with raw sewage on Monday, and bad rc luck has my rationality askew.

Looks like I slipped through the cracks. Bernie said they will get one out to me. Here's hoping by next weekend.

Good luck on the smoking ban dickyt. I quit 4 years ago this month and it was the hardest but best thing I ever did. I had smoked for over 12 years. Regaining your sense of smell is a wondrous thing. The main thing I had to get through my mind is that there is no reason to start smoking again and no such thing as just one or one last cigarette. It's hell for the first two weeks, a little better the next two, then it gets easier and easier every week after.

This is an interesting theory, I currently have about 10 working rcs and 30 or so projects. Some are rollers, some are boxes of parts, some are stock waiting to be welded up, and others are just ideas! I am on a 10th scale kick right now, so I will get 5 or 6 of them running and clean, then go back to finishing my MT selection. If I could spend 2-3 hours a day working on them, I could most likely finish it all in 6 months. Sadly I may get 8-10 hours a week, so it will take much longer! And I keep buying stuff...

I wish I could be more organized like you guys, my life is chaos, but that is ok for me!

Most people smoke a pack a day, so say 7-8packs a week. 3 bucks a pack makes about 25 bucks a week. So a year would be 1300 bucks. A fair chunk of change.

You can send some this way. I'll build them drive them and break the for you then fix them and return as working. I could pull the "Honey, but they are not mine!"


thanks for the quitting smoking support guys. I have tried several times before with no luck, this time is different, i will not let myself have one. I will go curl up in a corner with the detox tremors for hours and just take it (nightly experience for the past 2 weeks)

TexasSP you are right, there is no last cigarette. and I will show my geekdom and quote my favorite movie character now. "Do or do not... there is no try."

I am choosing "Do" this time. Maybe no rc's this weekend is a good thing, I tend to smoke when I bash. lol.

Thanks for letting me slip though the cracks Castle! you may have just aided my efforts, but please, oh please do not do it again! A working MMM here by next weekend would be nice ;) I can only handle so much RC withdrawal along with nicotine withdrawal.

I regret to inform you all that my MMM just died.There was nothing anyone could do,it just died quietly .It will be sent back as soon as Castle contacts me.:surprised:

How long did it take to die?

40 minutes total time and after 10 minutes today it just stopped.I was running 4s MA 6000 battery and a Neu 1515/1.5d:diablo:

glad to know DickyT quit smoking... TRY HARD DICKYT....
ps. i also do detox but i'm not smoking

about the same as mine.

And Castle are saying that if it is going to die it will be within 10 minutes, makes you wonder if all of them are going to go eventually :oh:
