I scored a 7. Yikes! No wonder I'm friggin' broke.

BrianG 01.21.2009 02:45 AM

What about when you just call the LHS and they know who you are by the sound of your voice? :oops:

6 out of that list apply to me, and yes, I have Mike's # in my cell...

jnev 01.21.2009 03:34 AM

YogyBrushless 01.21.2009 05:21 AM

JERRY2KONE 01.21.2009 05:44 AM

Good right?
 
7 out of 10??:intello: Thats good right???:oh: Hail to the R/C Gods.:yipi:

How about if you have more than 20 R/C vehicles, boats, or helis in your house, you might be addicted to RC:yes::lol:.

gixxer 01.21.2009 06:13 AM

only 4, could count it as 5 though. I dont have mr monsters phone number but I have the 2 tracks that I go toes numbers and the owners cells.

JERRY2KONE 01.21.2009 06:39 AM

Numbers.
 
Hey I just got lincpimps number, does that count?? NO??? He's got more R/C's then God... I haven't had any reasons to call monster Mike. Besides we just send him an email if we need something. Oh well.

sikeston34m 01.21.2009 08:29 AM

Hey I think you forgot one.

If you have more money in the RC you race on the weekends than the car you drive, you might be addicted to RC.

:yes: :rofl:

asheck 01.21.2009 09:12 AM

So , since I have added shelves to my living room to display my rc's,and converted the kitchen into my workshop,the stove makes a great fireproof place to charge lipo's,and my hobby room is the biggest room in the house.Where does that put me.? Answer Divorced Oh well it's worth it.I was lucky to get 10 minutes of fun from her,for every hour of headache.At least with the rc it's more of a 1 to 1 ratio.

DickyT 01.21.2009 09:20 AM

3 or 5 depending on how things are interpreted. I have no kids so my photobucket is all rc stuff, although I do have 2 dogs, a cat, a fish tank and a wife.... I certainly spend more time on forum that with family, but I browse forum from work, does that still count? :lol:

lincpimp 01.21.2009 11:17 AM

10. If you subscribe or get more than one RC magazine a month (You might be addicted to RC’s) only subscribe to one, but buy at least 3 a month...

09. If you haft to have the latest and greatest RC that comes out regardless if you need it or not (You might be addicted to RC’s) not too bad about this, but I do buy alot of used stuff.

08. If you don’t care how much money you have to spend to get your build fixed after the weekend out with the boys. (You might be addicted to RC’s) don't so this, but I do spend a fair amount on spares.

07. If you walk in to your LHS and they all know you buy your first name. (You might be addicted to RC’s) Not only do the lhs employees and the owner know me, but most of the customers do too.

06. If your photobucket contains more pictures of your builds than your kids. (You might be addicted to RC’s) No kids, but my photobucket only has rc in it, nothing else.

05. If you converted your garage or loft to a workshop and display center for your builds (You might be addicted to RC’s) I guess this mainly applies to me, huh Shaun.

04. If you have more builds than you can drive in a weekend (You might be addicted to RC’s) How about more than I can drive in a week?

03. If spend more time on the forum than with your family (You might be addicted to RC’s) Most definately!

02. If you start to sleep with your build on your bed (You might be addicted to RC’s) This is strange, who does this?

And the # 1 sign that you have issues! :lol: :lol:
If you have Mr. Monster cell # pre-programmed in your phone and when you call him for something he knows it you by your number. (You might be addicted to RC’s) Not sure if I have Mike's number, I usually just order what I need, no questions asked!

What's_nitro? 01.21.2009 12:48 PM

06. If your photobucket contains more pictures of your builds than your kids. (You might be addicted to RC’s)

Well, I don't have kids- so yeah, it does!

04. If you have more builds than you can drive in a weekend (You might be addicted to RC’s)

I definitely do. Even though I haven't had a "driveable" build in a long time......

03. If you spend more time on the forum than with your family (You might be addicted to RC’s)

Family??? RC-M is my family!!!!! :lol:

E-Revonut 01.21.2009 01:32 PM

I don't have Mike's number but everything else is a yes! I'm doomed

OMG that is great and so true...lol :whistle:

jayjay283 01.22.2009 01:57 AM

10. If you subscribe or get more than one RC magazine a month (You might be addicted to RC’s) No but grab 2 or 3 when I roll into the LHS, used to have some horrible one dilivered off the kids cubscout mag. drive

09. If you haft to have the latest and greatest RC that comes out regardless if you need it or not (You might be addicted to RC’s) Nah I let you boys throughly test it then its not the latest but I know its the greatest !!

08. If you don’t care how much money you have to spend to get your build fixed after the weekend out with the boys. (You might be addicted to RC’s) Bragging about how bad you ate crap and messed up your truck is generally reserved for us bashers, count me in on that 1

07. If you walk in to your LHS and they all know you buy your first name. (You might be addicted to RC’s)What if they stare at you like you're going to steal something, that count ?

06. If your photobucket contains more pictures of your builds than your kids. (You might be addicted to RC’s)My builds are beautiful, those arent even my kids forget 'em

05. If you converted your garage or loft to a workshop and display center for your builds (You might be addicted to RC’s)Guilty as charged, can barely fit my car in there now

04. If you have more builds than you can drive in a weekend (You might be addicted to RC’s)Not sure how to vote on that, I never have enough running due to question 8

03. If spend more time on the forum than with your family (You might be addicted to RC’s) I thought you were my family ?? Aww man back to Social Services

02. If you start to sleep with your build on your bed (You might be addicted to RC’s)Tucked one in bed once to take a picture that must count

And the # 1 sign that you have issues!
If you have Mr. Monster cell # pre-programmed in your phone and when you call him for something he knows it you by your number. (You might be addicted to RC’s) No, But I have the numbers of many that do so Im just as screwed


If you answered yes to 1 or 2 of these there is still hope for you / all is not lost

If you answered yes to 3-5 of these your slipping fast and need to seek professional help!..

If you answered yes to 6 or more of these then Welcome to the Monster your a Regular!..

Funny, my LHS used to call me at work for answers to tech questions. I also used to go in after work and sell cars and service stuff... I was offered a job more than once and they even tried to sell me the place!

jayjay283 01.22.2009 03:46 AM

My LHS would call me up and be like Lincpimp sold me a turd car and my brushless melted. All I could do was start speaking spanish. You know hemmrhroid medicine takes the swelling down on black eyes.. Thanks Linc !



BTW I no where live near Linc and Its 100% joke, all in jest

JERRY2KONE 01.22.2009 04:31 AM

You shouln't have cleared that up for us. Linc needs to be punished from time to time anyway:whip::diablo:. He's sneaky:eyes:. Watch out he is behind you.....:lol::rofl:

Chachi_RC 01.22.2009 01:52 PM

The one that I always liked to let you know you are addicted to RC is that anytime you drive by a construction site or see a pile of dirt, you think what a great bash spot it would be or how cool of a jump that would make. I find myself doing that all the time! My wife cracks up that I do that. “Oh yeah, look at that rock pile!” or Wow, killer hill to climb!” Anyone else find themselves doing that too?

RCShocker 01.22.2009 05:09 PM

Well I can safely say that #1, #5, and #9 does NOT apply to me. :whistle:

With #5 NOT having a garage or loft certainly helps. :yes:

magman 01.22.2009 09:31 PM

7 out of 10....I just saw my money flying away again

mkrusedc 01.22.2009 09:39 PM

:rofl: 5...I am slipping fast!

MetalMan 01.22.2009 10:02 PM

So what about those of us who are employed by the LHS? 8 months ago I probably would have gotten 8/10 (no 2 or 9). Now it's more like a 6...

This is an extremely hard addiction to fight, I know! I go through withdrawls almost weekly, at least I have all this homework to keep me occupied... (yeah right)

I can see you Jerry...

Don't laugh.

Hey thats not too funny for us. Because of the job and working/living all around the world we have to live in housing that is on the local economy most of the time and we always wonder if it is bugged or if it has hidden video cameras installed for spy survalence type stuff. Diplomatic security is always a serious issue for us. We have Embassy's in some pretty shakey countries and a lot of the housing is seriously questionable. At least here we live on a US Army base, so no worries about you or anyone else watching over us.:na::lol:

Well at least we know you are watching out for us. Good to know it is you and not some foreign country freakshow, psycho, moron killer. Your a little bit better than that.

"If you haft to have the latest and greatest RC that comes out regardless if you need it or not (You might be addicted to RC’s)"

Well, what if there´s no "regardless if you need it or not."? You HAVE to have it... thats it, you NEEEEEEED it:).
