I just can't help myself! - 06.23.2009, 05:27 PM

I just can't stop the urge to buy things. I saw the VXL E-Revo's pop In Stock on Tower, so I had to buy one. That alone doesn't make me an addict, but the fact that I already have 2 of them sitting at home likely does. Is anyone else quite as addicted to buying RC vehicles?

if i had the cash, i'd be buying a LOT. the e-revo VXL's are very tempting...i'm almost at the verge of giving in. if you decide to sell one of your 3, let me know.

If I remember correctly...didn't you have a big sale not to long ago to thin out your collection

I know how you feel when it comes to buying rc . I had to set a limit this summer and of course that lasted 3 weeks... So I am out of money until this winter...for good reason though..my daughter goes to private school and it is not cheap!

Surely you dont mean 3 ERBE's, do you? If so, you certainly do have it bad.

I did check out Tower at the prompting of this thread though.

Not the ERBE, just the VXL 1/16 E-Revo.

If money wasn't an object...I would own my own rc shop complete w/2 indoor tracks and I would pay someone else to run it so I could play!

I would need a small warehouse to hold all of my vehicles/rc gear in

I don't think you have very many people beat, There is people that have spent 30k. I know this past year I have almost 10k and I don't consider that beating many..

I just find alot of good deals... I have no idea what I have spent on rc, but I can say that this is year number 3 of my being in this hobby... I have owned 120+ vehicles so far, and currently have at least 40. That is not counting multiples of the same thing either
