I just can't help myself! -

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!

Dang, you're even worse than I am! Imagine how bad it would be if money weren't an issue? Yikes!

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

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.

Well I guess that's only half as bad Sean.
And you really like the 1/16 that much, huh?  I have not seen one up close & personal yet. That could change things maybe......

There's a few reasons I like them...
Add lipo, swap out the Rx for Spektrum and it's ready to bash.
If it breaks, it's a heck of a lot cheaper to fix than anything larger.
Batts are much cheaper than 1/10th or 1/8th scale.
It's much easier to drive one of these in the street in front of my house without fear of damaging the truck itself, someone walking down the road or a parked car.
It's fun as heck to drive.

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..
