Not spread out all over the house, but crammed in a 12x16 room, I'm setting on about 215 or so. I'll have to give it too him to keep that many nitros going. I am down to 2 and they are on their way out. Yeah I need some more shelving, but snapped these last time is was pretty clean up there.

That's crazy. There's so much I couldn't make it to the end of the video. With all those nitros it must smell nice in there. To each his own though.

That guys dick must be like a bellybutton, a "INNY"
Why in the hell have 10 of the same truck ? He collects them like matchbox cars ?
Nice collection but come on, really ?

I have 10 trucks and absolutely struggle to find time to maintain more than 2-3 during the week after a weekend of running and I only work PT ?

I'll bet he's a lonely guy ?

I have 4 trucks and 2 helis at the moment. I have been into hobby grade RC for 3 years now and have had more trucks than I care to remember. Buying and selling is part of the hobby. My trucks all have their own niche though and the 2 others I want will also be different. I think this is a case of a spoiled rotten trust fund kid as mentioned before. All those Jato 3.3s where the same, savages the same, revos where pretty much all the same, etc, etc. I have an E-Maxx for bashing, RC8T for racing, CRT.5 is a jack of all trades in a smaller version, and a rc18t for anywhere fun! I plan on a Slash 4x4 or other CORR truck and a carpet car. I might even get a mini revo and get rid of the CRT.5 or keep them all but that would be my limit

Did you notice how all of them were clean? Even his polished AL chassis wasn't scratched!


I will spank a nitro any day...guaranteed. :)

Is it possible he owns or works for a hobby shop perhaps and just gets all of those delivered to his house before they go to the store? Or maybe that's the basement of the store and those are going to go on sale or something? They all looked way too clean to have been used more than once or twice. Gosh that's insane though!

Kinda makes sense, Maybe the dork buys a crap load of them and does all kinds of aftermarket installs but only drives a few and the rest are shelf queens. He did mention about 20 times that the particular truck was new and never ran. If thats the case seems like a lot of wasted money anyway you look at it ?

Why not give him the benefit of the doubt. Or are we ourselves so jealous we need to cast suspicion? Let he who is without faults cast the first stone (as I duck behind some 1" plexi).

I wonder how large the pile would be if we all went in there and took apart every truck and put it into a big pile....

The next godzilla tower anyone?

BTW: Anyone notice that he has 2 parts? aka, a 10 minute video, and another 8 minute one? WTF

I could easily believe someone would spend a ton on them then shelve it. People collect guns, baseball cards, bugs, why not r/c. The build, or just having it to look at, is as much fun as playing with it for allot of mine. Who wants to put a bunch of time, effort, and money in one only to get dirt stuck to it from nasty nitro fuel.

there are 5 parts


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

OMG1 Don't say that!!!!!!!!!

For some reason that thought is giving me cringes, deep down cringes(and not below the belt you wankers) I mean 60+ cars heaped into one massive pile? The horror!!!!! *curls into the fetal position and gently rocks him self on the floor* It would probably be better to sell the massive pile for $5000 than to attempt to assemble them all again, It would be impossible.

Now where's my weed? I need to calm down......What are you looking at?!.........don't judge me!.........who are you to judge me?!!.....I have a "prescription"!


*pant**pant* sorry you guys had to see that.....It gets pretty crazy around here when I can't find my "prescription medicine".............
