Buying rc stuff daily?

[kenyanr1]

Ok guys, between Amazon, LHS, eBay, marketplace, various online retailers, etc.., it seems like I buy something every other day rc related. What about you? How often do you buy rc stuff???

Sounds like you need a meeting. https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/rcholics-not-so-anonymous.9815/

Sometimes multiple days in a row and more than one thing. If more than 3 days go by and I haven't had an order arrive I feel like somethings wrong...

That was me in the 1st year or so, cost me a couple 000s. I’m pacing lately, or trying to.

Psh, I wish!!

You get to the point where you have multiple rigs and you only buy stuff after it breaks. In the begining you are like...I know this will break so let me buy spares. Can't tell you the number of spares I have thinking things would break....and they didn't. Much easier way to go about it. Also less expensive. Good luck.

Good advice

I usually break all the cars, and then replace all the parts. RN I have $300 of parts to buy to fix all my cars.

I buy stuff just just in case I think I might need it !

Sounds like you usually just break all the cars and never buy the parts!!

What I have blown on my Kraton over the last two weeks.

Rpm wing mount skid plates, Basher Queen horizontal brace, Hobbystar motor 4082 (for the Outcast), Tekno pinion 14t (for the Outcast), M2C extended axles, M2C wheel nuts, M2C rear driveshafts (I walked a way without one, my bad), Kraton 205mm wing, Kraton front axles + CV rebuild, Vitavon steering blocks and hub carriers, and Vitavon front and rear gearboxs. I forgot, 1 Hobbywing Max6 ESC (for the Outcast).

As a rule I never add up what I spend on RC stuff. Did I mention, a never ending supply of wings. Forgot to mention, I also got a set of A-arms.

Less vehicles means less expense. Retired and living off savings until ss kicks in at year end. All I need to do is think about having to go back to work with idiots. That potential nightmare keeps me grounded and in check with my spending.

Reading this post literally made me remove stuff from my amain shopping cart just now haha

I bought a spare max 4 because I just had one blow up. I knew when I bought it I would use it as an excuse to build another 12s rig in the near future. I'm so far down the rabbit hole I don't even think I can ever see daylight again.

Every time I buy something from Jenny I throw in others stuff because WTF... I try to preempt the need.
Spend money so I can save money, is what I tell myself.
Its bad. I hide it from others outside this forum because they just don't understand.

Spare Parts .

I like having spares on hand, the threat of discontinuing an RC model also encourages this.. Not to mention speedy repairs or rebuilds.

Seems like anytime they discontinue something, people jump on the Parts Pickers inventory first!

 

[Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal]

Only repair/maintenance costs for me I'm almost down to my goal amount of cars, and pace of actually driving them regularly.

 

[Bustedaw11]

I go threw waves of purchases.

Might go months without buying anything then get an itch to buy everything I see

Yes, I have a serious problem. (Seriously)
This is A-main. This doesn’t even account for M2C, Amazon, eBay, and various other sources, and only goes back to December. And I’ve been doing this since I was 10. (I’m 46). I have packages coming to the house constantly. But I don’t drink anymore, smoke, or use any controlled substance, so this is my only real money pit outside the gun safe
