I’m all in….

[BudUMfan]

Realizing that I have an RC car addiction, and have another car in my cart…. My wife slapped me with the reality of “You’re going to get another one that you’re just going to break and can’t fix?” I took her advice. Now I’m ready to take my time and learn how to fix my own stuff. Like y’all say… what takes me 5 hours will be a 15-30 minute job. I’m excited to break my shiz and don’t have to worry about breaking my stuff every run.

Why do you have shelves in front of the stripper pole?

 

[BudUMfan]

Made my wife take her stage down for me so I could fit my stuff. Lol. Now if I could only get her on OF? I’d have a Lamborghini!

Nice setup, I would recommend a barstool or something along those lines to save your back.

Everything in the hobby multiplies..including needed work/storage space.

Nice workbench!! I've got the exact same one!!! I love it!

I got a stool, but I'm usually standing. Get a good cushioned mat. It'll be a life saver if you do end up standing a lot while wrenching.

I need a good workbench actually.
Do you recommend that one?

I would. Decent size, 2 large drawers on front, over head light (not the brightest, but could easily add a larger one), plugs on the side, shelf on top, storage at bottom, all metal and plenty of room for stickers!!!

And my little RC buddy!

Got mine from Amazon, but other stores sell this one (Olympia) and other similar versions.

Not at all! As long as you aren't asking for naked wrenching pics too!!

Would the account be named @arrma only fans?

I've found the fixing/upgrading side of the hobby just as, if not more gratifying, than the driving side, at least for me... I work as a 1:1 mechanic everyday for the last 25 years, so I guess I might be in the minority, but I love making something better than when it gets to me, and it's relaxing in a weird way. A good work space and quality tools makes all the difference, buy once-cry once when it comes to rc tools, the cheap stuff will cause more headaches and cost you more in the long run

Some of us call it “wrenching therapy”
I actually like to wrench late at night in silence.

Awesome! Good luck, and enjoy! There's a lot of satisfaction in learning to fix different things yourself. Nice work area, too!

Lol, I actually did a complete re-build on a scx24 the other night, started around 9:30 after the kids went to bed and stayed up until around 1a.m. finishing it...
