IMPULSE BUYING 🤔 HAVE YOU BEEN Infected WITH THE VIRUS CALLED RC ADDICTION 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[arrmadillo]

Impulse buying goes way back here to 2005. Have at least 3 large Rubbermaid totes with tons of new nitro stuff. Engines, glow plugs, tires/ wheels, probably 20 new bodies on the shelf, new jato in box, parts parts and more parts. Been a RC fiend for a long time, gave up on myself a long time ago.

Not sure if this is an impulse buy or not, as I DID need a cap pack for the XLX2. So in a sense, it's a necessity much like food and shelter
However, I COULD have bought a used KillMode alot cheaper and the LHS has Powerhobby's in stock for $30 cheaper. To me, the statement, "Only used it two or three times" is hobby-speak for "Ran it hard every weekend, but kept it clean". And there is something about PowerHobby, don't know what, that just makes me a bit uneasy. Some Captain Industry BS or another.
So FOR ONCE I actually used the Forums search thingy, did some homework, and settled for what seemed the popular choice, RippleKiller. Now the wait begins...

I am not addicted. That's ridiculous! I never have more than 20 cars.

Anyone want to impulse buy this..?
The price has to be a typo surely.

May I ask why you need a cap pack for your xlx2? I've heard that they aren't really necessary for them

Trying to break 130mph and the build is strictly for speed runs. I heard the same, that the XLX2 controls ripples better yet haven't seen or heard anyone say you don't need a cap pack. But for someone new to Castle like I am, it may be necessary until all those squiggly lines on the charts make any amount of sense to me and I tweak settings accordingly.

Never bought anything RC as an impulse buy. I research and give all purchases thought. Then buy what I want. Sometimes I end up selling the rigs if they are not what I really like after trying them out for a while...but always just get another one to try.

Last week was a very bad week of impulse buying for me. I just blame it on my birthday coming up. Everything on the shelf besides the yellow boat, was purchased last week. Including the shelf itself. The wife is not so pleased with me at the moment. And now the batteries and servos and what not are coming in

No, no! You just need more shelf space

You'll enjoy the black jack.i had one it's a boat load of fun

So do you still run nitro ? or did you just gave up on it?.

Lol only 20 huh .that's a nice amount..if you had 21 then I'd say you have a addiction

Did you happen to get it yet?

 

[arrmadillo]

Yeah I still run them time to time.

Speaking from experience, that doesn't help.

I'm another heavy researcher because I don't have a lot of disposable income, want to make sure I'm absolutely sure before I buy... however my very first RC coming into the hobby last December was the Losi Mini T 2.0 - The last time I drooled over RCs was in high school and those Losi's looked so awesome, I didn't even think about the fact that it would only run on hardpack or pavement and not through grass - ended up trading it for a SCX24 Gladiator around the same time I was gifted my Granite from the wife for bday/xmas - now I'm not too into the crawling thing anymore and I'm probably going to try and trade it for one of the wltoys drifters. This hobby is strange in that there are so many ways to express yourself and customize!

That being said I probably would call my WLToys 144010 brushless an impulse buy, the speed and the price just kind of slapped me in the face, when I could have just spent a little more for something with a little more... shall we say... longevity? Still a super quick little buggy, just have to remind myself it's not an Arrma and not give it too many big sends!

My doctor told to buy two more and call him in the morning for my RC infection. My other infection/rash will take a couple weeks to get over.

 

[stevenwm]

Almost all mine are impulse buys!!
I don’t know if I should laugh or cry so I put this face
