What is your other hobby (money pit)

[Streeter69]

I went to check on my stress relief. Making a list of things I need to upgrade this year.

 

[Outcastblxnut]

Hunting ???

 

[magnetik]

I'm taking this hobby up to get away from guns and cars.. it's a lot cheaper. I can't imagine a boat and all the things that involves. heh

 

[slick2500]

I "collect" glass "tobacco" pipes. Like these.

Hookers and blow. Gets expensive.

I have a lot of hobbies that I sort of come back and forth to but for the last year or more RC has been the one I'm sticking with & enjoying the most. Because I do speed runs there is so much involved, ...like building & fabricating parts as well as testing.

A lot cheaper than some of my other hobbies like modifying my full size car. knife collecting or when I was collecting/shooting antique airguns.

Also RC brings together some of my other hobbies that I enjoy doing like making things with my hands, spray painting etc so it's win all round.

Guns and grilling/smoking.

I forgot I also play with wood. I made this counter top for work with cut off's of some laminate we use.

I’ve been done with the whole EDC thing for a decade (too many knives, flashlights, pens, multitools, etc. that it’s unhealthy), had a few years into custom mechanical keyboards (a hobby I’ve spend 20x more on than RC), a lifelong photographer, personal audio nut, and now an RC semi-noob.

My current biggest money pit is my kids. Gotta love’em.

Oh snap! If we count them then they take the cake. Their college tuition alone cost me a Ferrari and that's no bullspit!

If it was not for the kids, I could afford my dream car!

Knives and other EDC toys

Those are some deep waters for sure.

Some more.

Deals on speakers and amps can be found if you don’t mind driving and dealing on Craigslist, they are a hard sell. McIntosh, Marantz, Audio Research and nearly all tube two channel will always bring money but there are deals on some great sounding gear. The huge JBL’s were free. They were part of a sound stage at a convention center which was getting turn down. They were moments from going in the dumpster. The grills did not make it.

Besides RC cars I am into rear cars (BMW, Mini Cooper, need an American V8 next) fpv racing/freestyle drones, building guitars, Gundam models, guns (lots of guns), 3D printing/designing my own stuff, computers, and I have a full race built Saab 900 I haven't ran in years that I should probably sell but I kinda like having a race car as lawn art.

Yes I am single and unmarried and take full advantage of it.

I have some old speakers from the late 60s early 70s, Empire Electronics Royal Grenadier 9000. When I stuck them in storage they worked okay, one of the woofers in one and one of the tweeters in the other needed to be replaced. These things were heavy especially once you put the solid 24" Portuguese marble tops on them.
Not my picture just one I stole off Google.
