Default Back on the slippery RC slope

So, a few weeks ago all I have is an old dusty Predator and I go and buy my eldest son a cheapish Tamiya buggy. This prompts me to dust off the Pred. Then the other son wants a buggy, so I buy him a holiday buggy too.

Realising that my Pred isnt the best thing for racing now, I buy a B44 but promise to keep on a tight budget.

Then we all go to a club meet......

Now look what's happened. So much for the budget

Well, there's no way of taking the money with us so enjoy while we can is my philosophy, as you know, there's so many classes and cool options these days that its hard to stay strong in the face of shiny buggy goodies.

I always say to my self..."No more cars, no more at the moment" then whamo! More shiny stuff to drive. Now ya family are in to RC you can have a bit of an excuse welcome back to the greatest hobby in the world

Good luck and enjoy mate

Trouble is when you see a bargain you feel you can't afford to miss it! Why not once you get the RC Bug you just keep coming back!!

Gotta say that you're both right.

I do search for good deals, but then I haven't got much choice lol.

I've stuck to all associated though so that I can build a spares package at reasonable cost.
