ya I feel like a dork sometimes for sure, the girlfriends family gives me a bunch of crap for playing with "toys" too. I think the gf is getting me some r/c's for christmas and i'm sure i'll really hear about it then.  you can usually end it pretty quick with a ok... i'll sell it and get a real jeep and do the real thing!  |

how much money do you have to spend on your hobby before its no longer a toy... i dont care what it is 1:1, 1:10...i am a car guy and i like anything that is mechanical...trust me i catch hell from everywhere. everybody calls me the whitest black guy they know...i always say "i didnt know you had to be white to drive a truck...its an anomoly my toyota starts up every morning." sorry i dont fit the stereotypes. sorry my olds doesnt have 300" rims and i like to go mudrunnin. i didnt know being black was an act. i cant be black or white...im just me. have fun while you can...this life isnt a dress rehearsal. |

Except my kid is only 4. Kind of hard to pass off that one.I feel most dorkish after encountering another rc'er and babbling on like a little kid about all sorts of rc related stuff. But then again, I'm paid to be a nerd at my job, so it just goes with the territory! | |

I sorta do, my friends thinks its just stupid except one who's into rc's as well, they always ask how i can spend 100s on the stupid little cars. But then i let them drive it then they want one. Its really funny when me and my friend talk about it at school, like servos and escs and such. Everybody is like what the hell are they talking about. I always tell them not to worry about it.

I have been out of RC for several years and when I initially posted this, I did feel somewhat awkward re-entering the hobby. Not anymore! I am back into it at full speed. I can't pass by a pile of rocks on the commute home without breaking my neck to get a closer look!  |

I'm actually not affected today but I think there was a time that it did seem like a dorky thing to be doing. Now I just recognize it as a relatively common mental illness as does most of society. |
