I have to have a lot of projects all going at once, otherwise I get burnt out when I work to much on one project, then I usually get frustrated and sell it so working on a few different things keeps me occupied and allows me to take a break from one and work a little on another. Usually, as I work on one, I get ideas for the other one as well.

as of right now, I am currently working on the following:

1.9 Tamiya Hilux (OG)
1.9 Fabtech Rock Racer
1/8 Z28 camaro
2.2 Nissan Pathy (yeup started up on that again)


and I would like to start my Bronco Axial X-trail build this weekend

Just dont let yourself get burnt out on any one particular truck, work a little bit on each one and go from there.

I currently have 4 complete trucks, and a pile of parts laying around to build another, but i am having a hard time working on my super class truck since it never gets used anyways. I have alot of things i need to fix on it, but im just not "feeling it". I may just sell it and get a PS3, the other 3 trucks require enough maintenance as it is. When it starts becoming a chore just to go out crawling, is when i think you need to step back and re-evaluate

I'll tell you what I do with my projects - get frustrated because it's taking too long/not going anywhere, and part it out or sell it on eBay

I wouldn't recommend it...

4u2nv is right. the body is mine but the chassis etc. is my friends, i am using it until i get mine built.

i would'nt put it on ebay. if it came to that, i would just post projects in the for sale section here so i know it will go to a good home

I feel the same way. I have five projects in the fire with another one on the way:

Avalanche Scaler
Tuber
Trophy Truck
SW3
Super
Clod 2.2
Tow Rig 1/6th scale

These are all in different phases of development. About a month ago I was ready to up them up for sale and start over. Now I am focusing on one at a time.

Mike...you going to WMB6 this weekend???

I've got many projects going.

Real Bronco
Snow Blazer
mad force
Wheely C-10
Jim's truck

The only way I can keep it going is if I have one truck that is operational at all times. That way I can take a break go out and drive a little bit. Driving a r/c really helps keep you interested in building. I find that if I have nothing to drive I just get bored quickly and spend all night looking at this website. New parts always help.

I do that a lot, when I start to get bored or burnt Ill usually just jump on RCC and web wheel for a while, usually helps get me some new ideas.

New parts is big too, I was definitely getting bored with my rock racer then I got my 1.9 Rock Stompers and when I put them on it looked so sick it sparked my interest again.

Is there such a thing as too many projects?
I'm working on a Hilift, K2-3L, K2-3S, Just bought parts for a hybrid and I've got a few more sets of axles that need a rig to go with!
The waiting is the worst part of being overseas, thats true. I hate it when people won't ship to APO's. It ends up costing me more because of paying two shipping fees and takes longer to boot. Oh, well, it just gives me time to figure out which project to work on!!

At least your current pic's are at least rollers. I have 2 Comp Rigs tore down for repairs, 1.9 Scaler in parts in a Box, 2.2 Tuber in two different cities, and a 14in Clod still is stock form......
