| I'm Sooo Addicted!!
I have owned a few RC cars over the years, but never really got too into it. Now at 37 years old I've discovered these rock-crawlers. I went out and bought a AX-10 kit. Now this little thing has consumed ALL of my free time, and money! I am absolutely addicted to tinkering with this thing. I am constantly tearing into it, making changes, and checking for performance gains...usually for the better, thanks to this awesome website and its members! I lay in bed at night thinking of how to improve my 4 link set-up, or how to get more sidewall support from my tires, etc.. I have converted part of our bedroom into a workstation. My chick thinks I'm nuts...and I'm starting to believe her. I don't care though, I am enjoying the hell out of this! I already want to build a scale rig from scratch, so I can have a comp rig, and a scale rig. With two of these things, I may not get any sleep at all! I would like to thank RCCRAWLER.com and its members!!!!! "My name is Crud, and I am a crawlaholic" |

I'm right there with you. And I thought I spent a lot on my original purchase. Now, if I can just keep myself out of the Berg sub-forum.

Diddo here. My wife gets pretty mad at me if I spend more then two nights in the basement working on my 2.2. Ever since I found crawling, I am aaaaaaaaaaaaaadicted! Already thinking of where I could put some rocks in my backyard for a 10x30 area to crawl. West Mich does not have a lot of natural rock areas and I actually get really jealous of the pics from people in westV and out west of the great places they get to crawl in. It's a powerful drug, this crawling thing is. |

I know exactly how you feel. I bought my first AX10 back when they were Preorder, and it was several months before I got it. Then I put it together and didn't even buy the electronics before I lost interest in it. Somewhere in the middle of all that I had signed up on here and found out Kamikaze lives here where I live, and ended up going by his house to check out some of his stuff. Right after that I finished mine up and have now built two more and getting ready to try to figure out a Berg build. The day I met Jeff we were talking about where we worked, and I mentioned how most of the time I don't do much here but sit and read offroad forums all day, and he said if he had a job like that he would be on RCC all day. At that point I didn't really realize how addictive these little things could be, but once I finally drove mine I was hooked, and now I sit on RCC all day. |

Just don't turn into one of the sheep that has to buy the next new thing of the week. Get your truck built how you like it, and drive it.

i actually had a nightmare the other night in where i was competing in an international comp, in the dream it was being covered by espn8 "the ocho" (probably because i was watching dogeball before i went to sleep), and for some reason my rig would randomly flip over onto its back the second the front tire touched a rock. i actually woke up in a cold sweat probabbly one of the weirdest dreams i ever had. | |

Now I'm looking for any cool landscapes with rocks and hills. Does this qualify me as an addict, if so My Names RCHuffer. on my hands and knees searching for a piece of rock... |

My wife calls this website RC Porn. Said she wouldn't be as jealous if I was looking at girls.
