SCUBA diving, skiing/snowboarding and this

i want to honda but the gas tank is totally throwing me!

Especially in 1/5 scale! Although it is getting cheaper, I knew a machinest who had to make all his own replacement parts in the past. I am kinda interested in the new brushless 1/5 buggies but I'm not going to tell the wife that just yet.

Yes it's true, RC is a very expensive hobby! If its radio controlled I probably have it!

Currently I race in the 1/8 nitro buggy and 1/8 nitro trigger classes. I race X-Ray brand cars from Slovakia exclusively. They are the Swiss watches of the RC car world. A typical racing chassis from them runs around $750.00. Add a $500.00 racing .21 engine and pipe and electronics and a running car runs about $2000.00!

Then there's the helicopters which are even worse! My Century gas 'copter is worth around $4500.00. I could buy alot of really nice corals and fish for that! Lol.

so
rc helicopters
"G""HO" scale trains

Thank-you! I just showed this post to my wife to prove that $640 for a Savage Flux HP is a great deal. I just do the upgrades over time so she doesn't know how much these cars really cost in the end.:razz: I'm just a basher myself and have never even been to a local track.

Polaris Victory 07 Vegas

Race rc cars, rc boats, ride my hogs, audiophile stereo systems ( you want crazy expensive, try $1000 for just a pair of speaker Cables, and 10 k speakers)
Used to be into offshore speedboats, but gas and moorage in Vancouver getting way too expensive. Most expensive hobby though is gambling. Lol

Going to guess that you have a claim somewhere in the Leech area. Very nice stuff, I have owned 2 claims there in the past plus Loss Creek and the Sombrio. Have a few claims left in the interior but not nearly as many as in the past.

Mountain biking (XC and DH) for me.. sailing and boating .. the usual summer bursts of stuff (camping hiking kayaking windsurfing etc. for about 2-3 weeks or so during non-winter months :lol:)

And .. as cliche as it sounds .. spending time with the mini monsters that apparently are my offspring. My oldest is about to turn 7 this month and it's neat that we're sharing some hobbies now - we're restoring my old Radio Flyer wagon together - thing must be pretty close to 40 years old (the wagon not the kid) and he's on my case every evening: "C'mon dad let's work on the wagon!!" ... I'm hoping we can progress up to cars next :lol: "C'mon dad let's work on the 911!!" (a guy can dream right??)

Ya, I wish the old man and I could have worked on some of his jalopies ....

Sadly, they all went away before I was old enough to lay claim

Motorcycles, woodworking, and recently SCUBA diving.

I don't even consider taking up hobbies that require less than several thousand dollars of investment for participation. :lol:

How could I forget to add my 1971 datsun pickup. My baby! Another recent hobby is shipwork. Repairing old tugs to be exact
