Re: your house is on fire
Nice subject line... draw em in.
Earlier this week I got a work email entitled "Additional vacation hours available" and when you opened it it said, "Now that I have your attention, timesheets must be turned in by noon this Friday due to the upcoming holiday. Thank you."
Edit: something happened to my post and half of it was missing.
I would grab my Hotshot runner. It was my first real r/c and most of it is vintage parts and hopups.

Re: your house is on fire
My Losi pro se.
Its built it from all of the racing parts from back when I raced my pro. I have had my pro longer but all of the racing history is on the se now, and the pro is just another shelf queen now. it is a hard decision as I Love them all. I guess the se is just my favorite

Re: your house is on fire
well since my wife left and I wouldn't have to wake her, that would give me enough time to grab two instead of one and they would be my period hopped up rough rider and my MIP 4wd sand scorcher.

Re: your house is on fire
I would have a hard time, I may just burn with them all! I guess if I was able to make a quick decision, I would grab the autographed Edinger, I think.....! Damn you treehugger, I'm sure I would burn!

Re: your house is on fire
I think I'm going to run out and buy a large duffle bag now. I'll keep it near my r/c cars. When the fire starts, I'll just grab that bag, extend my arm and sweep all my r/c's into it, like how they used to do on those Toys R Us toy run commercials and be out the door in like 5 seconds.

Oh who am I kidding, I'd probably let them all burn and be out the door with my favorite bicycle.

I can see it now, the firemen have their catch net readied and are waiting for you to jump, but you just keep lobbing r/c's out the window! LOLslotcarrod wrote: Damn you treehugger, I'm sure I would burn!![]()

Maybe you need two dufflebags then?MelvinsArmy wrote:Oh who am I kidding, I'd probably let them all burn and be out the door with my favorite bicycle.

Re: your house is on fire
I would say the Franken-10, but with all it's been thru I'm pretty sure it would just laugh and put the fire out; so I would just grab the beer...

Re: your house is on fire
well seeing i would have to run upstairs to get to the rc's i would be screwed too. sadly the wife and i already discussed this. i would toss them out the window and her job would be to pick them all up and toss em in the car. by the time i would get them all tossed out its not likely i would get out unless i jumped also.Halgar wrote:I can see it now, the firemen have their catch net readied and are waiting for you to jump, but you just keep lobbing r/c's out the window!

but... if it was truly a situation where could get one i would most likely burn to death while trying to decide between the atomic carbon s2 and the durango b4.

Not sure what I would take but I think I would blame truck-o-saurus first.
