Yep, I've done that too. About 15 minutes ago I found a box which contained a gold tub RC10 that I've had for about 4 years now and totally forgot about it :?.

Did you guys see the promo aired last night on A&E? It was awesome, filled with RC stuff. Hoarders is going to visit timbo's house next week. :lol:






Just kidding Bud!

Daddeo, I've got a 12x35 filled and one room in my apartment filled. Keep in mind the 12x35 also has two 1:1 cars in it as well, so I guess I can't claim it's really filled.

Dude.

You have a world-class collection of highly desirable vintage r/c cars, parts, and accessories, not to mention a calling/vocation in providing enthusiasts all over the world with high quality lexan for their r/c projects. That room in the apartment is being put to good use! No vines, I'm sure.

Before I got back into this, I remember checking every once in a while on eBay and seeing JRX2 bodies going for $50-100, which was totally prohibitive for me and probably most other folks. Now ... getting my JRX2 back in running shape is almost within reach ...

TRX1 body went for over $50 on eBay last night ... even with a Bluegroove repop available. Are you thinking about doing that body? It fits on, like, everything from the era including Junior 2s and Pros. Also, I have a couple of old Dahm's bodies ... I think "Torpedo" and something "X", NIP. They are JRX2/RC10 and XX bodies, respectively. I just want to make sure that they aren't on your list of bodies to acquire for molding, although I must admit I am super hesitant to paint them until I have the right project lined up.

There aren't enough bodies out there to fit the JRX2 and Pro ... I saw that you have the Jammin' Jumper for the RC10. Does the Jammin' (or anything else you know of) make an ok alternative to the original Losi bodies?

Anyway, I think most of us here are thrilled that you are paying the rent for all that sweet gear to have a comfy place to sleep (!).

mrlexan - I agree with what shirochanwrx and will add that no matter what else you have in there with them I have nothing as desirable as you do. My hobby room is only a 10X12 and it's a complete mess right now but soon I hope to have it a little more organized than it has been. I did not see that promo but might take a look ;).

I think I'm finally seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel with regard to organizing the parts and "grouping" them together.

A cool find from today while looking for a screw for my A&L build.
