I'd like to think I'm motivated, I just lack the time. At least I got one build done this year (Pro Radiant). At this rate, I should be done with all my RC plans in only 20 years! :D

I put almost 2 hours in last night, but nobody here wants to be bored by details and pictures of me painstakingly scoring liquid mask with an X-Acto knife. Zzzzzz.....

My RC enthusiasm dropped off the radar about 6 months ago, about the same time I split up with my girlfriend. (and its the summer so i was mostly getting drunk).

I haven't had much energy for anything hobby related. I have to move from a house with a garage to an overpriced apartment with no storage. I've had to thin my collection and even the cars I said i'd never get rid of are starting to call out to me to be sold. Its so sad. I have a Villian boat that needs motors and electronics, two vintage sail planes that need monokote and new radios, and about 4-5 project RC10's that need me to buy parts for. Money and time is effectively gone...

I lost my motivation/intrust about this time last year when our local track was closed out from under me and I was one of the original six that started it and still got kicked in the privets after 10 years! :roll:

My oldest son just moved into his own place and the youngest started high school today with him playing football then hockey plus work and the never ending honey do list I just dont have any time. :cry: So when time permits ill be selling off most of my modern and vintage cars and parts, No Im not going away I just don't think I need to hoard them to my self.

Motivation, yes. Focus, no. I have half a dozen cars in pieces in plastic bins (and another on the way that probably will meet the same fate for a while). I get something, drive it a bit, then tear it down, and lose focus and go look for something else. It's like workshop ADD.

i guess my issue is more that i've just shifted my focus on to other things. i only have so much money to spend on......... whatever, and right now it can't be r/c.

Yeah I have some piles of parts ready for builds but once I post the details and kick it off, there is so much pressure to keep the eyeballs on this site updated! :o
