You should never tell the missus how much you spend on rc cars as it only gives them an excuse to spend the same on handbags, shoes, makeup, and what ever else they like to spend our money on, and always hide reciepts or bank statements, or just tell them you bought it second hand cheap.

Please tell me your joking. Why should you have to lie about spending your money. If she complains ask her how much she spends on shoes and make up. At least at the end of the day your car will still look good.

she hasn't asked me what it costs since I started in 93

I get 95% of the items I buy delivered on the days she's at work

Did ask her onece for a brushed stock motor for xmas and she nearly choked on the price of £27, sometimes wish she had

The scary thing is I'm beginning to lie to myself about how much I spend on RC.

can't lie about the price of rc stuff as my father-in-law own's the shop i get most of my stuff from.

she can check the prices whenever she likes.

besides she gets whatever she wants so i can buy whatever i want.

as bodgit and steggers said grow some balls lads

My missus has been quite good about it all but recently she has been asking me if I've "got everything I need now?"

i once bought a schumacher axis pro, about a month after Claire (my wife) had bought me the original axis.......

i told Claire that i had bought a new bodyshell for the axis, and got her to paint it for me, whilst I was "re-building" the axis - pro in the next room. I left the box for the axis pro in the car outside and brought the new kit into the house by stuffing all the parts bags in my coat pockets.

to the best of my knowledge, I completely got away with that...
