please consider!
So me and my girly friend lobe RC period! We've been into crawling for a few years now And I sold my fancy crawler off I been building for years to fund my excavator project. Its been a year now and its almost done but after selling the crawler I only got enough to fu d so much. I had gotten laid off and couldn't get unemployment at all and it was the begging of DEC. Ruind Christmas for my boy daughter and my girlfriend. We've been scrap in by barley since. We even got kicked out of our place due to mold nowhere would rent cause I had no job and it was tuff. We've been barley getting by as is now were catch in up slowly the back child support hit and is taking everything I make at my current job I have only had for three months now. We just need to keep doing something cause were getting depressed. So I ask if anyone could help out by donating anything to make a 1/14 truck so I can have a project with the missis and my boy they both wanna get a truck so we can haul dirt. We need a few trailer axles and wheels and tires also just cheep plastic leftovers anything we can piece together to get a truck and dump trailer going. Anything please? And if anyone thinks I am pulling a fast one I will post our over due power bill for the last 4 months and my check Stubbs that show all the no no ey I get. And even if we can't come up with rent like I this k we can't I'll show the late notice. I just want a family project so we can be a family again and have something to do

Re: please consider!
Hey buddy myself and I am sure everyone on this forum can relate to your story in way or another. I am not trying to sound like a jerk or disrespectful to you in any way but seriously you are telling us this sad story and all you are concerned about is having people donate to your cause so you can build a truck really. I think that should be the last thing on your list also your spelling in your text is crazy I am no english major but I do have spell check. Like I said I am not picking on you but myself and I am sure alot of others here think you need to worry about your family and not a truck.....

I will risk being banished from this group, but this has every warning alarm going off in my SCAM alert system. If I'm wrong, so be it, but I'll say this, if you're in that much financial trouble, getting into a hobby that will cost you around $2000.00, by the time you get most of what you want, is the LAST thing you should be attempting, I think housing, feeding and clothing your family, is the FIRST thing you need to worry about, not an RC Semi Truck. That's my two cents. If I just broke the forums rules, I'm sorry, but I smell scam.

Re: please consider!
No scam here I'm sorry guys I haven't been able to buy anything for my excavator in a while and I said I sold my crawler just to but the hydro system from magom. My family is taken care of and I have been working really hard to do so. Believe me. But my girlfriend really wants a 1/14 semi and I really can't afford one and she's wanted it for a year now. Plus a nice ring I can't afford yet either. I was just wondering if anyone could donate some useless stock plastic parts so I can eventually put one together for her and my son. I don't understand why everyone's so mad. I was just asking if someone could help. If no one wants to help then o well I just asked

Re: please consider!
In a similar boat now, was in the middle of changing careers (going to college on my G.I. bill) when my dad started going downhill. Picked my family (wife who was pregnant with twins and three kids) up and moved home to be his caregiver. He passed now I'm working to pay the bills he n mom had cause she can't...
So I look at the stuff the other guys are doing until such time as I can build a rig or two of my own... They have plenty of cheap stock parts on eBay... I can see asking for technical assistance but for someone to give something for nothing?

If you and your family are homeless and can't come up with rent money, buying and building an excavator shouldn't be anywhere on your list of top 10 things to do to keep your family together. Check your priorities and spell check.

Locked? How about deleted....? this is the reason why this hobby is the way it is.... Its sad and unfortunate that a "grown" adult man needs to stoop to this level....I dont know about you guys but if I were in his "situation" the last thing on my wife's mind would be to build a TOY TRUCK....... what has this world come too????

For once I thought it would be good for the mods to not have to look like the bad guys.

Re: please consider!
mcCracken15, I think your priorities are wrong the hobby comes second to every thing in life especially bills and keeping a roof over you head,
If your dead set on a luxury item put some money away when you can that way when you have enough it will be satisfying. Also people want to know more about members when there asking for parts and being a contributing member here with posts will add to that trust instead of them thinking your just a scamer asking for free parts..... Cheers Tracy
