On the contrary i try to report my RC bills to wife at 50% lower than purchased price to avoid heavy tax.
The only bill that was passed at presence of wife was when we went to Rotor Hobby to buy my 1st heli, total cost of more than $600.
The people were happy. It was a tax free day.
Btw im past 40 age... Still plays...probably until old.
Cars, trucks, boats, planes, heli... Uncountables.I'm Remotely Controlled ...

I'm way over 40..The guilt feeling i have is the fact that the guys that says these are toys are actually envious of us "playing"..
Even when my teenage son asks me about RC cars i tell him theres' a TOY standard and RC Standard..
I just picked up RC Buggying too 1/8 nitro way to go..
as usual only 2 person cant convince them..Wife and Mother..In The Hangar

this not a problem in hongkong

Sometimes kids will be the one watching at us play which by right they should be playing them instead. I felt awkward at times and a bit "paiseh" in the public.
As I am in my late thirties, how does the public eye really sees us when they see an adult playing an RC car? Will they think we are childish? Kiddish? Not grown up? Or is it just me being too self conscious.....? Please help advise as need to get this out of my system

This reminds me of a relatable conversation between Will Ferrell and his son in The Lego Movie whereby he has his Lego toys and not wanting his son touching it. I find it pretty amusing.
Kid:"But I was just playing--"
Will Ferrell:"I know it's hard to understand but this is Dad's stuff, okay? All of this that you see before you is all your father's..."
Will Ferrell:"You know the rules. This isn't a toy."
Kid:"Um, well, it kind of is."
Will Ferrell:"No...,actually, it's a highly sophisticated interlocking brick system."
Kid:"But we bought it at the toy store!"
Will Ferrell:" We did. But the way I'm using it makes it an adult thing."
Kid:"The box for this one said ages 8 to 14."
Will Ferrell:"That's a suggestion. They have to put that on there."

The dark truth... All toys are really meant for grown ups !
They had to deceive the general public that they are suitable for kids age " X to Z " to gain more market share,
And those toys that says "Not suitable for ages X and below" ?
Well, these are just taunting teaser to tease these kids below X age to buy.
Its a curiosity thing in kids.. If you're not allowed, the more you want to try it.
In both cases, its a win win win case. Dad wins, kids wins, the toy makers win. LOLI'm Remotely Controlled ...
