Here’s my “stay put” hobby.
RC cars/trucks/planes would be fun, but if I crash a beer, at least I don’t need to replace expensive equipment. Ingredients are fairly cheap.
Smoking equipment cuts into the brewing budget at times too.
But it’s all good. We all have things that we enjoy spending our hard earned cash on.

Heck, I’d buy one for my not steep slope yard. I’d probably enjoy mowing the lawn with that.
Lol yup! You could do it from a lounger!
No. But I've thought about it many times.
If it runs as fast as my scag cheetah! That would be fun and worth tearing the yard up.

There are 3 levels of craft brew hobbyist. The first is similar to most smoker/bbq hobbyists here, and looks like the first pic. The second is more rational, and looks like the second pic. The third is the low-end, but still very capable brewer, and looks like the third pic.
I represent the 3rd pic, and have been doing it since 2007, using a 15 cf chest freezer with external temp control for my fermentation/conditioning chamber. I used to do a fancy draft system, but now bottle off in 2 liter soda bottles.
This philosophy goes along with my single lp gas grill and single electric smoker.

It has 2 speeds, low speed for mowing is about 5 mph and hi speed is about 10mph for transportation …
I've wanted to try one of these for ages. Especially while I was in the service. I pulled the trigger, pun intended, on this one.

Sweet, going back about 15 years I had a collection of Traxxas T-Maxx trucks, 4x4 nitro, insane little things. Big enough to run right up a curb no issue, 55+ mph. Sometimes I regret giving it all to one of my nephews but that hobby cost more in time and money than smoking meat between upgrades, repairs, etc. Fun as can be though, I do miss it, this is a stock photo but I'll see if I can dig up some old photos.
Nice! Looks like a lot of fun!I've wanted to try one of these for ages. Especially while I was in the service. I pulled the trigger, pun intended, on this one.

I had a hard time deciding between the M1, M60, and M41.
I ordered the Red motor 390 upgrade for mine. Gives it more torque and speed. I'm more interested in more grunt than speed though.
Likewise, although upgrades are always good, and always a dangerous rabbit hole!
Hadn’t thought about my gas Associated MGT? truck in a while. Packed it up when I moved 5 years ago. I think I will get it out and see what it needs to be able to run it. I know it’s going to need a new receiver battery at a minimum. I used to race RC cars at club events once a month many years ago. I know from experience that it can be a big rabbit hole to go down when you are “upgrading” your vehicles. I recommend buying a “name brand” if you’re interested in buying one. Generally speaking more available parts and upgrades for them. If you’re running them you will need parts sooner or later and if you can’t find them you are out of luck. Thanks for enabling me today 
Ran the tank around for a bit before heading to the camp. This tank is way cool!
I agree, nice detail and the smoke function is far more impressive than I expected. Haven't insta the red upgrade motors yet but it's impressive right out of the box.
