RC Cars

I can't call that a waste, since I now know a hell of a lot more about electronics because of it. Then again, I only had 2 of them. A Kyosho Raider and then an Associated RC/10 graphite.
Apparently neither one of these cars exist anymore.

Amen. I remember being pretty surprised when my parents bought me my first Associated RC 10. (With an electronic speed control obv! The mechanical ones were for chumps.) But it was seriously one of the best things they did for me as far as education outside of school and getting me to hang out with other smart kids (Asians!) who had cars.
The motors/batteries/servos/etc. and other cars I bought on my own dime I don't consider a waste of money at all.
