What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

I race RC cars.

Seems simple enough but there’s always follow up questions that inevitably take the conversation from interesting to ‘in the weeds’.

Just finished building a TT02 for my kid and one for myself; so fun! We are waiting for our local track to reconfigure from buggy jumps to touring car flat track.

That’s rad!

The club I help run is a Tamiya sponsored club and we host the PNW regionals every year. My first car that I raced was a TT02, and everything I race these days is tamiya because the other ROAR clubs are a bit more intense than I want to participate in.

My latest build was the new BBX which I won at regionals this year 3 weeks before it released. It’s a rad little buggy!

I fly FPV quads.

That’s fuckin rad. I thought about monkey branching into that, but then I realized it’s a 100% different hobby with almost zero crossover with racing RC cars, which put it right out of budget for me. Looks like a blast though.
