| Oh yeah! Look at what I stumbled on today!
Actually my boss brought it in to work today. He saw my Wraith and said he had a cool rc he liked to play with at home. I told him to bring it in and we could run them around. So he shows up with this New Bright Jeep. Turns out it is his kids, its broken and he wants me to fix it for him. Ha, figures. So I took it apart and found the motor siezed solid. Judging from the rust and hard water stains inside, they found the puddles and had some fun till it stopped running. So I told him it wasn't fixable and that he should look into something more hobby than toy. So I asked if I could keep the body. From a quick look at this thing, I can make it fit the Wraith!!!! This is gonna cool. Like I don't have enough projects going right now. Looks like I may have to bump the bathroom reno to do this. Anyone have a plan to get this past my wife? She wants the bathroom done and I am running out of excuses. |
