Default Anyone else excited for new rigs/ gear for Christmas?

My fiancee bought me an axial yeti for Christmas. The box is just waiting to be opened haha. I can't wait to get my hands on that thing and bash it!

Yeah man! I have hidden away my Barrage kit as well as my son's Amp MT kit, can't wait to wrap them, unwrap them, and then get into building 'em together. I wonder which one we should do first...

I think I’ve got an RC4WD Cruiser body hidden away somewhere.

I put the Tamiya Team Reinert Racing MAN TGS - TT-01 Type E first on my Christmas list. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend ordered it last night.

First order of the saeson, install keylogger on GF / wifes computer

Myself i am sadly unable to gift myself something this year, so i will pretend the SCX 10 II i got a little while back are my X mas gift
And the power wagon body i will get for it a bonus cuz i have been such a good boy this year its just karma that have been so cruel to me yet again due to evil deeds in the past, and unholy thoughts every time i am so unfortunate to see a politician on TV.

I wish one good cancel out 2 bad, but i am afraid its the other way around.

I know that I scored a Gelande II Defender 90 this weekend. I really wanted the Marlin Crawler but it is out of stock for the next few weeks due to *Chinese Holiday. *Per the couple of RC shops I hit up in Vegas.

This is my first hardbody kit. I am excited. Wife says I can't touch it until Christmas. Little does she know that I already pulled everything out of the box to check it out. I did put it all back except for the axles.

Everyone has been talking about those barrage kits! It must be a nice little truck! Definitely need to look into one of those...

I'm thinking of converting my slash into a trophy truck. I've heard the yeti score is pretty sweet!

I set a Proline Yeti Raptor TT body, 2 cans of Tamiya paint, and 2 pairs of Proline 5.4"/1.9" Boggers on the counter at the hobby shop a couple weeks ago. My wife bought all of it, then "hid" it from me when we got home. There "might" be a Hobbywing WP1080 ESC, S600 motor, 1.9" RC4WD Proline compatible rings, SSD AR60 D60 front diff cover, and RPM Baja Rey front bumper in my stocking too. She already gave me a Dahu torsion chassis as an "early Christmas present." I'm really looking forward to my 4 year old getting his new Redcat Gen7 that we bought him for Christmas.

Everything I read about it leads me to believe it will be a great intro to crawling, and I'm looking forward to building it. I will defo post all about it on these great pages.

Merry Christmas!

Bought a 2001 Tamiya TA04S unassembled kit in the first of December for less the $80 with free shipping , it shipped on the 4th, and got it on Thursday of last week and today

I test drove it with a 13 turn brushed motor and 60 amp brushed Esc with a 2S Lipo and I like the torque it has, as you come out on the corner

And nailed it will slide a little under acceleration, maybe its cause its belt driven

Update: More gear coming on Santa's sleigh! The Barrage will get a HW 1080 ESC and donate its Dynamite 60A ESC to the Amp so we don't have to use that 2-in-1 ESC/RX unit that comes with the Amp.

My mom bought me an SCX10 II, she let me see the box, but then quickly took it home to her house, cause I snoop around.


Christmas Gift to me from me.
Bought myself a 3” lift kit, and 4 Goodyear duratracs (315/70/17) for one of my pickup trucks (2001 Ford F-150). Once I get everything installed my ford will have bigger tires than the dodge. I figured I already added enough goodies to my 3/4 ton Dodge so the 1/2 ton Ford got some attention this time around. I wish it had enough dough to work on my chevy, it’s dropped.

I’ve been saving for the Ford since the end of August. The Dodge got its goodies cause I did ok working in camp last winter. The chevy has been my project for the last 4-5 years, I just want it to become the truck that I take to the drag strip.
