Default I've got WAY too many projects to do...

Like the title says, It almost seems that I can't get one project completely done before starting another.

I'm currently working on a new clod chassis (not a stick, nothing too radical), but it will have a few custom touches. It's about 95% done, I'm just waiting on some aesthetic touches and tires to arrive. (I'm practically dying here to show of the new pleazer body on it, but promised myself I wouldn't until it's actually finished).

Since I've traded off Stein Hünd, the shafty bug has bitten again...HARD!

I did a bit of horse trading today and got my hands on a NIB TXT-1, old-style (narrow) emaxx (complete), some Mad Force axles and wheel adaptors, some revo shocks, and a 'pede tranny....

It looks like a rc factory exploded in my spare bedroom... ...as if it wasn't bad enough already.

I've never had a new Tamiya product before now...didn't know the damn thing comes in a million pieces Oh well, it's almost a shame with all this new plastic; since I'm only keeping the axles, side plates, tranny, clear body, wheels and tires.

Hopefully, I can get them done in a timely manner, especially the TXT. Now to find three super roosters, 6 more servos, shocks, etc..............

Its because a truck is never done. You get the truck exactly the way you want it and in a week, you want more and its torn down again.

My cars are a in a perpetual state of change. Always tweaking always searching.

I say you hold off one of those projects and wait for the World Crawler build off.

I'm not exactly sure what I'll do. I couldn't wait on the TXT...already started modifying it and makin' some new schtuff for it. I think the mad force axles are going on a tuber, and I'm not sure about the maxx yet (still got that one rolling around in my head about what to do with it).

As far as the crawler build-off goes, I'll just have to wait until it gets closer. It's hard to imagine what I'll be building in two months If the timing is right, and I have something in mind, then I'll enter. I'm a procrastinator by nature, but can't sit still for that long when I've got too many ideas...

I would, but I've since been "forced" to clean it up... I kept the essential parts from the TXT kit, then gave the rest of the contents to a guy at the LHS. I took the shocks and a pr. of shafts out of the Revo, and gave it back to the owner. I'm slowly organizing it all into piles and moving them down to the shop...

Thanks for the offer, but I want to use the narrow ones to try and tame the track width a bit.
