| It's like I have ADD. I see something new and I buy it.
My 4th new truck of the year and third kit. I have a Mamba X and Slate 2280KV motor ready to go. I'm not sure about the wheels and tires yet, but I have a 1946 ProLine Power Wagon body just waiting for paint. |

Good news. You don’t have ADD. Bad news, like me you’re an addict. Sounds like both our families need to hold an intervention. In the last 6 months... Demon SP4, Gmade BOM, UMG10, new hard body and metal cage on my 10.2. Upgrades to Redcat Gen 8. And only reason I got the RTR Gen 8 was cause I was out of state in Boise for a week for work and saw a great place to crawl. So had to go to a hobby shop and get something to drive. Just like any drug, this damn hobby is sending me to the poor house Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If there has to be an addiction in your life, let it be like this. It hurts no one and makes you happy. RC has been a passion of mine for nearly three decades. Another of mine is known as “Black rifle disease!”. Talk about going bankrupt, lol! |

ADD diagnosis confirmed. I have had the kit since Monday and have found everything else under the sun besides build. I don't regret the hiking, fishing, beer brewing and putt putt playing with my kids, but I do wish there were more hours in the day sometimes. I got the chassis assembled and as I was already starting to play with my 46 Power Wagon body, I decided that it needed a truggy cage instead of a bed. I was looking around and didn't see any cages that really looked good with that narrow body and inspiration struck me. I yanked the 66 C10 cab and cage off of my Trail Honcho and with the help of some longer body posts left over from my VS4-10 build I was able to find a body that I think fits my purposes. This will now be the second kit that I intended to put the Power Wagon body on and abandoned it in favor of something else. The good news is that my SCX10ii needs a body and I know it will fit perfectly. 6 days in and this is all of the building that I have actually gotten around to doing. This is the body mocked up. I'll run this initially, bit I'm already thinking about picking up a new C10 cab and painting it up. |

Well, the body from my Honcho didn't line up as well as I had hoped once I got everything assembled. On to plan B. |

Body post holes making alignment off? It looks like it just needs to move forward just a tad. Really like the 66 c10. Plan B a new clear 66 c10? |
