Mrs. Wrench's New RC Ride

[WrenchHead]

Hey All; So we added a new rig to the fleet not to long ago. Here is how it all came about. So a forum was having a Fund Raiser for the Troops in the War zones and did a support the troops Sticker drive. Buy some decals/stickers and you get an entry into a raffle for some way kool donated prizes. Everything from a dual brushless Clod to a kustom snow plow. So I purchased some decal to help support the troops never expecting to win anything just to do a good deed. So after the drive is up and the drawing was done I get an email asking for my shipping addess and letting me know I will need to pay the shipping costs. So I asked what did I win???? Turns out I won a Kustom PTI Goliath MT 1/10 conversion complete RTR with a 2cell Lipo Battery and a Tactic 2.4ghz radio setup. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No Way................... Yes you won.
So onto the next part of the story. My lovely wife has always been my biggest supporter of my hobby and even buys me Hobby gifts for B-days and holidays so I feel so blessed. Well every once in a while she will ask to play with my RC's and I proceed to tell her home much $$$ I have into them and time and effort and hours of building and customizing them. So guilt,guilt,guilt she usually walks away saying it is all good and sometimes when I am testing stuff in the driveway I'll let her run the sticks so I can score some video and pics. Well as a surprise I decided to prep this rig with a 2 cell Lipo cut-off and a 55 turn crawler motor and a gearing change and give it to my wife for her first RC car ever. It is all hers to run and wreck if she likes. And mine to fix and modify to her likings.lol I still get the workload.Funtimes ahead I can see.Should be plenty knowing woman drivers.lol So here are the pics of the rig I gave to her. Enjoy.L8R,Wrench.

another great addition to the family wrench.

glad to hear ms. wrench has one to toy around with now. how`s she liking it so far?

[WrenchHead]

So far she is real happy with it. She is still learning to drive it. But she is working on it. I just showed her how to charge the Lipo. Also came home from work last week and she was doing figure 8's in the driveway gettting used to the new radio. Will see if I can get some vid of her squeazing some trigger.

It is all good. It was a rig I won in a raffle anyways. So I didn't create it and pour large amounts of time and $$ into it. I have a Roll Bar set and some BillsCustomRClighting.com LEDs for a surprise for her.Also CowRC sent her a set of CowGirly decals.Thanks Heath she was so happy to have them addressed to her.
