The truck is too pretty. I had a 1965 Dodge carryall that looked some what like a chevy suburban. Ugliest vehicle on the road ever. I paid $200.00 US for it in 1976 and it was painted the same school bus yellow. Fenders were bent in so bad it could not be driven. I just cut the fenders out of the way with a cutting torch and drove it home. I had over $400.00 dollars of electronics in side the truck and never worried about it getting stolen. People would look at it and just pass it by if they were looking to steal anything. They figured a truck that ugly would have nothing but crap inside of it.

I have about 10 rc cars and trucks, some are nitro and most are electric with brushless motors. Don't have the photos of all of them like I thought I did,but the one I posted is big daddy. Goes anywhere, anytime lol.

Triple deuce,

Nice truck my friend. Those are like tanks! I've been involved in R/C's cars since 1985 and raced 10th scale off road, 12th scale road cars. Got into 1/8 nitro cars in 2000... Besides dirt bikes my father keep me busy with this hobby, which kept me out of trouble. LOL! THANKS DAD! I got rid of a lot of stuff over the years. I probably would still be driving my nitro car today if a temp at work wouldn't have dropped a pallet on my radio crushing it. It was an accident and I really wanted to dismember him, but I forgave him. He was stacking pallets to built a launch ramp for me.

Now, I fly electric 3 channel and 4 channel heli's. The 3 channels helis are for indoor only and the 4 channel is a monster a and is strictly outdoor, so rain or shine we as a family get or flight time in. Both of my girls have their own 3 channel heli's. :)

Now day's the addiction is RF and its BAD! Thanks for sharing the pictures triple deuce and 351.

When I was laid up from my last surgery, I bought 3 of those 3 channel Heli's. What a blast. I even bought all the small tools and what not to repair them. I built one my using parts from 2 other one's and lightened it way up, and then added a second battery to it to get more air time. Went from around 7 minutes to almost 15 minutes. I built one that was so light, it's super hard to control cuz it's like a hummingbird. That stuff is fun.

I really wanted to get a big Heli for outside, but then I got better, and went to the dark side of Ham/CB radio. Now I spend whatever I can on this junk. LOL!

Yes sir, I did the quad copter thing as well, I have an ar drone and a 1sq which is a palm sized quad copter, but it will fly outdoors like a champ. The ar drone is cool , in have a remote that plugs into my iPad and it looks like a ps2 controller. The ar drone is fun for video, but it's not a real good one. Before I got back into this I was going to get a DJI PHANTOM VISION. But the radio bug bit me and so the story goes lol.

Just don't hook a 1 1/2 year olds pacifier to the skids of a 3 channel and fly around the house with it dangling. After a few minutes you will find you heli batted out of the air with a sofa pillow! My youngest daughter didn't think it was funny. Lol!
