Fingers crossed you have an easy ride 🤞

Bought myself a Swatch for my Christmas present there might be a Wild Willy 2 on the way too.  

[Willy iine]

My older teen son drew me a Willy in a comical Mclaren Honda F1 car.   It is awesome. Going to get it printed and framed once my wife’s work area is up and running again.   My younger son drew me a shell casing. Not sure that that the heck that was.. lol   Haha

Shiiiiiiiiit, hope you're ok buddy?

I got my first 4 wheel drive RC car (well since my one and only childhood car that was the Hotshot II anyway)

It shall be subject to much bashing in 2022! 

[JeffSpicoli]

Selling some wheels from the Golf today, so I'll have an extra $500 floating around.....Might be time to grab that Willy.

[JeffSpicoli]

Found a way for Willy to spend that $2 grand:

Bought the son an Arrma Granite Voltage, a RTR Truck to keep up with me when I'm running my car.  I think it is slightly faster than mine, so in a couple months when he has learned to steer and out-drives me, I'll need to upgrade my motor...

[Mad Ax]

This is my Christmas Build.  The Trackstar combo was a Christmas gift from my wife (albeit I had to send her the link so she knew what to buy), the body and servo I bought for myself last month, the kit I bought using some money my wife repaid me out of her living wage subsidy, so technically she bought me that too

Started yesterday - build thread to follow soon!

[Wooders28]

A pair of DT03's (Neo Fighter & Racing Fighter, still undecided to keep one, and part out the other......🤔), a dual charger for me and my daughter (plus charging cables for her), a new chassis ,hubs ,gearbox casings for my DF03 (hopefully get some speed runs in this year, when the world calms down a bit, and I get some spare time!! 🤞) and a couple of pairs of wet weather astro tyres....

 

Did wonder how many Racing Fighters arrived, with the size of the box though...😳

 

 

[Badcrumble]

Get well soon @svenb.

I received some vouchers for Modelsport so I'll be picking up some bits in the New Year.

Cruel, cruel packing peeps there @Wooders28!!

I picked myself up one of those as well, will be building it this week at the in-laws, do you think that will be enough to keep me sane? Nah ******* it, better take some other stuff to tinker with as well!

[c64orinoco]

My wife got me the Super Avante, and suprised me with a nice little tool set, too!

[JeffSpicoli]

I've got that tool set, I use the pliars all the time - they take off nubs on plastic pieces nicely.   The screwdrivers are handy too.

Santa was really, really good this year.
