Unwinding From A Bad Day At Work.....

[knotty]

My way of unwinding, now that the nights are getting lighter and before the garden gets set for the summer involves several 3 foot high flower beds, a stepped lawn and abusing a clodbuster.But its left me with a question, How on earth do you kill a clodbuster? For the third night in a row i have just ABUSED the truck in the back garden,jumping off one lawn, three feet down to the next and the thing just rolls a few times or hits the washing post head on and just gets up and goes again!! With the two sport tuneds in its not exactly slow either for a big truck.Great fun and beats coming in stressed!!

Its the massive semi pneumatic tyres that are so soft they absorb so much of impact very little shock is transfered to the actual truck. Pad those out or change for harder ones and you would see some more devastating results.

You should build a pond.

Come to think of it though, that won't kill it either

[lee172]

ramp it off your house roof! and remember to duck...

[knotty]

I have actually just noticed one of the back tyres has now got a split in it.new ones on the way...

I do like to come home and tinker with my workbench when the nipper's gone to bed. Something to be said about completing part of a build/project, no matter how small. Feels like an achievement amongst the melee that is the daily grind.

I totaly agree with you . Also unwinding is, to come home and find a hardly expected packet from anywere in the world. Then creep to the hobby room and put the treasure on the right place

I came home early tuesday ,stuck a freshly charged pack into my newly built from spares Wild One / sport tuned runner ,and away it went , donuts - the lot !! great stress reliever

Just come back in from a quick 30 minutes flying session using one of my gliders off the sand dunes about 100m from my house.

Its amazing what a lightweight RC glider (7oz all up weight) can do with a small amount of lift coming up the 25ft high sand dunes with the gentle wind blowing in ytour face, thats stress relief for you! (apart from the dog 30ft below trying to catch the plane but thats saved me walking her later LMAO)

Cheers

The most therapeutic thing I do after a days grind at the shop is to water my garden...............Yup not run a car or truck but to take the hose and start to water my plants. It is a weird but wonderful way that I have of getting rid of stress. I think the garden and plants just has the desired effect.

Oh and before I forget Phil!!! Stop abusing that poor Clod!!!

[SteelRat]

I can certainly empathaise with RC based therapy, and a couple of hours tinkering with the latest project, or even an afternoons repairs after a bash is often certainly as satisfying as running the cars themselves.. if for no other reason, weather isn't an issue and you haven't gotta drive anywhere to do it

Grab a cold one from the fridge, stick some Motley, ACDC or DragonForce on and tinker away to my hearts content. Few things are better for the soul

Anyone knows this situation ? I tell my girls ( 32 and 7 years young ) " Daddy goes to cellar for a hour to stare a project " Girls: " You mean to tinker on you projekt ?" Daddy:" No ! Just stare my project " Result >>> lack of understanding . Each time

I thought you would have broken bucket loads of B2's and B11's jumping ot off a 3 foot drop Knotty!

I got home from work yesterday (Fri Evening), grabbed the highlift and a spare battery, and went across the road to a new subdivision where they are earthmoving a lot of soil and bashed 'til the sun went down! I had so much fun, great stress reliever
