Juggular 4964 Posted December 20, 2018 We RC folks tend to order our own surprises... So what is Santa bringing for good boys and girls? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted December 20, 2018 My wife is very good at picking up on my RC-related hints, so I am anticipating a M-07 Concept chassis kit. There is a suitably-sized box under the tree... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grastens 2795 Posted December 20, 2018 As in "The Postman Brought Me" thread, I was really expecting this to arrive in 2019, but I guess its early delivery means Merry Christmas to me! 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadInventor 3884 Posted December 20, 2018 A fortnight of fun with my son, getting to see him enjoying opening his presents, which is far more priceless than anything that comes in a box for me. Besides, I've got a hotshot, a TXT-1, and a War Rig to run, so I'm happy with what I've got 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobgoblin 1059 Posted December 20, 2018 For myself? Nothing I know of, all spare cash went on the wife and family. However in a blizzare "pigs might fly" act of generosity my works bought myself and my supervisor a couple of hobbyking SCT kits in the sales. Probably to use as leverage for overtime in the new year! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted December 20, 2018 An Agrios TXT-2! Though it is for me and the boy. And Mrs BC has always liked monster trucks so it might end up being hers. More likely if I don’t get her Mini finished... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_B 997 Posted December 20, 2018 Seeing as it arrived yesterday, I guess my Chrimbo present to myself is a Super Astute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After a very very long stint at work I decided to treat myself and was going to go for the astute but thought I'd give myself a bit more of a build challenge so I went for the topcat👍 I'm also hoping for some fresh new bits for my dremel off Santa😉😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markbt73 5316 Posted December 20, 2018 Nothing; we're on a pretty tight budget this year, so we're skipping the gifts and just cooking/baking some yummy stuff. But I get the whole week off next week, which is gift enough. But my birthday is 2 weeks after Xmas, and I've already dropped some hints... I have a whole wish list of little stuff from RPP Hobby. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted December 21, 2018 Lego X-Wing and Sand Speeder from my lovely wife. I caved and ordered a Super Astute for myself. If it makes it here, it will be the first time I've smelled a fresh kit (tires and all) in some time now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4607 Posted December 21, 2018 A dremel for me. One of those things that I always meant to buy and have needed a thousand times so finally got one. I hinted that I need a Top Force and Super Astute but that was met with eyerolls and my wife telling my friend that I have more cars than I could ever need and no more are allowed into the house. She hasn't said anything about how many boats (or planes!) I'm allowed and has enabled me by getting me a dremel... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Re-Bugged 10155 Posted December 21, 2018 At this stage judging by shape under the tree, a metre long Toblerone again. Only just finished last years. Still rather that than Pants, socks & Lynx ‘gift’ set 😂 But I did get a nice eVoucher from work for 5 years service. Although it’s for a Supermarket, Supermarkets sell all sorts of other more appropriate gift cards that can be used at Hobby Shops or eBay 😃. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Santa will bring you a shed, that will fix that problem 👍🏻 Dont forget the shelving too. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted December 21, 2018 I asked Santa (my wife) for: a few different 3D printer filaments, including flexible filament to try making some tires a desktop vinyl/fabric cutter for making paint masks and decals, and also cutting fabric for my wife's quilting a few rolls of solder in different diameters to replace my almost-gone roll of 30 years I avoided new kits as there's plenty in the queue already. The big gift this year was a snow blower to save my back from the heavy wet snow we get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That looks like my Turnigy 2wd SCT Kit.. aka Traxxas Slash killer,, great budget RC For me, nothing RC related but I’ve splurged enough this year so it’s nice to down tools a bit and spend on family this time of year too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobgoblin 1059 Posted December 21, 2018 It is indeed! Quite a cool truck, despite being massive. It went together really well considering the price. Instructions weren't a patch on Tamiya, which lead to some head scratching! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
