TrueBlue 42 Posted December 25, 2020 I didn't get this ON Christmas, but I did get it FOR Christmas. A few weeks ago as a rather early Christmas present. I've only used it about twice so far. Got a 2S battery and charger with it... 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJoe76 432 Posted December 25, 2020 Nothing yet, we were going to have my Sister over either Husband and the 14m/o daughter, but his Dad caught the Corona virus and gave it to them (not sure on my Niece yet though) then my BiL’s Mom and Sister, some how her Husband has come back negative so far! Probably going to be doing the gift thing after New Years instead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 4421 Posted December 25, 2020 Nothing RC-related, but I did buy myself a Bigwig back in November when Tower had them on sale. And my birthday is in two weeks, and I put in a request for a King Yellow... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 3599 Posted December 25, 2020 I didn’t get anything RC-related given to me but I did gift the (unfinished) project that has kept me away from RC the past month or so. I was so close to getting it done! A few more nights to finish it are needed - upper windowsill, upstairs chimney to hide the wiring, some detailing and add some snow. And the wiring needs shortening so the roof sits flat! And I need to finish the non-identical twin for my Mum. Fortunately, tier 4 takes the pressure off that. I shouldn’t forget the SCX10iii I gifted myself that is in the garage... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1830 Posted December 26, 2020 It’s not something I got but I bought a Team Associated Enduro 24 for my neighbors son who just turned 8. I think he is going to dig it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferruz 8444 Posted December 26, 2020 Nice gifts guys! We were a bit tight on the dough this year so no RC stuff for me, we went for mutual functional gifts (a coat for her and a pair of boots for me, as mine had less thread left than the rear wheels of an original '80s Hornet). My own gift to myself is finding the time to finish my Terra Scorcher build. Hopefully next days, though I wish I got some polycarbonate body cleaner before the shops locked down 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c64orinoco 646 Posted December 26, 2020 My wife has pre-ordered the Fighting Buggy for me, so I'll get that sometime in February I think. The only physical part of the gift was a servo, receiver, speed controller and a ball diff for it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
