Two Hobbies

My other hobby ( time permitting) is playing around with RC Cars & Trucks.
It also appears my other hobby, likes to go along for the ride
This truck (nitro engine) will max out at around 53 kph.
As you can see, the independant suspension is pretty wicked also

This is the Rolex box from the 16610. The other three wheels still firmly planted on the ground.

After a bit of 4 wheeling, the guys are just hanging around.


When the feel like a bit or 4x4 rally driving, they get there fill also. This is battery powered, max only around 28 kph

LOL - takes the term "Monster Truck" to new heights. In miniature, of course.

Looks cool John!! My nephew in Seattle has about four of those bad boys. Last time we were there he was scared to let me try it for fear of me ruining it, LOL!

And JJ, SHAWT UP already, you notice that Rolex is lonely and has bracelet stretch from the winder it lives on.

Hey John, maybe you could send that car via Canada Post to Craig. I'm guessing it's about his size, and he can use it as personal transportation while his 'Stang is getting worked on.
