Extreme Newbie question

[Tunedfrog]

It's a great looking rig, she will love it.
You would be surprised at how many RCs my wife owns.

Had to buy her one of these to get her to come ride with me, it's nicer than mine of course. But if it gets her out it's worth it, same with the truck, if it works better she'll have more fun.

My wife is the same way. She is 7 years older than me so she is slowing down a bit but then again I definitely am also.
We have two Polaris Sportsman 500s.

If you guys don't hear from me for a while you'll know she wasn't very receptive of her gift and I'm recovering in the hospital.
Seriously though, if she's going to come out with me I want something that's going to work right for her. And if what she's driving actually performs better than what I have she might have more fun.

Sound reasoning

 

[freedomflyer]

Age is not for the faint of heart that's for sure we are both slowing down some ourselves. The four wheeling is something we both enjoy so hopefully she'll get a bit of the crawling bug and we can take them to some of the great spots we
See when we are out with the four wheelers. This has been a very slow warm up this year. Had a heavy rain storm move in this afternoon when the clouds lifted this evening the top 1000 feet of the mountains had snow. Is 45 degrees currently at midnight. Hope to get out soon and looking forward ro working on this Sport.

Well, been a busy last 8 days, my wife and I set up our summer business of selling fireworks. This is our 27th year, pretty hard to believe. Started in 96 to help with tuition to send our kids to a private school. They are long done with school and here we are still plugging along. Not sure for how much longer, age is sure starting to play a factor. Money has been nice for a few extra things here and there. Thought I'd share a few pics.

Well got the wife's truck finished Tuesday night. Have not presented it to her yet but it is ready. Fusion motor, Holmes Hobbies direct power servo, added rock lights, Hyrax G8's, 3 D printed inserts, Beadlocks trying to decide about winch but ready to run.

My buddy just got another pallet of rocks today to add to his course.

He has an open invite for people to come every Thursday evening spring, summer, fall, and winter. Winter they pile the snow and crawlnthe piles.

Awesome! How in the heck do you move those?

 

[freedomflyer]

I don't know how they got the big ones in there, that was long before I was even thinking of doing the crawling aspect of the hobby. But it is a great course, pretty challenging for my Defender, a ton of tip points for the high body on that thing. Pretty fun though, very scale for my truck. Higher performance trucks don't struggle so much.

Gave my wife her truck, she seems genuinely excited about it. Will be fun to get out and see how she does.

 

[freedomflyer]

First test run around the house. She actually did pretty well.

Sorry, to hear. I know you were really hoping she would just rolled her eyes and gave it back to you.

Just glad she didn't get mad. She gets a little mixed up on her turning but other than that did well. The Fusion is a perfect set up for her. Nice slow even power.

Well my buddies boss bought him 7 pallets of rocks, 14 tons, he just got it to his back yard and is going to add on to the course up above.

 

[Xraycer]

This course just got  epic!

 

[Tunedfrog]

That looks awesome.

 

[Doom!]

That looks like a Hernia in the making, Awesome!
