Some of you were curios what I would waste a $500.00 gift certificate on...Well here it is

Tamiya TXT kit
LRP waterproof esc
Hitec 645mg servo (I will add another one later)
Novak synthesized fm receiver
And a few odds and ends

This will be for my son and myself, we have talked about a waterproof 4x4 for a while now so that is the plan. Hopefully we will start on it this weekend. I'll try to take plenty of pics along the way.
 
Nice choice.

Can't go wrong with a Tamiya kit IMO.

Have fun with the build.
 
If the kit like other Tamiya kits use those crappy phillips head screws, you should conisder getting a upgraded screw kit for it that uses hex drivers.
 
Thats pretty cool it comes with a finished and clear body.. Very cool. Good choice man!! Have fun!
 
I seem to remember a guy on RCNT, that sold bearings & screws for all the different kits.... I think his name was like Fast Betty or sumthin...
 
Congrats on the new toy.

That is going to be some real quality time spent with the kid.

didn't he become a pole dancer full time though?
 
Finally open the box and got started. I was very impressed when I opened it, everything about it screams heavy duty....They even through in a full set of extra tranny gears.

yeah, that IS pretty darn beefy lookin... the chassis I mean
 
Sorry guys I got a little excited and finished without taking more pics. It runs and drives good but needs some tweaking, I'll update as I upgrade.
