RCTalk Showin' Some Love - Yet Again!

[CertifiedMike]

Nice truck!!!
Pics or it didn't happen tho!
"Oooooohhh these are the nice ones" def made me laugh, almost made me cry.
I can't think of anyone here more deserving of this! Enjoy!

So today started off as usual... bored out of my mind, waiting on funds to buy parts to work on a couple builds. I decided to go play with some 3d modeling on the old electric think box. After a couple hours in various stages, I'm all broken, so I go back to my recliner to recuperate. As soon as I get all snuggled in under my security blanket, some jackass knocks on my door.

So I get back up and shuffle to the door. When I open it I see a UPS guy who just turned to walk back to his truck with a package. He hears me and comes back to hand me a box from @FRC Pete over at fiercercsolutions.com.

I know I have a small package coming, but not from there. So WTF? It was heavy, and immediately I was confused.

Upon opening the box, I literally damn near had a freakin' heart attack. You heathens almost sent me to an early grave. I was quickly in tears over the generosity of this forum. I don't know who all was involved in this, but y'all are the most amazing group of RC nerds on the planet, and I wanna say thank you guys from the bottom of my fat, congested heart!

I wanted to make a video for you guys, so here you go.

 

[ferrebee88]

Enjoy the build! I hope it brings you many smiles!

 

[WickedFog]

@WickedFog woohoo! Have fun with it! and post lots of pics of the build!

Enjoy!

I sure will. I am chomping at the bit to go start wrenching on it. I might just do that here in a few. It's killing me that it's sitting in there in the box.

What are your plans for it?

 

[Doom!]

Well now I am just angry, here a bunch of guys get together and send you an awesome kit, and your dumb ass opens it! Now it's collectible value just went in the toilet, I guess at this point you might just as well build it. SHEESH!

Seriously dude, your generosity to others and the knowledge you share here have made you more than deserving of a pleasant surprise, I hope you feel the way I did when I got my surprise.

 

[WickedFog]

@WickedFog AKA Kev, nobody in here deserves this more than you. You have gone above and beyond to make this forum what it is.
I am super proud to call you my friend and I hope you enjoy your gift from all us convicts.
P.S. I wanted to send you a blow up doll wearing a dress and an invite from our good buddy that you shipped down the road to a
senior citizens prom but the insane jealousy from the rest of these freaks was overwhelming so I didn't.

I appeciate it man. I remember first joining here and you were one of the guys that made the forum fun to come back to.

But I'm kinda bummed I didn't get the blow up doll

Sorry we couldn't get something better... but we knew you'd make do.

 

[WoodiE]

I look forward to seeing you over at https://www.teknoforums.com a bit more now.

Looking forward to seeing the build my friend!

LOL I'll send you one, but don't tell the others.

 

[9x19]

Yeah... I did

That one is tied up, waiting on me to order a few more necessary things. Winter time completely drains my funding when the light bill goes up by $200+/month. I fear next month will be even higher.

You guys going to tell me who all was involved in this care package? Or do I have to start banning people?

I know...

that Littlemotor knows...

where it comes and where it goes.

How about this one?

Dream on!

 

[332_RC]

Cool. Great looking RC! I know nothing- hehe..

 

[Willy0942]

Well deserved, you guys are the greatest forum, he is the man and now he knows.
Have fun the almighty Wicked one

You still need liquid mask?

 

[Chubaka]

Frog man really fell in love and it will never be sanitary again

I agree. Congrats @WickedFog you deserve it.

Well Woodrow, I was telling @Littlemotor we need to go wake that place up. But I'm going to have to go premium on that one because OMG... the ads kill it for me. It might be fine on my PC, but on my phone I can't even see the forum, and thats what I'm on 99.9% of the time. Check this out

That's the full screen

LOL I'll send you one, but don't tell the others.

Just make sure it's a redhead, but /me ponders how I'm going to hide that from the kiddo

Onto the kit, I was going to tuck it away til I order the electronics in a few weeks, but I couldn't wait. And as has been mentioned - I haven't seen a better manual. I pulled the first bag out and opened Bag A and built the center diff. It's pretty darned unbelievable how much better this Tekno stuff is compared to other kits I've built. It looks like this center diff, albeit a plastic gear, would be more than enough for a 5th scale. Everything from the outdrives, the precision ground sun gears, to the way the screws feel going into the diff housing is just amazing

So there I was on eBay... when I find this SCT Kit, new in the box with all these upgrades... with free shipping from IN.

Just kidding...
