RCTalk Showin' Some Love - Yet Again!

[WickedFog]

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.

You DESERVE THIS THING brother. Lonnnnnng overdue. You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.

 

[JustnWynn]

Say whaaaaaaaat??.... wow. Just. Wow.
Well deserved obi-wan

 

[DavidB1126]

You deserved it!
This will be one of the Best RCs you have!

 

[DavidB1126]

When I was watching and you said Gool RC I said no way he'll run those!

Yea tekin rx8 is pretty nice and there motors too. Back in the day probably like you heard before my uncle ran 4.5t Novak motors which they say 5000kv I'm pretty sure on the box so the tekin 4300 (not overkill at all) will be perfect. Assuming if your just running 2s. You'll probably have to gear down a bit depending what T pinion you have. My uncle was saying SCTEs at the time were lighter than the tekno 410.3 but not sure how the 2.0 compares. Probably a bit lighter since it's more modern, but still has 1/8 style components.

Enjoy the build! I'll look forward too it!

Don't you have a vintage Losi SCT to work on?

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

Absolutely well deserved our friend!

 

[Littlemotor]

I wanna seriously thank all of the members who came together to make this happen. This would not have been possible without each, and every one of YOU GUYS.

Also, a huge thanks to @Lostinthewoods86 & @FRC Pete !!!! You guys are absolutely TREMENDOUS.

So proud to call you guys my brothers (and sisters @OnwardGuinevere ), and RCTalk my home. Big thanks to @WoodiE for putting up with this group of derelicts, and for all the generosity. @Doom! too for helping out behind the scenes, and keeping us idiots in line!!

Congrats!! You are gonna LOVE it! My Tekno is my favorite rig!! The difference in quality and the smoothness of how it runs compared to other rigs is crazy. Have fun!!!

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?

And you my friend need to take a long look in the mirror at the ugly mug that brought it all together

I know nothing!!!

 

[Lukedavis]

Well deserved @WickedFog! Enjoy the new truck!

 

[Lukedavis]

Next time a care package is getting sent out, someone let me know and I'll try to help out!

 

[Mister 4x4]

Well, that didn't last long. What gives with just the hands and the box?! I wanted to see some tears!! Squeeze 'em out, Punk! LOL!!

Let's just leave it at, "if you start banning members, you'd only be left with your favorite 'blaster and a few malingerers."

 

[Tunedfrog]

@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.

 

[luke66]

and no, I'm far too broke to have anything to do with it

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

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

Enjoy!
