I've been eyeballing these kits for awhile and finally picked it up with the electronics. Orlandoo-Hunter 1/32 scale semi...

And aparently the ofer was accepted on a Kyosho TF car too!
This is my first Kyosho on-road car and is likely to be the first one I'll ever actually run.
My Tamiya F1 Lotus car has seen the ground 3 times since I bought it and none was track time.
I don't know of I'll actually like on road but I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy an "on road Optima".
I hope its as nice as it looked in the pics!

I bought 1 Optima Mid to actually restore/race and its turned into a Kyosho resto studio over here! My Hot Trick Optima Ram is likely going to get finished after 30 years! I have a GP1 chassis that I just bought too. (I got the nitro mostly just so @Littlemotor would stop picking on me! )
I might have to invest in a camera for this mess!

That was NO rabbit and this is a real, time warping BLACK HOLE that my R/C addiction has fallen into!

I feel like CarolAnne in Poltergeist right now...

"Mommy???"

Cool stuff if you enjoy it @Warby! The kit says it's an R650, must be similar...

I wouldn't say I enjoy working on them but I get paid so

So at least for now, the money is better than the time off??? Thats good!

It's been hard getting back into work mode. I'm not enjoying work atm.

Hopefully the next check will ease those pains some. Its not easy to get back to "work mode" sometimes!
It happens to me sometimes when I take a lemonade break from mowing! Actual work is WAY harder!

I'm gonna buy a cam so I can record Certified Gymnastics...
Its sort of like the Special Olympics except I get scores on speed, syle and height when I hurdle the couch before she can catch me after I tell her about the TF chassis I just bought!
You all might be witnesses!

Pro Tip: keep a hand full of jacks in your pocket, so you can toss them behind you to slow her down.

Potentiometer x4 and tone capacitor for the green Les Paul.
However, I use Orange Drop .047 tone capacitors because they
are a bit darker, muddier sound.

Spoken like a true pro!

 

[Tunedfrog]

I use Telecaster knobs on most of my guitars. These are also going on the green Les Paul.
Eventually I'll add a gold bridge and tail piece.

Here's the one I was working on tonight. It's definitely not a pretty shelf queen as it's been on mine sites it's whole life.

I just ordered this for my son for Christmas

He wants a 1/10 crawler too and he likes Landcruisers. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

It's the RGT EX86020 Intruder

I ordered the silver one but the red looks good too. Hope he likes it. If he doesn't, I will
