Nice purchase.

Oh... your avatar dude. You have the X-Maxx with the monster truck wheels I keep seeing in the media gallery. I would love to see a breakdown of what all you have done to that. Like do a build showcase on it. That is one of the coolest looking X-Maxx's I've seen.

Well I need to go through it and try and refresh my memory on the X-maxx Losi tire upgrade.
I put that build together back in 2017, 2018. The body is Snap-on edition. All black with ghosted flames.

With the Losi wheels I remember they were gray and I had to learn how to dye them black.
There were some adapter bits and such and it was still having issues keeping the wheels on, I am not 100% sure if I fixed that problem or not.
It’s been many years since I ran that truck.
It is currently in garage on the list to get back up and going and figure out where I left off with it.

There were several videos out there showing how to make the adaptation work.

With all the big air sends my daughter does with her Tekno the chassis is becoming rubbery. I got a complete set of M2C center braces for her truck.

Bought it Friday, ran it Saturday…for the cost, can’t beat it IMO.

I bought these for a monstered out Slash. I want more droop than I can get with GTR shocks. Some experiments are winners and some aren't, we'll find out.

Got a few things in today.
A couple new crawlers.
Traxxas TRX Bronco 1/10 scale and TRX Bronco M 1/18 scale and a new Max wide track.

8 of these stupid things in black.

I bought a new Troy-Bilt mower. On sale for $389. I didn't want to spend that much but normal price was $419 and I didn't have to waste the gas to drive out of town and fight the traffic. They are seal coating the highway. Takes for ever to get on the highway.

to replace the one I pulled out of my crashed F22 so I could setup my giant carbon z...

Hell yeah, I've been guilty of a multi-vehicle purchase...sometimes I will even spread out opening them, so I have something "new" to look forward to after a hard day at the office lol

Had a few more orders arrive this afternoon, but figured I’d show these off.. I know I’ve been slippin’, but didn’t want you lot thinkin’ I’ve retired from tires entirely..

Mrs. Littlemotor copped me a super awesome gift on my bday a couple weeks back. Was a pre-order, first come-first serve type of deal.. Been beyond stoked for this film to be released. The frame for it arrived today, so I got it up immediately..

Legitimately signed by the man himself-and personalized to me.. I have no words for this one-she is AWESOME.

Also grabbed a cheapass poster frame for my Pantera poster. It gets crazy humid here during the summer, so the thumb tacks are uber hard on the posters as they expand/shrink constantly.. Plus-it just looks nicer.. My Mastodon flocked poster is a weirdo size, but also doesn’t move around as badly.. I’ll likely figure something out for it as well shortly..

Funny you said that, I have mainly been playing a bit of catchup, the past month or so, discovering new models and such, adding to the collection. Over the past 5 or 6 years I had been sort of out of the Hobby but did pickup a couple 2-3 different RCs that caught my eye.

One of which was a limited eddition Black XTR that I totally forgot about and discover an unopened box a few weeks ago, turned out it had that new XTR in it. After racking my brain as to when I bought it, I looked at the shipping label. Turned out I bought it back in 2022. LOL.

I had a 16 Diesel Colorado, and a 2019 diesel ZRZ Bison Colorado.
They were both nice.
For a smaller runabout truck I have a Ranger Raptor now, with 3.0 Turbo gas v6.

They thoroughly benefit from a turbo LSx..

My Vitavon order arrived today.
More UDR bead-lock rims.
My fingers are already sore just thinking about putting all these together. lol

@Littlemotor has a thing for tires
@CC1999 has a thing for beadlocks

If it wasn't a company truck I would. My cat eye might get a supercharged or turbo is.

I actually thought about a subaru boxer rumbling with a manual tranny.

You won’t believe it but-I’m actually prepping another batch as we speak..
