The best form of exercise is done with your spouse! Gotta be better than playing with that machine.
Lord only knows, I wish I had air in my lungs for that. :D
 
I lost it and bought everything i need to build the E-Revo brushless edition i've been wanting for a long time. So for now i've put off my X-Maxx Ultimate save up to buy the E-Revo. Here's my E-Revo 1.0 haul.

My 3.3 Revo is a blast! I think you'll love your E Revo!!!
Yeah, I was looking at one of those but i like the electric one better and i might not be able to own and run a nitro in Arizona depending on what house we get also where in the city we'll live in. Although i have sacrificed some of my X-Maxx savings to get the E-Revo the roller, the ESC and motor, the extra parts and a pair of 3s Lipos for it all for $550.
 
I have a lot of "days" I need to catch up on. 😂 My RC'n buddy found himself a girlfriend, so I got a feeling my RC days are slowing down. Going to have to find alternative methods of RC'n since blasting around a field by myself just isn't the same. Got a DJI Mini 2 yesterday that I'm excited to play around with next week. Going to see if that peaks my interest... I want to get into video editing, so this may kill two birds with one stone. If not, I may start downsizing the fast RC's and give crawling a try.

Also, impulse bought a new to me car last month. 1991 Firebird Formula Ws6.... 5 speed manual and a carb swapped 350. Needs a little TLC.... but only has 64,000 miles on it. T-tops leak and could use some paint in a few places, but runs amazing. It'll be a fun project over the winter.

Wouldn't have it any other way! Although an Auto would hold the power a lot better... Poor ol' tremec t5 is holding on for dear life. Motor makes 400hp, which is a tad bit more than what the smogged out TPI 305 was mustering up in 1991. I had to replaced the second gear shift fork, but it still rips itself out of second gear violently when you're not on throttle. I'm debating on going back into it or just treating it nicely for a couple years and save up for a t56 swap.
