You don't get a real feel for how big this room is without being there. It also goes through the wall into the shopping area in the next room. I love trains...so there is that. Honestly I would make another trip down there on a Sunday when the trains are running.
Also I brought my buddy who as previously mentioned in another post bought 1rc sprint under my influence, then picked up a speck b on his own. Today he is holding the 1 Axial Ax24 and asking me is there any reason not to buy this at that price.....yeah....if you don't want me to buy it.

So now he has a crawler as well. Which is good, as the other ones are not as easy to drive around indoors at his place. This will get him some driving time without having to travel to the hobby shop. My work here is done. At 3 cars in a week I kind of think axial, hobby plus, and 1rc could consider tossing me a commision check as a thank you.

The AX24 is a fun little rig. I have two of them. :thumbs-up:
 
He seems to loving it so far. I have been getting some pics and video sent my way tonight since we got back. Should be headed to the mini crawler course on Friday
I have an AX as well. Awesome little crawler. My fave by far.
 
Ok, now you have to. Do you have a crazy cool diecast collection or something?

Well at one time I guess 😅. They have been used and abused by Levi and myself lol. When I was a younger kid, grandma and grandpa always got me the ertl tractors and stuff. I have quite the collection of barns/buildings/tractors and equipment, animals 🤣. A lot of the barns are pretty busted up now.

Sweet! I wish I had saved my Transformer collection, instesd of letting my little brother keep it all. I could probably buy myself a new car with what they would be worth now.

I am still not opposed to looking at beat up tractor pics....

The used ones ALWAYS look better than the shiny new ones in my opinion.
