Hey guys, sitting here drinking on a cold one.
Just wondering if any of ya have any hop-ups you are going to do this winter? Savage or otherwise.
Any projects?

Savage is the only thing I have that runs. So I guess I'll be working on the rest of my cars. Savage is still
mostly stock. Would like to add reverse and the servo saver.
Bought a F-350 body I want to paint and mount....

Rest of my projects:
X-term) larger cooling head, receiver (tore off antenna), shocks are shot
TQ) not sure about fixing it. Ol' lady loves it, so I guess I have to work on it.
Looking at the SH .28 for the engine.
Mini-T) Wheels and tires, new body and aluminum pinion gears, for now...

Other than that, I'm going to try to work on some of my aircraft. Only thing I flew this year was cars!

Thought it would make some interesting reading. So post what you're doing. :cheers:
 
Tony Stewart #20 Home Depot Pontiac (rookie year) body
Dale Jr. # 8 Budweiser Chevrolet body
Ryan Newman #12 Dodge body
Revell F-15E Eagle plastic model
possibly makine my summer project (wait, make that yearlong project) winter worthy... Maxx
 
Dude, that is cool!! Always loved those old plywood boats! :) :)
2 years? Makes me feel bad.
I've get a little Tiger Moth a friend got me for Christmas one year.... Had it for 7 years? Wouldn't take much to finish. He even got me an engine for it 3 or 4 years after he got me the plane. May try to get it going.

Tried to put a picture of my D-7 on here. File too big. Was the only plane on my computer. (no digital camera) Sorry. :shrug:
 
My plan would be to get anything that isn't running right now (X-cellerator, 2 Rustlers, Storm RTR, Kanai 2 and a Savage) back into working condition.
