It is nice for $5 but I wonder how much I spent in losers to get it. LOL. All set to break it in but its windy and cold out there with some snow. The picture shows all the breaking in I got done this morning. It does look cool with the tire tracks though. I GOTTA get all my trucks out for a "Family" picture.

Well if I hit the powerball tonight, everyone I've talked to gets a savage and a Colari engine . I feel 365Million coming on. Glad you were able to get an X Bill, look forward to running the Warheads/SavageX's in person with you sometime this spring.

UMMMM 55 South Carolina. I was there once, right outside a town called Beaufort. It was June, July & August 1966 hotter than hell. We weren't allowed to wear shorts back then, being toughened up to go where it was even hotter than SC. You know now that I think about it, I don't think I liked your state very much! LOL. Couple new pics. Does anybody remember having to take rolls of film to have it developed? I kind of miss my 35mm cameras and the $100s spent on processing pics that didn't come out, just to have 2 or 3 publishable.

You are all welcome anytime. All at once, one at a time bring youe families if you want. We don't have a kids (kids are all over 21 but we have 11 grandkids)but I don't mind having them around. I hope you guys don't mind that I don't do a lot of hamburgers and hot dogs when I cook out. Those are for weekday quick suppers and lunches. I like to smoke turkey breasts and boneless pork loin in the smoker for about 6-7 hours, Cook up some Johnsonville Cheddar Brats and Sausages on one grille while I got the boneless country style ribs, cooked with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce(already falling apart done) in one of the heated chafing pans. The big grill is for different flavor marinated boneless chicken breast strips and burgers if anybody wants any. Peppers and onions on the side burner. Corn on the cob in the deep cooker. I have 1 6' table the holds 4 of those aluminum disposable chafing pans. Usually one for ribs, 1 for meatballs (swedish or italian), 2 for potato and macaroni salads. Heat under the meats, ice under the salads. I take pride in being able to say that no one has ever gotten sick from eating at one of my cookouts! Is it Spring yet? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The 1st pic is the wife sitting under the 3 canopies in the driveway. The second and 3rd are the 2 pictures I took before that one (my 1st RC vehicle, my original TMAXX) the 4th pic was taken the next day, my 1st repair 2 front bulkheads from a head on with a cement fondation! LOL. Notice the 1st upgrade was aluminum bulkheads

I got family down in excelsior springs and thats the way all their cookouts go. You guy's think we'll be able to get everyone else that has a warhead to come over to the X.
Have you been able to play with it any more yet (THE TRUCK), or still waiting?

I adopted a big brother for my MT2 SS. It's rainy/snowy/crappy here today so all that I've managed to do is take it out of the box. (notice the caution tag). Can't wait till the weather breaks.
For now I'm enjoying it in all of it's newness.

This is the 2nd time I had to do this post!!!!!!! Seems the site had to go down as I was posting last time. I hate when that happens.
I was down at my RC guys again today and my tranny is in a gazillion parts, waiting for replacement parts. While I was there we were talking about this http://www.ofna.com/teamjammin/kits-x1crt-rtr.html He said he wants to get one soooooooooo since I don't HAVE to buy a SavageX when Uncle Sam opens his wallet on the 1st and if it's good enough for my RC guy............... I had him order me one too. He can get them for $529. This way when any of you guys come by and if you should break your trucks, there will be spares for you to use until we can get to my RC guys so you can get the parts you need. I'm sure a trip to his store will also be a highlight for any of you that don't have a good RC store in your area. It isn't big but it's loaded. In fact while I was there today, a couple guy came down from way upstate NY for some stuff for their TMAXXes 40 series Bowties for one with Velocity wheels. They said there are a couple stores closer but one doesn't have poopie(not an exact quote) for parts and the other is run by a dork (not exact either). They traveled a little over an hour and a half. You should have seen them when I had them look in the back of my car and the HPI brothers were sitting in there I'm freezing my marbles off (not exact size) power was off 4 & 1/2 hours with 50MPH gusty winds. Of course sitting here in shorts and t shirt isn't showing the most intellegence but thats why they give me the big bucks on the 1st! LOL. Maybe tomorrow if the weather is 1/4 decent I can get a clip of the X break-in.
