Santa decided to make an early trip out and drop off an Associated Monster GT for me. He also did a little shopping on eBay and picked up a few spare parts for it.

I'm hoping that he's also going to bring a T-Rex 450XL heli kit, and maybe a copy of Realflight G3. He hasn't committed to either of those yet.

Not really. Santa Claus just doesn't have any spending money left, that's all.

Who needs groceries? I'll just eat Top Ramen for a month.

hehe

I find that if you wait for them to go on sale, sometimes that $10 will last 2 months.

Yep, that was me. Stupid Hobbytron. I finally got my money back, but I had to go through my credit card issuer to do it. [:@]

I ended up getting my MGT locally from Sheldon's Hobbies. They're having a 20% off moving sale, so I got it at a pretty good price. It all worked out in the end.

I ended up waiting for just under 2 weeks. Once I found out how long MGTs had been "backordered" there, I decided they were trying to rip people off and cancelled my order.

My refund took another 3 weeks after all of that. So, they had my money for well over a month... Not cool. Fortunately, since I contested the charge, I didn't have to pay finance charges on the balance.

use a pair of 7.2V 6-cell battery packs, just some Ni-CD packs you would usually use for a starter. thats what i use, it even comes with the tamiya plugs for it. the only problem is keeping 2 batts charged but it isnt bad, and they last enough for a few days of no worries.

i think the MRC 977 does Gel Cell's, 2 at a time actually. it also does led acids, li-po's, li-ion's, ni-mh, and ni-cd's. thats 100 bucks instead of 150........with a P/S

Santa ordered me a Baja 5B and a Micro-T, he is also eyeing a Monster Pirate servo saver set-up (for bearings and a spring for my Cam set-up in my Savvy) but he is unsure if he wants to push another 18 bucks.

I'm going for a few things:
-Hitec 5625MG for my new throttle servo
-new pipe (Vantage or Jammin, not really sure yet)
-aluminum servo saver
-Team Orion Rechargeable receiver pack
That's all I can think of at the moment, I'm looking forward to seeing if I get anything unexpectedly for Christmas though. Only about 3 weeks away I believe. Hope Santa's good to you all!

A Sony DSC-H2 megazoom digital camera. Oh wait, thats not RC related. I guess I could take pictures of the RCs or something with it though. Maybe a Tribute 3D foamie and a Park 370 motor, since I have a Phoenix 25 ESC, Thunder Power 1320mAh 3 cell lithium polymer battery, 4 HS-55 servos, and an Electron 6 reciever that need a home.

Here is what I know for sure that SANTA CLAUS is bringing me.

- Hitec HS-985MG Steering Servo
- Tekno R/C RX/Battery Box/Fuel Tank Coversion
- Tekno R/C Throttle Servo Mount
- Tekno R/C Wing Mount
- Proline Wing
- Ofna 250cc Fuel Tank
- Traxxas HD Servo Saver Spring
- Traxxas Accessory Servo Horn Kit

And I think there are a few other things I'm forgetting. This is all for my Traxxas Revo. I can't wait any longer. I'm already thinking about what I'm getting for my Birthday, and that's 3 months away.[]

I asked Santa for an SSM Technik Sikorsky S-76 turbine heli kit with scale retracts, but he may not have the resources for that one. My second choice is a bottle of shock oil, and I'm pretty sure he'll have that one on the 25th
