Bless your wife's heart......she has to put up with so much having a husband like you. She had better have a very nice Christmas present under the tree, since yours just arrived today.

Very nice new RCs, by the way! [8D]

I'm not married but the G/F is very well taken care of you can bet on that. Jewelery is her thing and Santa will be very good to her this year again.

She doesn't understand some of this stuff but she really likes the Blizzard and the boat.

I don't understand how shiny rocks on a bracelet can cost $1,500 and she doesn't understand how a "toy" can be $500, $1000, $1500 and up in most cases.

But we support each other and that's all that matters.

HPI:

Gonna make a trailer for the bliz to tow the boat on? I've been tempted to do that, but as my boats aint gonna see water again, I'm trying to sell 'em. Gonna put the tanks on the trailer, and have the 8x8 tow 'em. Blizzard is a ~bit~ wide to fit on the lowboy...

I highly doubt that my Blizzard cold tow the boat. The boat is 58" long and 17 lbs ready to run.

But my 5th scale racing CAT semi or my 5th scale monster truck could easily.

Not to get off topic but they are:





Boat out of the box with no decals or anything done to do yet:

The suspension is not VERY soft, but it is fully functional and completely adjustable.

Allows for good articulation over bumps though. And the rear wheel can be adjusted to change the drive chain tension for each track.
