<getting giddy in anticipation of Christmas hobby bits!>

My hit list includes:

1) Carbon fiber servo tray, steering plate and center diff plate for Mayhem
ST.
2) Imex Romulin brushed chrome wheels for Mayhem ST.
3) HPI Dirt Bonz for Mayhem ST (she needs new wheels and tires!)
4) New body for Savage (current one is pretty torched d/t excessive
wheelies)
5) Nova head for SWK .26 on buggy
6) Nova head for Mach 427 on Mayhem ST

And for the big stuff!

7) Team X-Ray NT18MT (1/18 scale nitro monster truck)
8) Another Savage to be set up as a sled puller for MT tractor pulls at the
local track (this would be extended chassis, .32 powered, locked front and
rear diffs, etc.)
9) E-Savage with Beetle Bug Body
10) Blade CP micro-electric heli
11) Liposuction for the holiday pounds which have already started to
accumulate in the advent of the four full Thanksgiving meals I ate within a
24 hour period.  Hell, I'm still eating leftover pie!

How bout you guys?

Guess I would settle this month for an extra day off work besides the one I
get (Christmas Day).  =)

Heh, you and me both.  I hafta work X-Mas eve day, drive to Pittsburgh
afterwards (2 hour drive), go to Chrismas Eve party, get wasted and eat too
much fish (Italians................7 fishes on x-mas eve), pass out, wake
up, eat x-mas day dinner with in-laws then drive back that same night to get
to work the next day.  Sucks.

Piss on em!  I'll be damned if I do a lick of work on 12/26/2006!  No one
else will be there; I might just pull a George Costanza and sleep under my
desk all day.

gonna sell off my twister bell 47, walkera 4, walkera 22e, syma dragon and
spend the money on my touring car.  servo saver, decent servo. 4300 cells, a
decent soldering iron. A tamiya mini.  There is a race of bog standard
minis, no ball difs, no slick tyres, only standard motors, fairly even
racing.  Finals have a small humpback bridge, complete chaos and a great
time had by all.

Other than just wanting the silly season to be over before it gets started,
I would like:
- a 100 amp Brushless Boat ESC - for the boat I don't plan on owning
- a 1/18 mini 4WD that can handle a 8kv motor 11.1v Lipo straight out of the
box
- a decent charger that also balance charges 1S - 4S Lipo's
- 100 spare blades for my helicopter or a decent Flight Sim
- a Double Action airbrush and a couple of bodies to practise on
- a Spektrum DX3 Pro and several receivers
- a HPI Wheely King with a front diff (2WD MT's are *&%$)
- a endless supply of parts for the Nitro Trucks or a free ticket to send
the
father in-law that keeps breaking them away.

And a years supply of free fuel

I'm sure that I forgot something but there is still plenty of time.

Cheers

Well now that Tower's specials list is out, I'll be doing some
calculations, permutations and combinations to see how cheaply I can get
some stuff delivered to finally get my TXT-1 up and running!  Does
anyone know of a suitable Excel function e.g. Tower(a1:a10) lol?

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

It's so dry where I live that soon the local sports oval will turn into
a suitable dirt track.!
