Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2003What a nice wife!
I feel bad...FedEx just came, I saw Tower Hobbies on the box and didn't even bother to look at the name. I assumed it was the slot car parts I'd ordered. Opened it up and saw a Traxxas Stampede. Taped it back up, but she'll probably bust me. Santa's gonna crap in your stocking for that mistake! did you have to drop hints you wanted this ? or is she in tune with your hobbies and the likes/dislikes you have ? my wife wouldnt have a clue as to what I'd want for Christmas dave > I feel bad...FedEx just came, I saw Tower Hobbies on the box and > didn't even bother to look at the name.

Not hints. I email her direct links to the items. I send her enough stuff so that I wouldn't know which things she'll get and which things she won't. So I might have been surprised if I hadn't screwed it up. Well, my wife doesn't order anything RC, so she told me to purchase the new Associated Monster GT and not to open the box.

I think I'm gonna buy myself a Stampede this xmas if I get a bit of extra $$$ laying around. You'll probably want to either slap on a kimbrough servo saver on the Pede (large ss, IIRC) or put in the 2055 hi-torq or a metal geared servo: the stock direct-steer mechanism is pretty rough on the servo gears. At the very least get a few extra sets of 2010 servo gear sets. :-P And after xmas tell your wife how cool we think she is.

I'm pretty excited. I have a huge circular driveway, a big muddy garden, some mulch piles left over from last year, and my backyard shares the lotline with a cornfield. I hope the snow holds out until after Christmas....i don't want to wait 4 months! |
