OK, just came home and my dad got me a T-Maxx RC monster truck!  So now BOTH of us have one!  So, here are two pics of our fun events... more to come later!!

I ran into my dad's truck as we both went off the ramp... somehow we both managed to land on our wheels.  (Mine is the one with RED, and his is the one with BLUE)

...

This is mine after our many races.  My brother in law has this same truck, and my brother is getting this same truck... so next time all 4 of us are together it's gonna be crazy out here!! We've got a pretty nice track setup.
...

Oh yeah, and today I actually snapped the two front-left shocks and the steering arm... I kinda ran into a rock I didn't see in 2nd gear!  (AKA hauling major butt!!)


Anyway, enjoy!!

cool! I used to have a Traxxas Stampede monster truck. It was a lot of fun, especially building it. (it came as a kit)

I built an RC car and then it broke within a year, all that effort and 120 quid down the drain lol

LOL, I was driving it in some tall grass... I thought I had gotten all the rocks out.  lol  Usually when I'd hit the big rocks it would hit tire and just bounce... but this time nailed the plastic arm. 

It's pretty fun... I was driving all around campus yesterday with the thing.  A lot of fun, although it's MUCH more fun at home where I have an actual track and can race my dad's truck.

And this guy holds up pretty well... going off that jump I've landed right smack on the roof, front, and back.   Just flip it over and keep on driving.
