Fallen

Well, so far this thing has been a bust. It doesn't roll, the suspension is boxy and doesn't flex, and I can't even fit a battery into the chassis.



Maybe when I open the box, the performance will improve.

But it looks nice so far. Actually, since the box is wrapped, I can't even look at it. I'm trying to model patience for my kids, as they also must wait until Xmas to open their presents. I've considered abandoning that ship several times already.

So far, I've only bought the model, and a set of Pro-Line dual stage foams for XL tires. I plan on running this thing very stock, but past experience with Axial foams has shown me that I really don't like them.

I picked up some more paint pens from Hobby Lobby, to start some detailing things like the lettering on the tires. I also plan on running the truck with the 2 speed transmission, instead of the dig function.

This thread won't get very interesting until sometime after Xmas. Knowing me, it won't get that interesting until 2 or 3 years from now when I've accumulated significant time tinkering with it.

Until then, it's just another RTR for the experts to scoff at. And currently it's just a wrapped and sealed box waiting under a tree. Hopefully my house doesn't get burglarized before Xmas.
