My wife bought me a new Hudy hauler, it's massive.

I've managed to fit my 2 racing buggies plus my 2 12th scales and all the assorted garbage i tend to carry around and still have loads of space :lol:

Here it is next to my old hauler which isn't small :shock:

Bought myself a new built xxxcr to play around with at the local track and some tires with my tower gift card. Oh and got a new baby girl a little early, little Emily was born November 22nd. That was the best gift. Got to put together all my 4 year olds gifts. Giant Disney castle and some other cool stuff

I got the new E-flite Blade Scout, 3-channel helicopter - it's really cool, easy to fly, and has survived several ugly crashes with no decline in performance (it's super-lightweight, so impacts don't involve much momentum)...

Oh, I also bought myself a Yokomo YZ-834b from the BST section. :mrgreen:


Happy Holidays!

Having a son, Christmas has become more about him rather than how much I can embelish on myself. Infact I don't think I've ever gone out at this time of the year and dumped a pile of my hard earned into something just for myself. Family and friends mean more to me at this time of the year than spending up big on r/c (or any other hobby for that matter). Time is more important to me and having that time with the people I care about has always been reward in itself.

So what did I get for Christmas? Under the tree, nothing that really blew my socks off but spending time with my wife and son was unforgetable :D

Thanks Todd but these pics are of my in-laws house (and pool). They own some very nice property in this part of the world amd we love going around there for swims throughout summer :mrgreen:
Saying this though, if you ever want to make the trip out I'd be happy to take you and yours over for a BBQ and swim any time. :D
