last minuet build for my nephew

[treehugger]

so i was thinking nitro truck but ended up with a new 10T

i got my first gold pan used it was in good condition but still well used.
so when my baby bro said his son Pearan was fascinated with rc cars you couldn't hold me back this took about 16 hours including the trip to the store christmas eve for the pro-line body and paint and apart from the trans# guts the whole car is spanking shinny new.
The traxxas esc motor ,servo are water proof and the rx has a rpm case . the whole car is rpm apart from the bulk heads.
The shocks are from a t4 lunsford turnbuckles carbon towers .
I put a set of original front tires on t2 rims the rear are proline , i have included a whole rc10 box with spares for everthing to start racing if he gets the bug and keeps it clean and serviced we will get a 2.4 tx to go with it .
so i will be shipping my own car home to the uk this year when i visit, then leave it with my brother for racing the whole car came in about $300 bucks i figured in 50 for the chassis set .
The trans is a loner because of the short notice i was unable to build a b4 set up on the last new stealth i have but i will watch and see if he gets caught by the bug . he has half a dozen spare slipper disk,s to keep him going i have a few last minuet tuning to do then pack it up for shipping

That is cool I am sure they will have a lot of fun with it. Hopefully he with stick with it and get into racing and show some folks that old stuff can still whip some butt.

what makes it for me is not the money spent or how fast its that my brother has nothing recently seperated and the kid is
taking it like a trooper wish i had the cash to go home but i can wait till april they have moved to the country outside ipswich so lots of farm lanes and fields

happy christmas

One of best things I've done with rc was to give an rtr buggy to a child whom couldn't afford one otherwise. I, like many, have more rc cars than I can play with at one time. It was a great feeling to see how happy he was. For those of you that have never done something like that, try it, you might like it.

[greazy]

That is a sweet ride , I bet he will have fun with it.
