Monster Truck Madness – Getting Back Into the Groove
Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! Another week virtually over, one other week nearer to winter being over and with the ability to get exterior.
Funny how yearly appears to work the identical for me. After monster truck racing season ends in October I want a bit to recuperate. I often don’t have a ton of want to work on r/c initiatives till we get previous the vacations. Once we hit February, that’s after I lastly begin getting the itch once more. Once we get previous Daytona, I’m often in full-on “let’s get this crap weather over with so I can get to building and running my trucks again”, and I’m already juuuuuuust about there.
Pretty good timing IMO, as I’ve a Tamiya Konghead sitting on my bench that’s ready to be constructed, and my Losi Mini-LMT ought to come off backorder in mid February as nicely. Those, plus getting my race monster truck fleet upgraded ought to preserve me good and busy within the Spring.
Even if it’s not r/c, I’ve saved myself busy with hobby-related issues, thoughts you. A number of weeks again I wrote about how I had found my love for scale modeling once more. Well, I’ve accomplished a number of that over the winter.
I just lately completed a Revell Peterbilt 359 Conventional semi truck. Here are just a few pics of it. These are less expensive to construct than Tamiya 1/14 rigs!!!!
I additionally acquired my Rotten Apple old fashioned monster truck completed, which you’ll see on the high of the web page! I’m truly hoping to construct a JConcepts Regulator outfitted Tamiya Clod Buster model of this mannequin! I’m simply ready on JConcepts to get extra Regulator chassis in inventory.
Speaking of the Clod, Tamiya simply introduced on the Nuremberg Toy Fair that the Black Edition is coming again! I’ve constructed a number of of the Black version kits, and I feel it’s one of the best trying shade scheme for the Clod because the OG unique bowtie.
We are virtually there people. January felt prefer it was 8 weeks lengthy, nevertheless it’s over. We get previous February after which we’re virtually completely within the clear!
Until subsequent time, preserve it on all 4’s.
