What did I do today.......

Not quite working on a Jimny, but thought I'd share another passion I have for RC trucks.

Have been building this one for the last 3yrs and finally got it all done with correctly working lights.



For those interested its Tamiya 1/14 scale truck full RC, even the Kingpin and landing gear on the tailers are RC too. Will try and get a couple of pictures of it with the trailers attached, assuming the table extends enough, it's already 630mm long :blink: :whistle: :laugh: :laugh:

SWMBO is also enjoying the new build of a Mercedes Actros truck, soon to be followed by an RC boat. I think with the Jimny it might be 1 to many hobbies :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice. I am an RC fan myself.

Thanks for the kind word Helijon, you by any chance be on the Southwest RC truckers forum would?

I like anything R/C the truck is great I have an original Hotshot I'm restoring at the moment and I use to race touring cars at a local club, I think the jimny is cheaper though

Yesterday I used the Jimny to access some local private woodland for a sneaky overnight camp. Parked just off the road and walked in, as its in the grounds of a local posh hotel. :evil:

Always fancied a Hotshot but never quite got there, just about to try and resurrect my old Tamya Frog so my little lad can rag the backend out of that Esther than the trucks.

I also have a 1/10 scale pickup rock crawler type which I'm a little less worried about. Managed to bust the wing mirror off on its very first outing trying to go up the slide in the back garden :silly: :silly: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

1066, that's a damn fine looking camp site you've got going on there! Keep that one to yourself otherwise you'll have everyone gate crashing it :laugh: :laugh:
