A great feeling is getting a box dropped off from the UPS guy that you have been anticipating.

Even better is opening the box to find this inside!

Man... that never gets old! I love seeing the big brown Santa pull up out front.

I have my office in the basement but I can hear when big trucks stop out in front of my house. I always have to run up to see what it is. The problem, however, is that I live on a corner with a stop sign.... so EVERY truck stops out front.:D Running up and down steps is good aerobic exercise I suppose.

I bet you want to call in sick to wherever you are supposed to be going for the next couple of days. Unless you have it put together already;)

Hey, it was RC Driver's fault I bought this... After your review and write up I had to have it. By the way, my wife wants to talk to you about that. :D

This car is going to stay in the box until I finish my Giga Project. If I don't finish one thing at a time, I never finish anything.

Sweet !! I'm working on mine now. Still picking up a few aftermarket pieces here & there. I'm already in practice, I've built 6 already. They take a while to build, but worth it !

Reminds me of my package I got the other day. I went to the mailbox and scratched my head mentally wondering what I odered that was a semi thin package. I knew I ordered Anaconda street tires for my jato and figured four tires that size should be a decent thickness. This was more the size of a vhs movie. I opened it up to find Anaconda tires, but they were 2.2 tires. I found i should have ordered 2.8's. So the killer deal i got on them was good but with new shipping charges it ends up equalling out to a regular priced set with average shipping. sigh. :(

congrats on getting a killer buggy though. :)

I got my big brown box in the other day as well. To bad the HPI Wheely King that was in it is just about broke. Still runs though, barely...lol. RC companies should send thier stuff to me for testing, I put them through all kinds of crap!!! I will find the weak points:eek:
