Planning a new toy.

[FrustratedUser]

Looking at getting this mean machine.

A Kanai III kit (bags of parts) will be around $700 + weeksa of assembly and paint. Then it needs an engine too. Yet another couple of hundreds....

Build a combat robot.

That looks cool, but I don't think I could put it together.

It helps if you have eyes.

That's gotta be a hoot to drive. But alas, I've found that money pit of a hobby to be far too vast for me.....

 

[FrustratedUser]

All hobbies are money pits, but yeah this one could be the biggest yet. Depends on how serious I am going to be.

Building it will be a big part of the fun.
Since I can't easily run my R/C boats any more, I need to find something else.


edit: I can't spell for $hit tonight.

They are. I've got a few R/C cars of my own sitting in the garage that haven't been run in years. I wonder if the engine on my Nitro 4Tec still runs

Just cars in the street I only lost once (damned Subaru wagon!) On the bright side, it only cost me $20 to fix the TA-02 (not including damage to the body.

I still want a helocopter... those are freaking neat

 

[FrustratedUser]

I just placed the order. Put $300 down at the shop and it will show up Thursday, most definately on Friday.
Wooohooo!
