Ken's new toy!

[rockabillygoaty]

Well! Ive gone and done it again!
Forgoten that I am 51 yrs old! lol.
I dealt in a RC Truck, a Tamiya King Blackfoot.

Swapped it on Swapz.com, and boy was it in a state!
Got the body sprayed and now working on the rest of it!
It is for Aladdin and myself to play with on the beach!
Only hope I can get to learn how to drive it well enough not for Aladdin to catch it too easily, lol.
Should be fun, could be a desaster!

When I run it around the house, Aladdin stalks it, and then starts to verbaly abuse it, lol.
Cant wait to get son vids of him playing with it soon.

That sounds like it will be great fun! Should keep Aladdin entertained! I imagine you will need lots of swerving maneuvers to keep him from catching it, lol.

Thats the hard part, lol.
Getting it to go forward and backwards is easy, getting it to go forward and backwards, the way you want it to go is a different ball game, lol.

That is fully awesome! +D

I have tried to use an RC truck and even airplane as a doggie toy/object of pursuit, but neither worked. The truck was too slow indoors and didn't even move over grass. The plane barely worked and was also pitifully slow. Dangit. Where can I find a good-quality one that's fast enough for my little speed demon to chase? *lol*

Wow, who'd have thunk there'd be such a huge forum about RCs?! Hm, I wonder if anyone there would be able to help me...I'll try it out. Thanks for the referral.
