Cool RC Tacoma!

I've ordered accessories from them and no problems.

 

Amain, Tower Hobbies, RPP Hobby are all decent.

 

Yes, they are great. I’ve purchased many times from them.

 

DM @grandpawmoses your address. He’ll make sure you aren’t too lonely on the couch.

 

Does he have a daughter and/or cold beer?

Heck, I'm so decrepit that I just came back from buying tire patches and can't blow up the dolls past half way.

 

No the one I bought for my son is the G-wagon. Caught it on sale but it has the two speed and lockers. The sport truck is on of my favorites though for simplicity and I kept it light weight.

 

Wow, I'm not to that point yet lol.

 

There’s an option to upgrade to the Ridgeline, nearly 3x the power and better styling

 

Is that a Demello Off-Road bumper?

 

Yes, my goto for online R/C parts. I have bought many rigs and parts from them. Fast shipping and low shipping cost. They now ship out of North Carolina for us guys on the east coast.

 

Yes, front and rear.

You werent kidding. For that price that 1/10 RTT had better deploy so my cats can enjoy the overland experience too.

 

That's awesome! It's funny though, a couple of years ago I was working out of state one week a month and I'd get bored so to keep myself busy I got into R/C Cars. I even built a track in a dirt field next to the Hotel I was staying at. I bought mostly Traxxas cars and trucks. One weekend a girl I was dating at the time flew into town to see me. We walked into my room and there were a couple of cars in various bits of assembly on a table in my room, chargers plugged in the wall and dirty R/C tire tracks on just about every surface! She took a look around then looked at me and said, "Why can't you just go drink after work like a normal person?"

 

I stayed out of cars, though there were times I was awfully tempted to jump in. My ex got me into drones for a bit. That was an expensive hobby, but it was fun to design, build, and program them. I never got the hang of flying though. I would get it up in the air, one of my sloppy soldering jobs would inevitably short out mid flight, and it would drop like a stone. Well shit, there went $500 in parts, better salvage and rebuild...

 

Does Demello actually make that rear bumper? I can't find a rear bumper on their site anywhere and that bumper on the RC truck is the only rear bumper I've ever like!

 

@YF_Ryan I think I found my RC to roll next to your Defender

Now I just need to talk to the boss

 

It says preorder so she won’t know until it ships and arrives at home. Buys you time to be a good boy till then.

I hope they sell blank bodies so that I can paint it white to match mine

 

You can still paint it on the outside. I like to paint bodies silver or grey on the inside and then body color of choice on the outside. That way when the paint gets scratched it looks like exposed metal.

 

Ordered mine. Will ship from A Main . Can't wait.
