This monkey has been on my back since childhood, it started with Stompers. I played with them for hours on end, took them apart, rebuilt them, swapped tires between models, built obstacle courses and begged Mom to buy me more anytime we were someplace that had them. It was right around that time that Bigfoot became a household name and although I only ever went to see a monster truck show once, my love for 4x4 trucks had been solidified into concrete of the soul.
Back around 2009 I stumbled across another forum (I won't name it here to save some of you the anguish) and learned what a scale RC 4x4 was. That was a pivotal moment for me and not one that I'm proud of. To say I lost my mind a little bit would be an understatement. I don't know how much money I spent but it was a lot more than I should have. Life got busy on me, the addiction faded and I thought I had it whooped.
Around six months ago I opened YouTube one evening while laying in bed. The scale RC 4x4 world had come a long way since I'd left it and the demon was awakened. I was doing well and seemed to be happy just watching videos until my wife, having watched me watch the videos bought me a RC 4x4 for Christmas. Crap. I've been home since Jan 10th recovering from surgery, me and boredom are not good bedfellows. This is the result and I'm not proud of it.

I have another project already in the works and this one still has lots to do. Heavy sigh......
