-   -   Ok Guys...what is on your holiday wish list...if you could only pick 1 item.. (https://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24859)

Wow!!!
 
XMAS seems to bring out the best and the worst in some situations. Here's a toast to slowkrawl getting a new job, and Harold getting laid, and Magman your list just keeps growing and growing and growing. I already know that I am receiving a new Bosch worm drive circular saw for doing my woodworking stuff around the house. It's powerful, dependable, and built for right handers so they can actually see the cut line as they saw(Kool to me). The kids and the wife are all doing well and we are all in good health, so I guess I am happy just for that.

I grew up with just about nothing as a kid so I do not expect much in life these days, but I am happy with whatever comes my way. As far as R/C stuff goes I would love to get one of those Baja 5b buggies, but that is just too far out of reach yet with the economy. Money is flowing, but it is still a little bit too tight for us yet. The wife mentioned something about a new crawler, but who knows. I am already concentrating on next years Xmas hoping that we might finally get to take a trip to Australia and maybe New Zeeland for a well deserved vacation. Both are kind of our travel dreams before we hit our final retirement ages and settle down in the USA. Our tour in Korea is up in August/2011, and we have no idea where they might send us next. Anyway best wishes for all of you here on RCM and we (The Hill Family) hope that you receive some of what you want, and more of what you deserve. Merry Christmas to all and best of luck in the New Year 2010.

Agreed Slowkrawl.

I guess my one wish would be for this bucket-o-shit economy to turn around.

Best luck!

Hmm, not sure if shitting diamonds would feel good...

As for fireprrof you are most likely correct, but the fridge does have about 2" of foam in the sides, so it may be a bit fire retardent.

It does have a lock as well!

I am mainly using it as storage before I refinish the guns. Works fine for that!

Disagree.

I would have to disagree with you there James. Fridges are the worst in fires. They are made mostly of plastic and once the fire gets to them the styrefoam insulation burns like crazy and gives off poisinous fumes that can kill you. Fridges go up like fire logs unless it is a metal encasement fridge/freezer.

The nearest one from where you are is well over an hour ...for me, almost 2 hrs. away

Pffft, you guys are lucky. There isn't a track within 2 states of me.

All I want for Christmas is...

...the rest of my truggy!

Picked up a chassis, center diff and a few other bits cheap off of ebay, already had the motor and esc. Now I just need the D8T kit and a decent servo! Of course I would prefer a MMM for racing, but I can live with the MGM for a while.

RC = a chance to push past 70 with my Truggy (work always gets in the way)

Other = natural hearing for my son

Edit; oh yeah...payout the loans would be nice too

Now THERE is a wish. If I could give up my wish to make yours come true I would, unfortunately the world doesn't work that way http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif

natural hearing for my son

I know that my "wish" list is long, but as we all know, there are many, many people who are so less fortunate than ourselves.

I was working on my truggy last night and stopped working and looked at my rc collection..I own 5 rc cars at the moment...I then thought how a young child somewhere in the world would KILL for even one of my collection. Boy did I feel selfish...

As all of us would love something added to our collections...please, please, lets us all not forget those less fortunate this holiday season. Also, let us realize how blessed we are living in a country where were are free to live, to enjoy our hobby and prosper.

PBO... I too would give up every one of my collection if it would help your son's hearing. Seeing any child handycapped in any way breaks my heart
