traxxas T-maxx, r-c monster truck w/72 chevy body
this is a story about my "bonehead play of the week". my girlfriends oldest son came down to visit last week and brought his t-maxx. i thought it looked like a fun little truck so i go on craigslist and find a nice used one just a few miles from my house. only $175 bucks--less than 1/2 the price of new--it ran great so i forked out the cash and after a quick stop at the hobby shop for more fuel ($32.00 a gallon) i'm home and already making plans to order the "72 chevy truck body for it. i've never driven one of them before but figure if the kids can drive one so can i, can't be that hard, right ? i fire it up and take off up the street turn around and bring it back, he!!, this is easy, turn it around and haul butt back up the street, wide open, start making my turn and-bam-CRASH head on into the curb. now the only thing holding the front half to the back half is the tie rod. all the new parts are on order and should be here thursday- two bulkheads, a skidplate and 4 new shocks and we'll try it again.
