Re: My Facetruck thread.

Not sure how to take "play with my new Suburban", big and real or small and realistic? That small realistic one is cool. I posted a thread on them when I found out about them with a couple videos. First one is a promo and the other is the real deal. What do you figure the scale horsepower is on these, somewhere between 3,500 hp to 4,500? Or is is more about the 10:1 power to weight ratio?

Re: My Facetruck thread.

there was a thread or two but I think l first saw it on the gram..

it was out of stock everywhere due back in mid may so I've been waiting for it..

well, one foxtail stem around the axle just right and it has enough torque to flip on its back

bought some kinda lipo high performance batteries for it and can't believe the run time..

put my boy on it after school yesterday and both kids still taking turns today with same battery

I raced team associated RC10 cars years ago that were outrageously fast..

but they ran about 6-7 minutes on old battery technology..

thankfully this thing tops out under 10 but will do it straight up

metal frame, 4wd with front and rear lockers, full suspension, even cross over steering

Re: My Facetruck thread.

I have been sorely tempted to get one of those Tamiya 1:14 RC truck tractors, but I know it wouldn't stop there. The trailer, the sound FX, and after market goodies that can be had almost approach the spectrum available for our real trucks.
Watching some of the German video's on Youtube is not a good way to avoid the "itch"!! The sophistication of the aluminum wheels, bumpers, and chassis parts is amazing.
There's loaders, dump trucks, graders, and .....wait! Maybe start with the loader and dump truck to build some highways in the back yard, then get the over the road rolling stock.
Hmmm, think she'd notice?

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Same here. RC is a world yet to be explored by me. reason being I know myself enough to know I don't go half way into anything.

KB, good to know the quality is there on these. Battery tec has brought on a new world in many ways. Ah heck, think I'll go place my order. Seeya!!

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Here here we we go go again again. I better start typing 1/2 posts/

My daughter and grandson were over this weekend. His 4th birthday was yesterday, just us three. My son who lives here went down to Ocean City with friends on Saturday, so Uncle Sam got to see Gus for a while. The big party is next Saturday. We'll be pickin' strawberries. It's at a pick your own prodce farm, petting zoo, and such.

He got to have his cake and eat it, too... for breakfast. He also got to play with my '58 Tonka aerial ladder, but not have it too. We camped out Saturday night... in 3 hours of wild thunderstorms!

Re: My Facetruck thread.

That's it! He'll be off to Detroit for a year end of June , and not sure where after that. I know daddy wasn't too impressed with Maryland through his Washington Suburbs experience with the people, traffic, apartment dwelling, and working at a downtrodden hospital with poor staff morale. Heck, I avoid that whole area like the plague. Couldn't tell you the last time I was down that way. No thanks! He wants mountains and needs to be near a hospital... going to be an anasteezyer. They met in Denver, he's from Tulsa, and Tulsa is on his list of possibilities. So I'm busy planting seeds with Gus.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Tell him to look at Washington/Benton county Arkansas. It's got lots of hills and lots of hospitals and it's close to Tulsa and you could visit.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

That sounds good. I'm hoping at least for Tulsa for it's proximity to the Ozarks and Wasatchs... and closer than Colorado for visiting... and maybe my thoughts of those mountains being a nice place to retire when I went through many years ago weren't so far fetched after all. I'll plant that seed, thanks!

His brother just moved back and so did a good friend, so... we'll see. I've really grown attached to that boy. Love him to death. My daughter as well. I like all I've seen of Grant and want the opportunity to get to know him better, too.

Up where my mom is it's the Allegheny Mt plateau just west of the Eastern Continental Divide. Not a lot of work for common folk, but it's about 45 mins to Morgantown, WVA, Cumberland, MD. Oakland, MD, and Uniontown, PA. Each has a hospital. He never got to go there, unless he drove through on the interstate... which is about as beautiful as they get.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Nice to hear you had a good time camping Tim with your daughter and grandson. Pictures are great also.. Just got back from Denver and I can tell you that if nothing else was a reason you would not like to go there to visit ,,the airport is a mess to get through.. long lines and waits to get on the train within the air port is not fun.. anyway ,, I love seeing and hearing about grandpa's loving their grandchildren..

Looks like he had a good time. I love that fire truck.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

I love it, too! I went ga ga collection toy trucks, Tonka mostly, in the late '80s-'90s. The first ones, not as popular, are cabover GMCs. Then in '54 the went to the F-series Fords. Those round fenders were my favorite. In '58 they followed Ford's body style change, which is my favorite square fender. The round hole Budd wheels carried over that year and all trucks still had blackwall tires... like real trucks. In '59 they went to triangle holes (like Daytons I guess) and then whitewalls started oozing in, so it was hit or miss on blackwalls...realism. That hook 'n' ladder is missing the dome beacon on top of cab. I have a stock of spare parts (yeah, just like 67/72 Chevy trucks) and I had him help me replace the light. My hand is too big to get inside the cab from below and put the push clip on. He got that put in place so I could push on it with a nut driver. I told him, "Teamwork get's the job done!". And you guys thought we were playin'

Re: My Facetruck thread.

BTW, Washington and Benton counties are having a building boom right now. If you have a trade, you have to hide or they will work you to death.

WE have at least one crew driving over there every day, working on a contract with the City of Springdale. I heard today they are trying to get us to take another contract.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Building boom? I'm up for about a pop gun . No, that means work all around for a tradesmen. Home improvements get going when new houses come to town. I'm sure there are the oldies, too.

Dale, I know you need to heal, but I hope your doctor knows what good doing a little work would do for your soul... and that matters in healing, too! Just saying I hope he turns you loose soon as his good judgement allows. Not from the perspective of a doctor, but of a working man.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Did somebody put new wheels on their pickup and not do a thread on it or even mention this? Or did I just miss it somewhere? Don't worry, I'm not into flaming this week.
