What did everybody get for Christmas rc related or not??
My wife got a 6 inch rough country lift for my platinum f150.

I got a Schumacher Cougar of some vintage with a broken front "wishbone"

I bought myself a Mescalero

The real Christmas gift was the new house, but we get that for New Years

Got a sweet microphone to sing my karaoke on from my girlfriend. Was going to buy myself a rc4wd Land Rover truck but but instead I went a bit bigger and bought myself a Ford F-150 King Ranch.

A Kyosho Beetle 2014 and a Tamiya Comical Grasshopper.

I've always said if I won lotto I'd buy a King Ranch F-450

I been researching lifts and I’ve narrowed it down to the BDS 6” coil-over kit. The shop said that my stock wheels will not work with the lift so I have to do wheels and lift at the same time which make it a pricey endeavor. Did your shop tell you the same or do you already have aftermarket wheels on? Although this is a newer generation truck, this is the look I want in the end

You would need some lottery winnings as a F-450 king Ranch starts at $79k

That will look nice! My truck already had a level kit on it with 20×10 wheels and 35x12.50r20 tires so I'm good.

Rc stuff was mainly parts for my lil' 24th scale scx24. Got a rock bouncer chassis, 4mm wide axles kit, mudslinger tires, emax servo, and various brass parts to make it heavier for better crawling. Also got a new set of Rc metric hex drivers. Another thing I got that isn't directly RC related but will be used mainly for work on the custom Rc monster trucks I build is a new drill press from my Nephew & Brother in law. Spent most of New Years eve building a stand for it and cleaning out a spot in the shop for it. :Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it over the years.

I REALLY miss my King Ranch. What an awesome vehicle.

Since I'm stuck in a wheelchair now, I'd have to get hand controls. Even more expense. Haven't decided if it's worth it yet. I love the vehicle I have now, but haven't been able to drive it for over 2 years now. May sell it.

Oh sorry to hear that. If you enjoy it, then it's worth it

I received some $ for Xmas this year, so i ordered one of these. First new RC I've purchased in a long time, and by far the most expensive!

Well worth it though Matt. From the reviews and vids I have seen from the guys that got the LMT early it looks and sounds like the best RTR monster truck offered to date. With all my MT's the last thing I need is to buy a new one, but even I'm kicking around the idea of maybe buying it myself this year
