When I first started looking at crawlers I couldn't believe the amount of money some people were spending on them. Now that I have put in a little time with my Ready to Run truck and tearing it apart, rebuilding it, and then tearing it apart again I have discovered there is just as much if not more fun in the actual building of the truck as driving it. With that being said, I decided to go all out with the new rig. I had been looking on RC4WD.com at aluminum rims for crawlers. It may be a little excessive but none the less it is sweet! I picked out a pair of rims that I wanted and then last week saw them on eBay for $40 less than the website. So I bid, and I won. I was super excited, so Mary took interest in my excitement and asked what I had won. I told her new wheels for my new crawler. Then I told her it saved me about $45 bucks. This made her wheels turn and she asked what they retailed for. I replied - $110. She was shocked! Then an hour later she over heard me talking to Chris about them. When I told Chris I had found the tires I wanted Mary stepped in. Apparently I wasn't clear when I said "wheels". Not done intentionally but none the less she was more shocked. Haha... She has now come to terms with my addiciton and is supporting me more than ever in the new build! Check out the wheels:
(tires not included, haha...)
I have been making a list of new parts and even got some on order. I will post them soon!
