Things you do when you're bored

Bought this Nikko remote control Ford F150 monster truck off Ebay a few months ago for the pricely sum of a fiver.....Quite big at just under 20" long, a bit battered but fully operational, has a limited slip diff & does about 15mph with a fully charged battery pack....
Anyway, a couple of Sundays ago I really didn't have much to do, so dug it out of the shed & thought the colour & decals looked a bit naff. So decided to do a bit of a 'Pimp My Ride' on it 
A can of satin black spray paint, some flame decals & a couple of layers of laquer & this is how it turned out....
I think it looks pretty cool 
It's a bit sad I know  ....but things you do when you're bored eh .........

Anything nice Mike ?...This one is okay but not very fast & the batteries die pretty quick
Was thinking of upgrading to a fuel powered truck. It'll no doubt cost a bit more than I paid for this one, but I'm willing to go up to maybe a tenner .......

Woj, you reminded me of a fond childhood memory when was in the back of my dads brand new Cortina estate (along time ago) & we were driving along next to a common. There was a guy on the common playing about with a very fast R/C buggy that looked like a Meccano kit.
All of a sudden this buggy came shooting out of the long grass at the edge of the common & straight under the back wheel of the Cortina.......I remember looking out the back window & seeing a load of squished Meccano in the road with a wheel sticking up....& then the car behind us ran it over again

I have a Tamiya TR-15T nitro powered truck...which one day I may get around to running. It was the first nitro kit Tamiya produced and I guess must be about 15-20 years old now. Quite a rare model.
Also have rather too many electric powered models...
