The present for my birthday was delivered to me this Wednesday. I was very delighted that it all (from ordering in from the USA to delivering delivery to my post office) takes took only one week and cost no taxes was tax free. So I unpacked the parcel, checked it, took a lot of pictures and published them on my R/C forums and then wrapped it into nice wrapping paper. Now I have to wait until Saturday when we will celebrate my birthday and I will get this present. I will be very surprised, of course. And because I also bought a tool kit (as a present from my wife) I will be able to begin assemble assembling my Venom Creeper crawler without delay. But I will need yet another five packages because this kit is only a chassis without electronics.

I had to choose a present for my birthday. I thought a long time ago about another type of off-road R/C car. I wanted an R/C car with an electric motor, because it is very silent (in comparison with my nitro monster truck). I was deciding between car for crawling or for trial. Crawlers have better permeabilityperformance in difficult terrain but looks awfully. Trial cars have worse permeabilityperformance but it isthey are scale models so they looks famously great. It is close to the facts more realistic with a lot of details like bumper stickers, a winch on cowls the hoods, a spare tire on body tails the back and a shovels and a fire-extinguisher on grids the roofs. I had been deciding thinking about it three days when I chose the crawler Venom Creeper crawler in red modification trim. I ordered it on eBay yesterday morning and it was shipped yesterday afternoon. So now I have to wait for couple of weeks.

My RC monster truck is not useful for slow tactical driving. I ought to buy another type of RC car, a crawler or a trial car. Both types are powered by an electric motor. A crawler is able to drive in more difficult ground, but it looks like a spider, although it has a vehicle body. A trial car is more realistic, made in scale of an existing cross-country car. I had better buy a trial car, preferably a Toyota Land Cruiser 40, the newest trial model of Tamiya. It is also a kit like my monster truck was, so I may put it together by myself. I think that assembling is more interesting than driving, but driving is more fun that assembling.
