    Best use for a rechargable tool battery EVER!

    So, the wife and I were out and about today and she mentioned Sears Harware in passing (this is after a rather lame Harbor Freight sidewalk sale). I told her that I saw that they had a remote control truck that works with my C-Man C3 system batteries, and as usual, she says I should get it.

    Lemme tell you, this IS the coolest accessory for the system. It's 1/10th scale I believe and this little truck scoots! It says it goes 18 M.P.H. Now, I'm almost 43 years old and I tell ya, I felt lilke a little kid out there playing in the street zoomin up and down the road. I have 4 batteries for my tools and I could go non-stop all day with this thing. It's built pretty rugged, it has trim knobs for the throttle and steering and it comes with 2 crystals if you want to race your buddy (I'ma gonna get me another one!).

    I love my C3 tool set, and this little truck just made it that much sweeter!

    Oh yeah, and a little stealth gloat. I picked up this C-Man planer a couple weeks ago. Scratch-n-Dent model for $175, works flawlessly. I built a little stand for it and proceeded to plane my workbench top (basically 2 12" wide, 6' long, 3" thick slabs taken down to 2 1/2"). Never hesitated, bogged down or complained. Although I got a wee bit of snipe due to my in/outfeed tables not being set properly. It's missing the dust collector bag, but I wouldn't have used it anyway.

    Nice truck, looks like fun!

    Yes, even we adults like our toys. My wife has bought me an RC backhoe which the guys in the network group love since I have a hunk of fiber hanging from the bucket. She also got me an RC blimp a couple years ago, fill it with helium and it cruises all over. It is best to keep it away from ceiling fans DAMHIK.
