Guess I should do the intro thread here! I see lots of familiar names and lots of new names to! My name is Dean but I got branded the nickname online "Stuff" from some friends back in the day. Anyhow Im in Estevan, Sk, Own my own business working as a contractor for the City. A friend of mine got me into the RC bug when he bought a Heng Long Bulldog tank. Then I had to get one, then two then three then four then i discovered the Tamiya semi trucks. Man that was a big jump from 150 dollar tanks to a 3-400$ truck + all the add ons and motors and radio equipment etc I have put into it! I know when i got it it probably looked better then it does now lol!

It was originally going to be a hauler for my RC tanks. that was the intention anyhow lol
New (to me):

Then I had to paint it and put a light kit in it of course. Got some tires from PMD to:

Then got a bruder trailer and a ton of parts off Joe's RC truck stop and made my first trailer. even has working lights!

Then somehow *cough*mog5858*cough* I got convinced that tandems were the way to go. So back to Joes for some frame rails, and a tandem kit.

Unfortunately the paint never came out how i envisioned it so its back on the back burner now as SKcent made me a Isuzu Elf Cab [that has yet to be painted and installed :( ]
