I just put some of those HR extensions on my BigRock and I love them. Paired with the proline badlands it really turned into a different truck. Nice haul my brother.

Yes that's what mine are for. Can't wait for them to arrive.
 
Here's my Christmas build that's still in progress. All the tough stuff is done, but there's still a handful of things left to do (including the body which I haven't picked out yet).

This is a Tekno Truggy that I've converted into a monster truck. Tekno chassis and foundation. RC4WD wheels and hex adapters. JConcepts Firestorm tires.

Current measurements:
Width: 19 in
Wheelbase: 15.2 in
Length: 21 in
Distance between insides of wheels measured from side to side: ~10.5 in (this measurement is important when choosing a body)

I could shorten the wheelbase to make it better fit 1/10 scale Monster Truck bodies, but I probably won't. I'm most likely going to get a 1/10 scale Monster Truck body that easily allows me to cut the wheel well such that I can lengthen the wheelbase a bit.

Bodies I'm considering:

Let me know if you have any body suggestions for this build.

Im happy with what I have received from my wife and kids! They saw how much fun I was having with my kraton 8s that they decided to incorporate that into my Christmas.

2. A new set of work boots!
3. A Steelers stocking cap, a terrible towel, and a watch

No Rc stuff, but I got some amazing new wearables. A Helly Hansen parka, Quicksikver jacket and flannel shirt, North Face hiking boots, Adidas shoes and some Oakley half Flak jacket sun glasses. Since I buy rc stuff year round, my family needed to make sure I still have what I need so I'm not out bashing naked in the cold?.
 
ok well here it actually is:

- Some eau de toilette
- pair of sneakers (actually pretty nice Superdry)
- T-shirt (branded)
- Cap to go with it (branded)
- Set of new suitcases - large and cabin size
- cash to splash on something (I probably know where this is going ...)
- a few Star Wars metal models to build (I already own quite a few, pain to build but look nice)
- toilet seat motion lights (taking a piss on my home automation in the house)

all in all not too bad
 
Mine and my two boys! Our first RCs... Took them to our local school and ran thru a couple battery packs. Woooooooow! I'm in love! This kraton is so fun, fast and strong... Flipped, rolled, tumbled and held up like a champ. Even found a nice pile of dirt to launch it off, downhill.... Was getting a solid 20 feet of distance. I realize that's not much compared to the videos I've watched on here, but it was so fun!!! Batteries are on the charger so we can head back out lol

No pics but I did receive a few things that I am really happy about/grateful for, ....set of MIP allen key drivers (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5mm), several PS4 games, some Saga Custom pinion gears, Futaba R2006GS receiver and an ESC mount.
Both the latter items are for my Limitless build so a few more pieces of the puzzle. ;)
 
I treated myself to these paradigm signature s6 towers. They are used and I got them for a decent price. The matching centre will be here next week. I like my music and home theatre. I’m currently running a Dolby atmos 5.2.4 config. Don’t know if anyone else here is into HT
