Herbie Truck is just that …its Herbie the Love Bug meets Monster Truck. Herbie is a Losi 1/18 scale LST2 rc that is battery powered and runs about 15 -20 mph. Caleb got Herbie truck for a birthday present a couple of years ago, it originally cane with a blue truck body but Rach and I decided to get the VW body and paint it to look like Herbie. Caleb really enjoys driving Herbie around as you will see in the short videos that follow. The good thing about Herbie is that he is completely fixable so anything that breaks can be repaired for a really cheap price. This is NOT a Wally World rc it came from a rc hobby store and is slightly more expensive. I got Caleb this because I have Herbie’s big brother that runs on nitro methane and will do about 45 mph…mine is the Losi 1/8 scale LST2  but anyway here is a pic and some videos….if you wanna see more videos my screenname on youtube is full maxx1 might I suggest the Losi LST2 – Just messing around or losi lst2 & mini videos 2011-01-30_15-06-23_63

Below are a few pictures of what appears to be a auto junk yard.When Rachel and I first started dating I told her I use to build model cars…1/25th scale. I’m sure your thinking of the Wal-mart and K-mart/ Roses $5 dollar models, well we started with one of those and we bought paint and glue and the whole nine yards. After completing it Rachel seemed to like doing it so we continued . I had always wanted a Ferrari model like the Magnum PI that I had as a kid …well not only did we find and complete this car we also found a lot of other Ferrari’s, however they were not the cheap-o models they were between $30-50 each and were a lot more detailed than the cheap-o’s. Well after finding out about Caleb’s arrival we dis continued the model construction, anyway Caleb has talked me into having them and this is the result…good thing is they are all repairable and Caleb and I will begin reconstruction in the near future. Here are the pictures…2011-01-23_19-43-06_5942011-01-23_19-43-16_572011-01-23_19-44-13_7432011-01-23_19-44-03_166
