Good to hear you’re keeping fit and enjoying your hobby at the same time! I haven’t done much work on my model for months now but like to see what others are up to!


Stay healthy!

Hi Stuw;


It's so nice of you to make such a good and hearty comment as the above.
Without a good health,no hobby life,not to mention a fruitful life.!!
Then, what should I do to lead a healthy life..... It's an exercise for me at least and it must be routine.!
This is,of course, not only an element to keep a healthy life though....
My life is as seen below,for example....
1;Routine training twice a week like to run one hour or 8.5km each time
2;Attending Marathon race 21.195km in this pic to motivate keeping routine trainings twice a week.
  Its been over 10 years since I was 61.
3/4/5;My Jeep Gladiator 1/10 also could succeed in finishing very long run.!!  This 18.7km run is the longest record of my RC car.


How about your case to keep a healthy life ?

2;It's a breeze to overpass for this crawler,needless to say.!
3;"Attention,pit viper!" but sleeping now....Of course,I never got into the bushes at all though..!
4;Metasequoia trees are seeing down my car....
5;Comparatively warm by sunshine good for walking with my crawler and ...?
6;This time,bamboos are seeing down...
7;Off-road cruising in the forest
8;Observing the wild birds

Hi all;
It was really really hot day with air temperature 38 degree c(100 degrees F) at low mountainous area about 100miles north of Tokyo.
The place was selected this time for my 1/10 Jeep gladiator's trail run and it is also near the very famous hot springs.
I enjoyed the trail run ,dishes at the hotel as well as good bathing in the hot spring.


1/2/3;trail run
4;took a rest in the course
5;He was swimming smoothly,not drowning!!,and repeated to cross the river cheerfully since it was so hot a weather!!
6;Crossing the green field cheerfully ??
7;the summer retreat hotel we stayed.  Very calm except some cheerful singing birds.


It was one happy days in the summer retreat with a 1/10 Jeep gladiator.!! [size=78%] [/size]

I’d heard it’s been very hot in Japan last few days! Good to see you’re still motoring!

Hi all and Stuw,
It's been a very and very long time since I last posted here.
It's the very time to care for this Jeep Gladiator since it has been sleeping on its bed about 1.5 years..!!!   like your boats in the sheds ..??
Therefore, I have checked carefully for a long run to take place as the first in the past 1.5 years.
No trouble was found at all in the function test in which 2-speed gear shifting that I installed after the purchase of
the RTR kit was the main point to take care about.
Not only lipo batteries but also my body has been fully charged with as much as energy for the long cruising in the field.!


Now, everything is OK and shall I go out somewhere to walk for a long run for my good health for my happy hobby life ?!

Yeah, definitely - and the model is looking forward to the run too - look at those happy faces on the red towing shackles (photo 3) 


Cheers,


Ray.

Hi Ray,
Certainly Yes!  the parts really look red faces that I didn't notice at all.!!!!
They also appear smiling with swollen faces.


Thanks for your interesting comment.

And I did a long walk for about 3 hours in a very large park 40km northeast of my home.
My wife also enjoyed the bird and plant observation sufficiently in a quiet park this day despite of a warm weather.
The Winter Sweet has begun to open already though it's not spring yet....


I shared a happy time with my wife and RC car for over half a day including driving a real car in a rural district.
I wonder how you usually share a happy and common time with your wife or partner and RC models...??
