X'mas presents for the wife/girlfriend, that you can use for RC Cars.
Here are a couple of gift ideas for the women in your life that score browny points and are usefull for RC Car Racing.
Digital Kitchen Scales are always a winner and very usefull when getting your cars weight down. Just make sure you wait a couple of weeks after Christmas before you weigh your cars. Don't, I repete DON'T use it on Christmas day as she will figure out what you really bought it for. Trust me on this one!
Nail Files. These are brilliant for filing those little slots in Carbon Fibre, e.g. battery slots etc Make sure you buy a packet with a few in it as the CF makes them black & she will freak out. Trust me on this one as well.
Kitchen Accessory shops sell a Lid remover which looks a bit like a oil filter remover (for real cars). These are good for gluing tyres as they wrap arround the tyre holding the shape as it drys & fit any sized tyre. Again don't let her see you use it!
Tupperware is always a winner with the ladies. It come in a range of sizes and is excellent for storing all those loose parts we accumulate over the years. They are see through which makes finding parts easy.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas, from a sensitive new aged guy, well thats what she thinks anyway!

Talked my wife in spending $300 for a RC bag. Hopefully it gets here before Christmas
VWO mentioned something that he was planning on getting that can double up as a bearing cleaner

the ultimate gift
My wife and I have an agreement: I get gadgets and she gets jewelry. Very simple.
So here's a great one. Get an Ultra-sonic cleaner. I got one from Jaycar. They are about $100. Tell her you got it so that you can clean all her jewelry. It does a bang up job!
Works great for cleaning RC parts, bearings, drive parts, etc.
My wife calls ours the "flux capacitor"

managed to pass the Turbo35BL as a universal charger for any battery around the house.....tv remotes, kids toys, torches etc....
lots of AA rechargables were bought(highest milliamps) reason: they last longer on kids toys,torches, tv remotes etc
