AMOSTING S911 35MPH 2.4GHz Remote Control Monster Truck – Red
Okay, okay I do not want to hear any ‘women drivers’ cracks! But, well, I took our new Monster Truck out for its inaugural run and, well, broke a Rear Connecting Rod. Yup. Snapped that puppy right in two. It took me ohhhh about 6 minutes. Thankfully, there are spare parts available on Amazon.

This radio controlled Monster Truck is so much FUN!!! It’s FAST!! 35 miles-an-hour fast! I know that there are RC trucks and cars that go faster, but to me 35 miles-an-hour in a small 1/12 scale truck is pretty darn fast! I was having a blast with this truck!! I admit that I knew nothing about radio control cars and trucks and I did immediately go to FULL SPEED ahead! I raced this puppy like I was a Nascar driver! Had I started out slow and actually learned to control the truck first I wouldn’t have snapped the rear connecting rod.
This truck is lightweight and looks rugged!!
The car body is easily removed by removing 4 small pins. Once the pins are removed, you can unlatch the battery compartment. The battery unsnaps easily. The batteries charge in about 2 hours. The AMOSTING S911 Monster Truck runs for 12 minutes on a charge. You’ll have so much fun you’re going to want to grab more batteries. (And a couple Rear Connecting Rods too! Just sayin’)
The truck can go around 120 feet in seconds. You will also start to lose signal around the same.
The truck is very, very responsive. There’s a lot of torque in that little baby. The throttle and steering are very sensitive so start out slow. (Also don’t give it to ME to test before anyone else!!)
The AMOSTING S911 Monster Truck arrives fully assembled. Most of the truck is made of plastic, which really makes it scream off and of course that means that parts can and will break easily when you slam the truck into a wall.
We took this truck into the dirt, on the sidewalk, into the water and we had SO MUCH FUN!!!
WHINES
I do wish the rear connecting rod was stronger. Or maybe just a big warning sign on the roof of the truck that says “Drive me slow!!” The Husband is just sad he didn’t get to drive it until he repaired it. This truck is super fun!! Repairs or not!

Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨
Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral.
Welcome to my glamorous life.
Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting.
Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past.
This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge.
“Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?”
Poof. Gone.
“That product review with beautifully staged shots?”
Vanished into the ether.
Now posts look like:
Step 1: Do the thing
Step 2: [image missing]
Step 3: Trust me
Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes.
And don’t get me started on the links.
Nothing keeps you humble like clicking a reference and landing on:
Error 404: This business has retired to Florida.
Apparently half the companies I worked with have closed, rebranded, or transformed into something called “Crypto Spoon AI Wellness Collective.” Time is wild.
So here I am, updating old posts like an archaeologist with Wi-Fi. Replacing images. Fixing links. Adding keywords. Whispering sweet nothings to Google like, “Please notice me. I have snacks.”
It’s not glamorous work, but it does make the blog faster, prettier, and easier to find. Which means more crafts, more reviews, more giveaways, and fewer digital tumbleweeds rolling through the pages.
Speaking of goodies…

So if you see me muttering at my laptop and chasing imaginary ghosts with a broom made of metadata, just know I’m not losing it.
I’m “optimizing.”
Which is blogger for: battling invisible spirits, resurrecting broken links, and bribing search engines with fresh content.
Totally normal behavior.

Maybe it should have come with a warning: Connie, read the instructions first!

The farmer’s wife down the road from us uses a remote-control truck to gather her free-range chickens & ducks in at night!
