I'm only good at moderation on social media. Although i have never used Offerup, i have probably spent enough on eBay and Amazon to buy several brand new RC's. I prefer used though, because i like to tinker a lot, so, ill buy a used slider, and then try different things with it, like different...

It can be, if you let it get that way. I know people who it seems like they live on social media. Me, on the other hand, i only use it for the local RC group periodically, Marketplace when I'm on the hunt for something, which isnt often, and messenger to chat with my brother because he is 19...

Is there a known reason why people get the deer in the headlights look around RC cars? Or, is it just me? I recently clocked my self in the head watching my Slash off a jump, yet again. I can't seem to learn not to stand in front of my cars when I'm running them. Recently, i glued 3 of my fingers...

I have heard that before. It always seemed the old 2WD Arrma were hit or miss. I have had a total of 6 of them, 3 Fury's, 2 Raider XL's and a Granite, and i never seemed to have any real issues with them, except for the diffs, so i switched them all to ball diff's. However, i have seen a few of...

Arrma now only makes the 1/7TH Scale Mojave 4X4, but, they used to make a Mojave that was basically a twin to the Fury with a different paint scheme. It had the same LWB 2WD Fury/Raider chassis. The Mojave/Raider XL and Fury were on a LWB chassis, and the original Raider/Vorteks and Granite were...

Actually, other than the ball diff from the Blitz, literally every other part, from the smallest, up to and including the complete chassis, and even the aluminum side plates, in at least 2 different colors, are still available. Even though that design was discontinued here in the states, it was...

The Fury i am always keeping an eye out for parts and trucks (the original 2WD Raider, Mojave, Granite and Fury) all share parts between them. Any of the older 2WD Arrma stuff with this chassis: with or without the metal side plates, is basically the same vehicle. As foir the Racers Edge...

I freely admit that i did some really dumb stuff growing up, especially in my teen years, but, thankfully, I've outgrown most of it. I have several vintage and discontinued vehicles, and, sometimes, sourcing parts is at best a minor hunt, and, at worst, turns into a, it will never be fixed...

Drilling my parents counter is, honestly, minor compared to some of the dumb, i didnt think and was in a hurry, or just didnt think in general, stuff i have done at their house, like, trying to jump bicycles off the garage roof, going through the roof, and landing on my dads freshly painted dirt...

I have a new one to add to this. I was drilling a new SCT body for my Arrma 3S hybrid project, on the nearly new $1500 granite counter top at my parents, and cracked the very corner of the counter when the bit caught it. Luckily, the guy who did the counter was able to fix it somehow, but it...

HW stuff you can run lipo batteries with the ESC in NIMH mode, but, alot of the cheap Chinese ones wont do that, especially if they are the under $20 ones. This is the one my original Volcano came with...

It was an older Redcat ESC, before they went to rebranded HW stuff. I also had one from HobbyKing that acted the same way.

I could write a book about all the dumb stuff i have done. Some of the highlights include plugging in the servo and ESC in the wrong spot on the receiver and having a truck take off when i turned the wheel on the radio, accidently hitting the steering reverse switch on the radio and taking a...
