My mother is like 50 or 55 or something and my sister is like 32. Neither of them want jobs and if they get a job they only hold it for like 5 days. They do not want to work. They want scapegoats to success as in fraudulent disability or child support to live.

I on the other hand am solid, have nice things and am doing well. I have a normal life with a normal savings, I am by no means rich but I'm doing okay .

I'm long aways from them. I'm been moved away but they always come to me asking to borrow money.

The only reason they have their house is because my dad gives them money.

Not to mention a whole slew of other things but wow...

I have a sister like that. I feel for you

My sister was like that for a long time, lately she's straightened up a bit, but I still don't trust her much.

Good for you for not falling into or wanting to be part of that parasitic lifestyle, JO!

After all the hassle getting ahold of the now discontinued Pro-Line Pinto body for an upcoming build, I finally find one on Amazon. They use a two piece mold, sectioned across the top of the hood in the front. The idiot that molded this one had the front section twisted about 1mm on each side, so the front part on the right side of the hood has about a 1mm step down, and a 1mm step up on the left side. Not even sure I want to use the damn thing because I know it's going to look awful unless I can somehow hide it with a paint design. So pissed right now.

Hey @Serea71 the curse works... Just so you know, I was never amused by your defect struggles.

Guess ill just wing it and order 2 for the price + shipping. gonna be stupidly expensive for 2 tiny fans but hopefully they're reliable. Bc my stock spec g2 in the wheeler I checked the logs today and my last couple sessions the esc got up to 140-160F and yea i aint risking that. The OEM included fan blew up last year while running in a race. so I'm running without one. (wasn't due to a electrical issue more like mechanical) Also because its a 20x20x8mm fan and theres not a ton out there besides what I linked above. Hobbywing has a replacement but it is sold out and its a 5v one from the G1 esc. the G2 esc uses 6v stock. (I wonder if its a regulated fan port or if its direct BEC voltage bc i just upped it to 7.4 since i did a servo swap) I contacted HW service a few months ago and they sent me a link to their 25mm fan for the ezrun systems and I'm like no that won't fit. 25mm fan is too big to fit that esc bc 1, doesn't line up with screw locations, 2 hangs over and covers the power button and 3 if i use the fan port on the esc since it hangs over it will bend those pins.
Wish brands can just use whats popular bc 20mm fans are hard to come by.
Thats my rant. stressful.

Nevermind on that linked site. They want 34 dollars to ship it!!! Just for 1 Fan!!!! Highly don't recommend that site. Bc its in Hong Kong Donkey Kong country.
Guess ill risk my esc overheating. Bc stupid hobbywing decided to use a odd ball 20mm fan that you cannot find anywhere besides the official HW replacement but its for the G1 (5v) not the g2 (6v) plus on backorder both AMain and HW Direct

Ideally if someone can find or make or print a adapter to fit a 25mm fan id like it (@luke66 brought up the idea)

When my PC guy comes back from vaca ill be texting him to see what he can do and it'll prob be cheaper.

Lol. This isn't like that. My 67 Mustang body had the same mold line. But it wasn't bad. This one is so bad you can see it from 20 feet away. There is also a bad wrinkle molded into the lexan, right on top of the car above where the driver would be.

I can't believe they let something like that go out the door.

I'm hoping they don't make me send it back. It would cost me about $20 to do so, since the UPS store is on the opposite side of town, and it would take my friend about an hour to come here and get it and drop it off there. It's garbage anyway, so I don't know what good it would do for them to get it back.

I think the only thing doable would be shoegoo and sand then vinyl wrap it. A damn shame they do stuff like this.

If I do anything with it, it will just be a quick paintjob to use as a basher body. Wonder how a Bandit based SCT would look with a Pinto body

interesting, can't get youtube to load without turning my ad blocker off.

 

[DavidB1126]

I tried that before and forced me to turn it off to watch the video so no surprising. If you want ad fee you have to pay like what 12 or so bucks for premium it's insane.
