The Daily Rant Thread

Since when. I used PP on ebay less than a week ago.

Yeah, you can still pay for stuff on eBay using PayPal, it's just when you sell you have to link your checking account as that is now the only way you can receive money from eBay sales.

Oh yeah- That's correct. I haven't sold in a while. You are right.

I 100% used the attached PP link on Ebay's payment page. It linked, it sent me a verification code, it srnt my address to the seller, indicating its paid for in Ebay's accounting...
I don't understand.
And its with 4 vendors, not just the guy with the auction so I'm still a bit baffled.
I was bidding against someone who tried to outbid at the last second.
Instead of it just saying "Congrats you won" or "You were outbid" I got,
"Please wait, we're verifying bidding"
Then after a few, I won.
Is there some way to contest when you loose on ebay?
This is the ONLY thing I can come up with!

This isn't much of a rant, but more of question. Is there a thread, on RCTalk, where racers can go and get tech tips, or ask questions, or share ideas, etc...

Sounds like there should be

RCTalk, where racers can go and get tech tips, or ask questions, or share ideas, etc...

Uhhmm. Not really. We kinda just take over our own or other peoples threads. If I someone, or I makes a new thread about a product, us later on in the future or other people can respond to it.
Kinda need something like RCTech, any new car that comes out, theres a main thread about it and people share setups and questions on that kit. Mostly racers though over there while over here we got everything RC. But most of the time, we just start new threads. Like I probably have like 3 or 4 threads about the same thing lol.

I usually spend more time at RCtech for that reason. However, it's nice to have a different atmosphere, and it's getting pretty dead over there.

 

[DavidB1126]

and it's getting pretty dead over there.

Yea. Joined this forum first and then I joined over there on RCTech. Was on there for a little bit but its dead. Its just strictly RC stuff. Unlike over here we got a chaos section. Fun stuff like build threads and showcases. Media section. More user friendly overall. RCTech style is a bit old school.

 

[Speed Chaser]

Well, so far, I have not gotten into an argument with a mod on here. That is already a win over RCTech, where I had several of my favorite threads taken down without warning. Heck, I am still salty about my car thread being taken down.

Now you have to tell me what it was about.

There's a chaos section here? Where can I find that? RCTech has the Basement Lives Matter thread to add all the chaos. Problem is, there are people there that are extremely sensitive and like to snitch.

All under general chaos. We ain't sensitive. Sometimes it gets pretty wild

I hate end links and I hate steering links, adjusting them is the bane of my existence with the tools I have right now

I start twisting it gets longer, twist same direction it’s starting to get shorter??? how does this make any sense my toe is all messed because of it

Most tie rods have left handed threads meaning they turn in a different direction. Most of the rods/turnbuckles have a little notch on the side indicating which direction it turns, and I like to put that to the left of the car so I know what direction they are going in. And if you don't have this tool already, protek makes a ball cup wrench and it makes assembling turnbuckles so much easier. But not sure if it's for the tekno or not. But I use it on my AE buggy and works perfectly.

Edit:
Yep it works with the tekno
