so i saw Team Bluegroove makes a Kyosho Hi-Rider Corvette body and now i need to say off ebay. been looking at 2wd stampedes for the last half hour thinking of making a knockoff. like i already don't have enough cars and enough projects and a lack of space to keep them.

I have that same problem.

 

[DavidB1126]

I think we can all agree with that

I have that same problem.

So its rainy and a bit foggy and DARK. I'm following a car and a car is approaching from behind.
The approaching car has its beams on.
It pulls behind me and does not dim until another car passes in the other direction.
Then, THEY TURNED THEM BACK ON.
They were not impressed with the braking speed of the Focus nor were they happy when I pulled behind them and returned the favor.
WTF is wrong with ppl???

I hate stupid people. You're not supposed to drive with your high beams on in the fog anyway. It just makes it harder to see.

Drivers are getting worse by the hour around here.
I'm ready to turn my license. I don't enjoy driving any more. I sold my Harley for the same reasons.
I think I'm about ready to move about 7 hours north to where if you drive like that, a logging truck will simply erase you.
I wonder how many r/c tracks there are on the Canadian border.

You asking about the people in the back, or the people who were in the back?

The goal is to DE-escalate!

Sometimes, with stupid drivers, they only learn by getting a taste of their own medicine.

If this escalated, it would be because I behaved in the exact same manor in which they behaved.
Hopefully it woke them the heck up to their rude and dangerous driving habits.

You need one of these. But with a more appropriate message, like scrolling across the screen.

More appropriate message indeed! Think you can guess the one I would have used tonight?

 

[CertifiedMike]

Do these things scroll?
Like could I have it scroll

Status report...

You're tailgating me... checked.

You have you high beams on... checked.

BRAKES!!!! CHECKED!

Yeah, they scroll

Yeah, they scroll

I'm CERTAIN that my first "message" would be to an unmarked state cop having a bad day!

 

[DavidB1126]

Very eerie

When I buy stuff from a local shop (hobby or other) my stuff never gets delayed shipping, lost in transit, or stolen off the porch.

And once every few years, I ask about a product I have read about, and the sales people tell me "we do not sell that thing / brand because it is crap."

I know that to many of you "local hobby shop" might be a few hundred miles, so you have no choice.

 

[DavidB1126]

Can't believe it's been like 6 months already since they got the ship and everything cleaned up and they still haven't started building or tearing down anything yet. It won't be done by 2028 if they haven't started yet

My buddy doesn't stock Traxxas anymore since Traxxas told him to sell xx amount of their batteries and chargers a year but he doesn't get the people in to buy that kind of stuff and he doesn't want to ruin his customers over with bad batteries/chargers. He said no and ain't dealing with them again.
