that's my rant for today thanks for readMy wife and I decided the same thing. We love our boy but he's a 175lb. Boat anchor. He's amazing and we'll miss him dearly and we love dogs but we would also love to travel before we get too old and unfortunately that's very difficult when you have a dog, or any animal for that matter. I don't even like to think about when his time with us is over right now but that's a fact of life and we've decided that's it after him
Early Leopard motors are known for debonding magnets. They do not like heat at all… whatever cheap glue they use just falls apart beyond 160°f. You have to gear them really really conservatively if you want them to last.Well I seen this daily rant thread and decided to throw in a bitch about an esc/motor combo I bought 2 yrs. ago that ended up being complete garbage. It was my first year at outdoor racing and I wanted to get a motor/esc that would be cheap enough for a rookie to beat up but also half ass competitive too. My lhs owner suggested a skyrc leopard esc and 3700kw motor, so I got him to order it in and when it came I installed it and when I went to practice on Saturday before the races started made it about2 laps and all seemed well and then all of a sudden it just stopped working.a Marshall brought it back to the pit area and I took the body off my sc10 and Holy poop!!! The f@*ing end cap of the motor with the pinion attached was still bolted to the mount but the rest of the motor was not!!!! How in the holy hell does this even happen?!?! And how can they sell this crap as a race ready combo, to make matters worse the esc lasted about a month with another motor when it just started chattering, I tried different motors and it still did it so I know it was the esc!!! Complete garbage. And for all you folks that are thinking why didn't you take it back on the warranty, I tried but the company that they ordered from said it was a discontinued combo and would not be warrantied. So I guess it's a triple rant really. Crap motor/esc combo , poop company warranty service and I'm kinda also a bit upset at my lhs for recommending and selling it to me. Thankfully I don't live in that town or race anymore so I don't have to worry about going through the same thing again. Fingers crossed
Sorry to hear, feeling guilty is just as bad as feeling sick, but you can't help when your sick, feel better.I throw’d up at work last night. I hate puking… it’s one of my least favorite human responses. Calling out for tonight was a miserable experience since I’m on nights and the one other person that can cover my shift refuses overtime. He’s well within his rights to do so… but, there’s a limited number of us that can actually do the job that we do. The in field operators can’t do this job without extensive training and licensing… so in a way we are held to a higher standard. But oh well…
One of the other shift engineers that works days is going to destroy his sleep schedule and work two days of nights. I’m extremely grateful… I’ve had to do exactly what he did. I know how it feels and I feel bad for him. At least I have a couple days off… just wish it was for better circumstances
Buy that man a case of beer, cigars, gift card to a steakhouse, whatever. Yeah, switching sleep schedules like that is rough man. Helluva guy.I throw’d up at work last night.

Not when it’s a terrarium.You know drain holes go in the floor, not in the roof, right?
LOL I'm not moving into a new home, just switching everyone's rooms since my sister has had the largest one for like 3 years now, and suddenly accepted she's only there 2 days a week. By pure coincidence she happens to be on vacation with my mom, so me and dad get to enjoy all of the process of moving furniture from different floors, painting rooms and window frames, while having to take breaks every 15 minutes or we meltYou know drain holes go in the floor, not in the roof, right?
Sounds like you could build a track in Sis' room and she'd never know!LOL I'm not moving into a new home, just switching everyone's rooms since my sister has had the largest one for like 3 years now, and suddenly accepted she's only there 2 days a week.

I had a pull-up bar in my previous room, but my dad wanted one as well, so he gets it and I got another oneView attachment 245041
My largest reason to switch rooms is so I can move all my RCs from the living room, since the hobby has been expanding quite a bit for the past three years
I'm drenched walking out to the truck then to tge shop. And I have a 3 foot high yard to mow.
