Couldn't get my wood pellet stove going tonight. Hopefully, it's just the blower.

Worked all day yesterday, then at our store for about two and half hours, then a midnight to 4AM maintenance window. Thought I'd get out a little early today. Went and gave the work rig a bath, then pulled around for fuel, and life had other plans. LOL Blended right into the dirty pavement in the sun.

Those damn Chevy parts will get you every time!

Filed my taxes last Saturday and the state refund hit my bank account yesterday!
The rant?
It's almost enough to pay for my license renewals this month...

found a new scruff and small dent on the drivers side back bumper of my truck. most likely happened when parked in front of my house. which is weird because i always back up to the edge of my driveway and nobody can park behind me. so, wtf? only thing i can figure is the trash truck hit it with the arm.

not sure what happened to rctech but it feels half as genuine/organic as it used to be back in 2018 or so, nowadays it just seems to be occupied entirely by racers hellbent to grab whatever the latest and "greatest" race kit there is, and even if someone out there proves whatever new car is barely a smidge faster for twice the price of the current kit, some people on there WILL flock to the new kit anyways the same way investors flock towards anything thats "AI powered" (it does the same thing everyone else has done, but it has AI so it has that extra pizazz - it actually doesn't but people buy into it any way); dont forget the occasional sprinkle of bot activity and barely anyone notices

not even bashing rctech since it's literally the first alternative I found when URC went down, just an observation of how it goes over there

I hear ya. There is a certain % of the population that is just out to be on the latest trend of everything. It's a cultural problem feeling like the newest, most expensive thing is what you must have. I assume based in the idea of the appearance of wealth and success.
The masses would be a lot better off to idolize the guy living a good life with less, rather than trying to pretend they are in the top 1%. Nothing like parking a Ferrari in the trailer park to show everyone you made it.

Why, oh why are there so many choices when you want a servo winch for your 1/10 crawler..!!

ill bash tech all day long. that place. it's been a hemorrhoid licking circle jerk for elitist with more money than brains sense i made my first account there back in 2008. only reason i started using it was because Jang tanked URC (i call BS on it crashing) and RC Universe was circling the drain with more bot posts than user posts. all the URC refugees went to tech and i fallowed with a new (second) user name about a month later. things hit the fan about 2 weeks later because the moderator is a futanari loving megalomaniac. i let it go, then a month or two later got an email from the forum for an account i had made back in 2008 and started using it again cause i had nowhere else to go. anyway long story long, I'm shadow banned over there (user name st_dragn_wagen) and then found this place. so happy ending.

Don't you know California always causes the chaos?

I was on RCTech for a bit when I got into racing because of the track/hobby shop threads and each area/thread on a specific kit but I haven't been on there for like 2 years. Most if not all of the track threads on there, in my region, are dead. Most of them are just facebook groups now. Also I couldn't stand the old school type of forum format. I need a dark mode. Lol.

If I show you a lime green RTR, will you promise to buy it?
