Amazing people to deal with! Andy was worried the rails wouldn't fit my PoOrigin body so he printed me one that is compatible. Truly top tier stuff! 😍
 
I got a crushed WPL B16 today. Three rims, one leaf spring, two axles, and the front bumper were damaged. I'll file a claim but in the meantime I ordered another one. This is the truck I was planning to strip the body and bed off of to make my rollback truck.
Extra parts. :thumbs-up:🤣

Too bad about the delay!
 
On my scx10 I use that grippy cloth stuff for opening lids then torque the clutch all the way down.
thats a great idea! ill be trying that next time... we ALL know theres gonna be a few nxt times with me lol
 
I received my new Dumbo RC DDF-350 10-ch. transmitter from Aliexpress. I also got an e-mail from FedEx letting me know my Rlaarlo DSK roller is in Illinois and will get to me on Tuesday. :banana:

My DSK roller in the hands of FedEx has gone from Niles, Illinois to Chicago, IL to Independence, Kentucky to Greenwood, Indiana to Indianapolis, IN. It's visited four central-US locations and hasn't even started heading toward NY. What the...?

Great... traveling back and forth so it can get nice and smashed up and arrive late. I hope that's not the case! :oops:

Have YOU been to all those places????

Jeez!!! Jealous much??? :rolleyes:

The gas to drive to all those places would probably cost me nearly as much as the DSK roller itself. I guess I'm getting a bargain in some bizarre way. 🤔

I've spent six months in Indianapolis, two days in Chicago and have driven across the entirety of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. I just don't feel that my DSK needs to do the same! 🙂

I sense a build name.. The S.L.U.T - Shipping Leave U Terrified
 
AliExpress or AliDistress? Which one did you order from again?🤔

Niether... it came direct from Rlaarlo. They got it shipped within their promised time frame and it arrived in the US on time. But it doesn't matter if it came from Shanghai or Sheboygan... FedEx is the one who dropped the ball and has been sending it around in circles. FedEx just updated the arrival date; originally today (Tuesday) and now, Friday.

Nothing like getting all excited about the expected delivery of a new RC purchase and then getting let down by the shipping company. It's like waking up on Christmas morning only to be told that the holiday will be delayed by three days. 😢

I'm in the same boat with 2 packages. I think the long weekend really messed things up but hopefully not too badly.

I am up to my eyeballs with things to do right now anyways. Would be nice to have 2 fewer things to think about and a couple things crossed off the shopping list.



I'm sure your package will show up soon. I was just trying to have laugh about the way shipping seems to go sometimes.

I wasn't really trying to put the delays on the seller or on you. :)
 
I got my raspberry pi... yesterday actually, but it arrived 2 days earlier than expected. Happy about that. This will be the first time playing with one of these, I'm excited.

The plan is to connect it to my HF ham radio, so I can use it as a local network and access my radio remotely from inside our house. Then, I can operate it wherever I want and not be stuck in the garage when we hit those triple digit summer temps.
