@WickedFog I hate when you wait for something, just to have it wrong when it arrives!

Yeah, they gave me $4 off a $10 item that I fixed in 5 minutes, so it's all good. But how they made the thing like that just baffles me. On a side note - my printer is printing beautifully again. In fact, I think better than it ever has.

Picked up a Castle 3800kv motor

Castle 2200kv... Post office really did a number on the shipping box. At least it wasn't an ESC lol

Gravity fed .5mm Badger Airbrush

Found a set of LST2 big bore threaded aluminum Shocks. Ill probably try and make em work on my Savage X SS one of these years when I get around to building it. lol

Also got a Challenger Hellcat body to use on my drift car. Gonna try and make it look exactly like my 1:1

I think I have 3 Badger air bushes at home, the oldest is from about 1985 or so.

I have .3 gravity fed Iwata and a .5 Syphon feed Iwata but I didnt have a .5 Gravity feed. I know Badger is supposed to at least be a decent brand and I picked it up for like half the price of an Iwata so I figured Ill give it a shot.

The Badger line is really second only to Iwata. Unless you conider the really high end automotive brands that are like $500+. Nice airbrush!

Some may be nicer, but Badger is the only one I find comfortable in my hand. I've had to change a few seals over the years but they are reliable.

My first one was a Badger. That thing sprayed mud if I wanted it to. Really good airbrush.

I picked up this DK4 from Blaze RC for my daughter (and as a test mule for some of my electronics setups). It has Xray plastics on it, based on what I believe is the ‘16 XB4. In the pictures it’s next to a 2021 XB4D. First impressions are good, quality looks excellent. It comes with the rally body and off-road body. I’m looking forward to getting it finished and on to the test track.

Nice fleet!

CNHL 9500mAh 4s pack for my 4/6s speed run Typhon. Hoping this helps keep my voltage sag down better then the 5000mAh pack I'm running nowView attachment 132844

Thats one heck of a battery!!!

Good to know!

I've not airbrushed enough to know to much of anything about them other than everyone raves about Iwata. Thats why I got the first 2. Picked em up for a good price used off of a guy that was getting out of the hobby. Dont know what I like and dont like yet so I guess we shall see. I've been waiting for Faskolor to start shipping paints again to buy some but they still arent selling anything so I may start looking at pactra or proline or something.

I buy all my Faskolor from https://slotcarstore.net/

Thanks for the link. You told me about this place before but my first 2 bodies I wanted to paint were gonna be metal flake pearl schemes and I can't find the faspearl or fasglitter colors I want. They dont have em either. I might just go with different colors or a different brand. Not sure. The painting is on hold right now anyway cuz I'm working on other projects so I'm just waiting to see if Faskolor starts selling again.

I am building my Xmaxx using the green theme so to speak and I searched all over the place for green Xmaxx shocks until a day or two ago I found two sets at Jennys. On the way... and yes, I bought the two sets to complete a set of four.
I was afraid they weren't going to be there Wednesday when I get paid. So, the wife said just get them and I bought them at a really decent price.

Good stuff! goona look awesome!

Thanks wolf. I really like the green on the Xmaxx. I was going to paint my own but decided to go with the factory body.
I've looked for a month for green shocks and finally found these at Jennys RC.

You are going to have that rig built in no time!

 

[Tunedfrog]

That's what I'm afraid of lol. Then I'll have Outcast 8s parts to worry about hahaha.
The ordering is actually going to slow down after this next order in a week, Christmas is coming and that usually takes it all.

Same here, but fortunately the only person I have to buy for leaves his toys here, and he wants RC's

 

[Tunedfrog]

That's cool, more time for the both of you.
I have 13 grandkids I have to buy for. Tough when we are on a fixed income.

Yeah, I bet. Well, at least it will give me time to catch up

I actually am keeping some back til the USA-1 VE comes out. Hoping to get that one for his Xmas present. But if it comes out next month like I am hoping I don't know if I can keep it hidden that long. That would be super tough!

 

[Tunedfrog]

LOL no doubt, I would be more concerned, dad can't keep a secret. lol
