The "What did you buy today?" thread...

[Doom!]

@cdstatz Used to buy all my aircraft batteries from Hobbyking. They do have some decent stuff sometimes.

-----------------------
Nothing to do with Hobby King but I picked up an Arrma 6S Typhon V5 for about $100.00 less than retail, brand new in box. Technically it came Monday, but I didn't get a chance to Open it until tonight. It will compliment my V4 perfectly.

Anyone buy from Hobbyking??? they are having a sale on Hobbywing stuff. I ended up getting the Fusion 1800 for only $105.... we'll see how this goes.... almost to good to be true. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbywi...ystem-for-rock-crawlers-w-integrated-esc.html

Greatly impressed with hobbyking... ordered the Fusion 1800 on Thursday afternoon and have it in my grubby little hand this afternoon.... no shipping and no taxes.... headed back to grab 2 more for friends

I've been feeling that way about a surpass/rocket 4985 1650kv for my kraton exb... only have 2 or 3 bash sessions on the 4092 I have in there, but even that left me wanting and I'm pretty sure if I try and gear it higher than 19T, it's going to run hot. I have the 4092 in my outcast as well and it's a handful, but the kraton really tamed it down.

Maybe the 4092 will fit in a v2 maxx... lol!

Got one of those cheap drift RCs I've been seeing YouTubers talk about. Kinda cool, kinda lame. The stock electronics are meh.

New helping hands.

I was really considering getting that truck, for a couple of weeks, but I already have a number of those no name Chinese mini rc racing rigs that I hardly use. So, I just can't justify it. It is cool though.

I just took delivery on a very similar "helping hand" just an hour ago. Funny thing was, I was just getting ready to solder some wires and remembered the Amazon tracking says delivery was for today. I checked my phone, and sure enough, it said it was just dropped off.
Took only 5 minutes to take out of the box and fully assemble it. The base is very hefty and all seems to be pretty well built.
I put it to use, immediately, right after it was assembled. Worked great! Man, I wished I had gotten one of these years ago.

I think I'm too used to nice RCs I have that I have too high of expectations. The esc and motor combo are very sluggish imo. If you want a moderately fast drift rc, it would be great.


They're pretty nice honestly. The base has plenty of weight.

My "helping hands" is currently being used to suspend my heavily brassed Scx24 Deadbolt while it is charging.

And you had the nerve to comment on @WickedFog resting his on a shock stand? The hypocracy of it all!

Dude, they are called "helping hands"!

Now, go fix your shocks so you stop driving in circles!

Now if you boys can't get along, I will force you to send me your 24s and you can sit in the corner.

@Xraycer started it!!!!

 

[Tunedfrog]

I bought the wheels/tires and a wing mount for my E-revo build.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I also bought my non-resident Oregon fishing license and evasive species permit for the kayaks. That all cost me $170 bucks.

You better get out there and get your money's worth!

 

[WickedFog]

I'll take two large Walleye, a couple Salmon, and let's see... what would be a pain in the butt? A Pike! Yeah, one of those. Send me one of those too
