Too duckin funny. I want one.

 

[Smilinbri]

Yes he is flipping the bird. I love that duck

[Kimmie28]

I got it off Amazon by searching for the duck shop or ducks in the window. It's a great little duckie. I put servo tape on the bottom to hold him in place on my dash

Very nice. I've noticed the price dropping on the Dr10 very rapidly

For $99 I just couldnt help myself. I have electronics. although I think the fastest motor I have at this point is a 5.5T. Little higher than Id like but I sold my 4.5T Tekin eliminator to WickedFog cuz I didnt think Id end up with two drag cars lol. My Drag Race Concepts Maxim is getting my 2.5T Trinity Holeshot motor. The DR10 will probably just get a nice body and end up a shelf queen. if thats the case I may slap the Exotech Vader chassis on it at some point. we'll see.

I love my MIPs, especially being made in the good ole US of A......but wanted to try some others too. Saw a couple people highly recommend Wega, so thought I'd try some. Can never have too many tools!

 

[WickedFog]

I love Wera stuff. I used to have some of their tools, but was kinda forced to sell all my machinist tools when I became disabled.

I jumped on that deal too also picked up the green RTR. Being my first drag car thought I'd learn on the RTR and then build the kit. We'll see how it goes.

Bought spray paint shelter and a table to put it on. This is probably the start of another money pit.

I didn't but I'm on the Nevada border and they were saying it came across Canada so I was a little too far south to see it

Picked up an old school Lunchbox from a friend at work.
Says it’s never been run & it looks like it.
I’m gonna clean it up some & find a spot in the collection to fit it

 

[Kimmie28]

What a good find. I'm looking at getting a lunchbox in the near future

Nice! That's the second time now that I have seen a throttle servo, I didn't even know that was a thing until this week.

Yeah, the old mechanical speed controls were a pain in the buttocks.

I got an nVidia RTX 3060 and a bigger power supply to feed the beast, I should have everything here by Monday to start the upgrade.

Especially when they got stuck & you had to chase the rig down

I fortunately never had that happen. It was either that square brick thingy on the ESC burned out and turned to dust that went everywhere, or the coil of the potentiometer lost contact and/or shorted and fried. My dad was an electronics guru, so I was lucky he would tell me how to fix it. But it was frustrating at times trying to keep them running.
