Good score. On the battery checker... there is one that also tests servos. If you already have that ordered, you might eventually grab this little bad boy. I love this thing:

OGRC RC Digital Servo Tester/ESC Consistency Tester for RC Helicopter Airplane Car(Servo Tester,ESC Consistency Tester,RC Helicopter Tester Tool) https://a.co/d/8wrQNsd

If you haven't placed your order, I would switch out your battery checker and grab this one:

FPVDrone RC CellMeter 8 Digital Battery Capacity Checker Battery Voltage Tester LCD Backlight for LiPo Life Li-ion NiMH Nicd https://a.co/d/ji19ZK6

These are great for centering your servos before installing into the car.
 
Soooo, picked up a bit of paint and a SRT d1 servo for the NTC3 project and got lucky on a bunch of NIB NTC3 parts for (approx.) $20 shipped, mostly screws ect, which I need:

And then my next project arrived, going to be a tough one, but I had to… Kyosho GP Spider:

Gears, Clutch are going to be interesting to try and find, but we will see ;)
 
Traded in my pop bottles and now have enough cash for a UDR... Now to find the time to visit the store. :bored:

If anybody else is waiting for a sale on them check a couple days after I pay full price... almost a sure thing. :hehe:

Meanwhile, I'll be looking at alternatives on-line, you know, just in case... :smug:

Today I had to scramble and order new shock caps for my 1RC. I'm in the middle of rebuilding the shocks. They're just a friction shock with an o ring on top of the shaft and you coat the o ring with some o ring grease. I personally use Team Associated's Green Slime. Anyways, the shock caps I have sit kinda loose on the shock bodies I use. Not exactly ideal. My LHS didn't have any so I had to spend a little more to get it in the mail faster. I have to skip racing this tuesday (today) anyways because I'm being forced to go to a dinner.

Going to order some parts next week.

Losi aluminum rear pivot block - mini b
Hardware kit (in need of more 5.5mm nuts)
Slash offroad wheels/tires (cheap amazon ones)
Might put in a slipper clutch conversion kit for the buggy to try it out. Idk why but I feel like a slipper clutch would have less weight and rolling resistance over the center diff? Might tweak the stock kit setup as I'm back to clay / dirt. Not gonna be doing carpet for a while unless I drag my uncle for the last few weekends the local carpet track is open for the indoor season.
 
Laugh at me if you must but here is what I bought. I broke down and bought me a cheap treadmill because the truth is guys, my health is getting worse.
When I ride my bike I feel much better and I get the exercise I need. The problem is, it's still too cool or me to ride my bike so I bought a treadmill.
I can't walk down the hall without being so winded I can barely stand, so I am going to work on that.
