Umm, the RC I bought and the picture I posted is an X-Maxx... :hehe:
I can see it from a mile away since i've owned a couple of X-Maxx's in my time both were base models first one i bought brand new then traded it for a Maxx and the other i got used and abused but restored it then sold it to buy a PS5 Pro. I 110% plan to keep my new Ultimate when i finally get it long term unless something happens. Do you have plans to make a build showcase of your new to you X-Maxx Ultimate?
 
I deal in Kyosho exchange rates. I know EXACTLY how many universal shafts I can buy for that take out meal!

Sometimes in the grocery store, I'll yell at the kids, "Put those lipo pack ....errr boxes of cereal down!!!"
They think I'm senile... 🤣
 
LOL, we got 48,000 miles out of a set of ATs on an AWD on our pavement that is the consistency of 60 grit sandpaper. Most people get 25-30k out of a set around here.
I remember when I went to buy some Firehawk SZ 50's for my 90 Mustang. I left embarrassed after the salesman told me how much they were. Especially since I went through tires every 6 months in that beast. I ended up buying something with far less traction and learned how to drift lol
 
A battery with a balance lead for my Coyote so I don't have to wait 5 hours for the included 3s (not so) smart battery to charge with the included (throwaway) USB charger. Not buying a smart charger for 1 battery.
I like HH products but I hate proprietary tech of every kind.
Maybe this should be in daily rant...
 
It's technically rc related since every moment I spend goofin off with this thing is a moment I'm not on ebay looking for more things don't yet have.

So here's the deal, I can't mow anymore and my mower guy flaked on us after the first mow, he just simply didn't show up the second time.
The wife and I mowed, and it just about killed me but I've been looking for a deal on a riding lawn mower with zero luck.
My wife called her sister yesterday to see if maybe she had one she wanted to get rid of and she said yes.
We went up and looked at it and asked what she wanted for it, she said nothing, it's yours.
I am a proud owner of a new to me riding lawn mower in great shape. This isn't it but it's just like it.
Her and my wife are going shopping the next couple of days so I gave here $200 regardlless.

Right? She has two of them and I seen the other one when we drove up and said, oh hell no, it is a pile of scrap metal.
Then she showed me the good one and my jaw hit the ground and when she said take it no charge, I just about had a laundry problem.

Nice, that's gonna need some stickers on it! Glad you found a reasonable solution to your lawn mowing needs. :thumbs-up:
I couldn't have happened at a better time bud, I really was worried about what I was going to do. Lawn services aren't cheap.
I asked her why get rid of it and she said she would rather use her electric mower she just bought.
She has visitation rights. :D
