A second set of RPM rear carriers for my stampede 4x4. Snapped one in half last night when I hit a downspout. Also 2 spare sets of pro2 rockers for my revo and some 4mm shims if I decide to try integy's stupid rockers again.
 
Just ordered a set of new shocks/springs, alloy caps and a center diff for my stampede. Also some ball ends to reduce a bit of slop in the suspension. The temp dropped to 25F here today... was 70F just a day or so ago. So, shopping instead of driving.
 
I'm about to go out and buy these today.
Duratrax Thunder Quake 1/8
Duratrax Quake 1/8
And I'm not sure what the other one is yet but he said its a 1/10 scale
The bigger ones work he said but the little one has issues.
Good deal for 175??

Might be tough finding parts for the Duratrax rigs. They kind of got out of the RC "vehicle" business and now just have motors/esc's, chargers, packs, tires, wheels and paint.
 
Would any other manufacturers parts fit it?
Traxxas or HPI?

So far I've found everything universal but no hits for suspension arms and drivetrain parts..
Lots of shocks and engine stuff though.
 
You might be able to source other companies for things like tires, wheels, shocks, clutch shoes, bells. Servos/receiver obviously. But things like spur gears, axles, arms, towers and the chassis deck, your probably not going to find much.
 
Ok good thing there are spares that come with then...
But then again with my crash history lmao Might need more then two sets of spares. :)
 
Made myself a deal, if I could be down to a specific weight by March 1st (from jan 1st) I could eat Golden Corral....which I did both and am miserably full now. I realize I dont miss eating like that haha.

Also bought new rear wheel spokes and bearings for my bike.
 
Longmire is a great show! Really glad that Netflix bought the rights and is continuing it. They're all on Netflix BTW.

Lloyd, good for you buddy! I've been working on my diet as well. Committed to my first MTB race this season, so I gotta pull a few more pounds off and really get into great riding shape by the end of June. I picked up a Nutri Bullet last week, been doing breakfast smoothies and really like them. Mixed greens, one type of fruit, water or 2% milk, and a scoop of protein powder. I've also noticed by doing that, I'm less hungry at lunch time.

I got a $50 credit from Oculus and used that to buy The Climb. (PC VR game)
 
Thanks Randy. As of today, I have lost 28.5lbs. I changed my portion sizes as well as taking out drinks with colories, cookies and stuff like that and added alot of veggies to my meals.

Yeah, I've binge-watched it all and am waiting for the final season (Season 6). Just decided to get it to put it on the network here so I don't have to always see Netflix asking If I'm till there.

That's fantastic progress, congratulations buddy! I used to wonder how people could not lose weight. Then again, I was in my early 30's, had young metabolism, and was a smoker. Then I got a little older, quit smoking, and swelled up like a balloon. I've struggled to keep weight off ever since, and know full well how hard it is. I've been working on portion control as well as curbing late night snacking. I'm under 200lbs as of this week for the first time since 2015.

Yeah, I can understand that. I hate to hear that season 6 is the end. Seems like any show that I really like, doesn't run long enough.
 
If you don't have 20 people in your household ,then that store isn't for you!...:hehe:
First year with a membership, second visit was today. I honestly agree with you on that, especially with just 2 people in the house, me and the wife don't eat much pre packaged food so that's a double negative. They do have some good deals on produce but with the closest location being an hour away it doesn't really make it ideal for me. Although I did get a sweet 1000 lumen solar powered yard light, my backyard is going to look like a prison yard.
