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

[Greywolf74]

Yeah, no desire for that one.

I should sell it but I'm trying to think up something crazy to do to it

Turn it into a pulling truck!

Four crossing signals and 4 bottles of ballast.

I do miss model trains. Maybe I'll build another someday.

What kind of light is that ballast for

Kraton 6S EXB... Now I own all 3 flavors of Kraton

My 6s outcast is quite the rambunctious maniac.... I need to dial the punch back. It's almost unusablely fast.

Sweet! I'd like to get the 1/5 some day.

That's my plan too.

Do yourself a favor and skip the 4S version. Its a dog turd lol

I hope the senton 3s isn't a turd . I just ordered a brushless one.

Oh and two used Xmaxx's are on the way too .

No such thing!

The Kraton 4S is ok its just super annoying cuz everytime you turn it flips over on its back. I even tried putting 10mm axle extensions on it and it didnt really help. Next I'm going to try some different tires and see if that helps.

You bought 2 more XMAXXs??

Turn it into a pulling truck!

If there was any sort of truck pulling scene around here Id have a pulling rig fo sho!

Were you expecting a normal sized scissor?

 

[Greywolf74]

I was expected typical lexan size cuz someone said they use em to cut lexan bodies. There so small I'm gonna have a hard time using them.

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, they are cuticle scissors, which are small. They aren't meant to be lexan scissors, but they get around the wheel arches really well.

IDK, why I assumed they were big craft scissors. Oh well, if nothin' else I'm sure the wife will love em if I can't use em

Every thing has to be cheap and disposable these days O__o

Holy cow, I can't believe this arrived already! I can put it up on my shelf with my other EXB until I have time to build them.

Guess I haven't bought any in a while either, I still have half a can, didn't know they had switched to plastic.

I always thought those cans lasted forever. My dad had the same can of it for 25 years I think.

Dooms had his can awhile too cuz I aint seen a metal can of 3 in 1 for at least a decade.

I remember squeezing the can really hard when I was working on my bike as a kid, and put a dent in it. When he died, that same can with the same dent was still sitting in the same spot I put it.

 

[armykyle1]

Replacement parts for the outcast and a brushless senton. Actually really excited about this one.

 

[Chubaka]

The only reason my dads lasted forever is because he had 5 or 6 laying around. When one emptied, two replaced it. He has lathes, scroll saws, vices, and metal working so he always used it.

Today I bought modeling vegetation for the train and 6 bottles of acrylic paint for my airbrush.
