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

[Doom!]

@WickedFog I kinda did the same thing, bought a lot of stuff, some still hasn't arrived, even though I already have enough projects that need finishing. I need to get parts for all these projects, but need to pace myself. I hate when real life takes up all your fun money.

Last week kicked my butt hard at work. I did a months worth of work in a week, and it took it's toll on my body. I can not physically push that hard any more without consequences. I was pretty much layed up this weekend trying to recover. Really glad to see you posting again, it was pretty much the only thing I could do this weekend.

We need parts for the SCX24's also, and been waiting for the Liko Pro kit from Furitek to come out for the Deadbolt. Once we get those upgraded a bit, I will be able to get back on the course building. I also need a servo for the Deadbolt. The C10 will need the body trimmed for the tires Little Guy Racing sent us, and I am wanting to grab the portal axles from them as well.

@WickedFog You've got some killer goodies planned!

Planning is the problem there lol. Having the funds when parts are in stock is rare

Don't I know it! I go through several stretches a year when I can't spend and it makes me cranky.

It's not too bad really considering how many parts we need for various builds. Just grabbing them when I can.

I am getting far too many rigs using my DX5C so I needed to get something else so I can get other people involved and run with them.

I bought the Flysky GT3B

So are the Rovan's. I went through two of them within the first month I owned it.
I found the flywheel starter kit for it and it works awesome.

At last I ordered the latest Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen. Now it features 6.8 -inch display and reading must be really comfortable. Time will tell

Scx24 rock racer!

Oh boy. We gotta see that one. I just looked on eBay yesterday and there is a guy selling various SCX24 transmissions on there. One has a Castle motor in it that would maybe be a goid rock racer setup.
