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

[Iowa crawler]

My local hobby shop is a Traxxas dealer. So I asked if this is available.

He said yes and ordered me one. Can’t wait for the order to come in. No idea when I will get it but it’s better than the full 500.00 drag pack.

Broke down and bought a Losi Mini B last night from Amain. Needed it in my life. But, shortly after I remembered I was saving to buy Real Flight 9.5 . Need to do some "how to" reading anyway.

Bought a max5 esc while I was in Cypress TX. The hobby shop sold it to me for cheaper than I can get it online. Now to order a HW 1100kv.

Also upgraded phones. Note 20 ultra to S22 ultra. Overall, I'm not super impressed. Battery is trash. Pictures are great and so is the screen. Samsung is giving me 600 for my phone plus some nice goodies.

Grabbed some more X-Maxx parts

Traxxas makes bigger carriers now. They're a tad cheaper and I haven't broken them... YET haha.

Those caster blocks break way too easy imo.

Thought I would give No Superior Desings RC servo a shot in my Gatekeeper kit build so I picked up their RS 500B servo. Hope to get it installed this weekend. Running it direct power off 3s.

They were $6, and we probably won't be jumping the truck much for the very near future.

Don't be scared. Send it and break everything like me.

So be scared. Send it and break everything like me.

We have nothing but a flat field and a parking lot to run in by us. What other options are there for the caster blocks?

It was supposed to be "don't be" haha.

I have a portable ramp I bring with me.

I have looked at ramps, but haven't found anything I like. I sent a design for one to a woodshop near me and they want $350 to build it.

I tape card board to my kids back and make him kneel. Angles a tad off with his hump but we still get some air with it.

That reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad would have me hold the rabbit ears so he could get good reception for the game.

My grandpa made me do the same. Lmao.

Ordered all the Tekin electronics and a servo horn set for the Axial Ryft kit. So amped to start building it.

 

[Doom!]

Dang! Some spiffy electronics.

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, I don't normally go crazy with the electronics, but I picked up this kit on sale at Christmas for like $120 off, so I figured I'd add that to the electronics budget. Plus, I really wanted to build this as best I could. It really is a great kit.
