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

[Chubaka]

I've got a Savage X SS I bought in 2010-ish that I still havent built lol

Everything has a price. How much dust is on the octane?

I geuss the one that bothers me the most is the fire team rtr , still in the box , I'm planning to m2c that thing to the moon , as soon as I can afford it or if I can quit looking at new stuff as much , I guess ,

The Octane?

Thought you had a project gas savvy.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about her. Shes been sitting on a shelf out in my garage waiting for me to get inspired. I bought a motor for it but I have no idea how to mod something to work with the Octane tranny

They have a belt drive for xmaxx and Armas. The spur and pinion become pulleys that mate to a belt?

Hmmm, thats a thought. Just gotta figure out a motor mount though. The trans in the Octane is different than the ones in the other Savvys so a traditional mount doesn't work.

Is she a 3 speed? If so definitely keep that!

Grabbed one of the new Arrma Granite Groms yesterday for the 3-year-old - really fun little truck! I love that it's waterproof, 4wd, and has a 50/75/100% throttle limiter and steering dual-rate on the remote. It's easy to drive, and fast enough. Only bummer is the Spektrum smart battery... probably going to end up soldering a Deans plug on and getting some cheaper stick lipos that I can charge with my 10A charger.

I love getting kids in the rc hobby , birthdays n Christmas , it's not hard to tell where your rc came from , I just say Santa is my best friend

Well ,,,,, I bought new drive axles for my sledge , titanium hinge pins for my vesla , drive cups for my sledge , got a 3s system to put in my gorgon ,taylor camber links for my Taylor losi 5t from hell , and O. M. G. !! ,it's finnally November !!!!!! Been waiting since August for my VEKTA5 se 12s , there being delivered in November, and for the same reason that I haven't been able to figure I purchased a team corally kagama , I have 20 some rc's and I for some reason keep buying the dam things !! This thing is stae of the art in designed platform , check it out , but I'm starting to think my wife has a good point , I may need some medical evaluation, some fools call my hobby room a insane asylum!!! I'm 67 years young been in this addiction for 35 years , and still can't get enuff , but I'm learning to curb myself , it took a great deal on the purchase to get me to buy that corally , I'm really trying to quit buying and just modify and improve what I have , but I've got three rc's still in the FREEKN boxes !!!! That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen my idiotic self do !! But there waiting for available funds to get those builds going , so there's my silly excuse for that Idiocracy,

You are not the only one my friend. I have 8 RCs that are still in boxes. I stopped carrying a long time ago. My motto now is "He who has the most toys wins, even if theyre still NIB"

You dudes are insane.

Yeah, I tend to buy stuff faster than I can realistically use/build it unfortunately. Its something I've tried to curtail so I'm not as bad as I used to be but when I really love something I just can't get enough sometimes and my interests shift focus a lot. WickedFog thinks I'm ADHD.... He may not be wrong lol

Gemfan 2020 props 4 blade for my Beta 85x. It's been sitting around too long. Need to get a couple FPV flights in, before it gets too cold.

No, I think you're just ADD just like me. You're definitely not hyper. We can wish we were all we want, but hyper left us years ago.

 

[Greywolf74]

Oh yeah, ADD not ADHD.

 

[Lukedavis]

I'm ADHD

I ordered some parts to transform a pair of DR10s... Thinking one will become a Rat Rod, and the other a VW Bug.

Longer arms-links-CVAs and taller rear shocks for the first, and a shorter chassis for the second.

 

[Serea71]

I finally decided to pull the trigger on this. I've been wanting/needing this controller for multiple months now. It's a Futaba 4PM Plus. I also got a RPM bearing blaster I needed that I found in the discount bin at my LHS. Can't beat that.

 

[Ramp addict]

There nothing funner than getting your kids into RC. I obviously didn't think that one out.
1 set of Vitavon gearboxes and the PPS motor mount and Basher Queen center brace I ordered should be here this week. My son is going to have a good Christmas. My daughter is pushing for a Tekno MT 2.0. She says all the parts are there to build it, and her old MT410 is well, old.

Think of all the money I could have saved if I had gotten them Lego sets instead.
