Bought this servo for the sct410.3
https://nsdrcscaleparts.com/products/rs450-high-performing-budget-servo

And 2 radiolink r7fg receivers for my nitro and a new 1/5th gas truck that will be coming……

1/5 scale gas truck coming? Come on bro, you need to give us more than that.

I usually just use cheap headphone hooked up to my computer when the wife watch's her shows while I watch videos.
The last cheap set I bought almost 10 years ago lasted this long but the right side speaker broke off.
These were cheap enough.
I also bought a cheap air pump to carry with me on my pontoon kick boat.

Is the air pump to push the air under water in the event of a roll over?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Duh, it replaces my scuba tank.

I’m going to buy that dirty 30 degree north truck. I’m either waiting for fearless rc to get a roller in stock, or the 38cc version in stock, or for rcmodelz in the UK to get the 38cc motor in stock. They have the rolling chassis, and the prices are better even with international shipping. I prefer the roller so I can use my choice of radio and batteries I already have, plus I want that 38cc motor. It’s coming one way or another.

It will be mine oh yes it will be mine……

I told my wife…., “the next one I get is about $1400 or so…..” she be like WTF man

I was checking out some parts on AliExpress and some of the prices are unreal.
Has anybody used stuff from them and if so, is it decent quality?

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

Couple weeks ago I placed an order for 4 gallons from online (no LHS here). A week goes by, heard nothing from the place besides a order confirmation. The place seemed legit, but I searched it and found a bunch of horror stories about them…but also had seen some that made me give them a little more time before I try to cancel, in the mean time we were running low so I bent over on Amazon and got a few quarts. We should be good for a little bit and I will probably order from same said place again more in advance.

Edit: both orders showed up today, but didn’t see the email Friday that the first order shipped and it went from California to Louisiana by Sunday

Aliexpress is cheap Chinese stuff of course, but some of it is ok quality. What in particular are you looking at?

Nothing in particular, just looking.

I placed my first order with them recently, what I ordered was good quality, and came within a week. There are many sellers selling the same items on ali expess, read the descriptions carefully and look at multiple vendors within the site to see which sounds the most reliable.

I was recently scammed for $40. They sent me a 10 cent bag of Legos instead of a Radiolink RC4SG. They sent the Legos so they could say it was shipped and received with tracking.

AliExpress customer service was nonexistant and insisted I return the product to get a refund. Sent it back.... the company so far hasn't acknowledged getting it back after 10 days. So I am using PayPal to recover my funds.

Many others have had better luck... but It will be awhile before I try AliExpress again because of the horrible customer service and blind support of a fraudulent vender.

I have the exact same one. My friend calls it my "Easy Bake Oven" but never seems to complain about what comes off of it.
