(Don't tell my wife but) the stock market had an absolute rip this past week so I'm cashing out.

It's not often that tower has 20% coupons so I took advantage and ordered (most) everything I need to finish up all my current projects.

Some other miscellaneous things will be purchased through Jenny's but this should be enough to keep me busy through the end of the year

Got myself a new toy while I was at it. Been working 60 hours weeks the past two months, so why not?

I'm sure a few of you had seen my recent purchase of the 8T RTR, I went ahead and canceled that after seeing the the nitro 8 buggy had recently been discontinued. I guess I know why it was on sale lol. I've missed my kyosho anyway!
 
Well currently my 2024 yearly spending on RCs right now is averaging ~850 bucks. I'm in some need of getting my stuff up and running better and yea. Considering I haven't ordered alot this year for the RCs as I haven't been racing a whole lot. Only raced 4 days this year. Compared to last year I probably spent ~2000 bucks or more on the buggy and racing at the old carpet track almost every week.

Current line up for things to get. Hopefully to have stuff for the typhon build and buggy in and ready by the end of September. And hopefully to have the slash/rustler/mini b ready to go for carpet season by November.

4wd Buggy:
- New Body (JConcepts S15)
- Associated +1.5mm front wheels
- JConcepts Smoothie 4wd buggy front tires (silver)
- Mylaps RC4 3 wire transponder
- Duratrax rattle can paints in my OG bomb pop colors - When HH decides to restock them

Typhon 6s build:
- Anything off of Jennys RC I need to get it running along with a set of track tires
- CHNL G+ series 4s packs
(Will get more better parts/upgrade parts / electronics next spring when the outdoor season is in full play)

Mini B:
- Flysky NB4 or Futaba 3PV receiver
- Installing the amazon 35a/6100kv combo back in for racing - modding the side rails to fit a receiver in

Slash:
- New batteries (CHNL stick packs w/ bullets)
- Offroad basher tires
- New set of carpet tires (Schumacher Mini Pins on Traxxas offset spoke wheels)
- Hobbywing 10BL120 G2 SL / WP ESC (To replace my current Max10 SCT since the programming port went dead - OR possibly might find the same esc on eBay since it is discontinued)

Rustler:
- New Body (Jconcepts Silverado 1500 truck body w/ OG bomb pop paint scheme)
- New Talon EXT rear tires
- DE Racing T4.2 offset truck wheels (gonna put the carpet truck tire set on since those tires only have 1 race day on them and are still like new)
- Hobbywing 10BL120 G2 SL / WP ESC with 3660 3700kv combo (to replace my current combo that is 2 years old, or If I can figure out the issue with it)

Overall needs:
- Simple green (acts like traction compound so I don't need to spend big money on real RC compound like FDJ tire preps)
- Radio case/bag for NB4
- New charger (gensacearespammers d300 or hota d6 pro)
- double sided tape

You have some Simple Green and some double sided tape on the way kiddo.
 
A robotic assisted (no I didn't get to test-drive it) umbilical hernia repair... easy-peasy, not even queasy.. but dang my abdominal muscles are sore!!! Should be better in a few days.

Next week is the dental implant surgery... may talk funny for a bit with a mouth full of teeth (haven't had that since I was a teenager).

Wee!!! :hehe:

Now you just need a few extra limbs grafted on and you can be a super villain!
 
That may very well be the last really nice pre-owned MT410 kit. I hope your wife bleaches your favorite shirt and dyes it hot pink with polka dots!
