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

Especially wire wheels.


I once had a bit of wire fly out of a wire wheel and got stuck in my cheek. It was stuck in good too.

I have wire brushed more metal than any sane petson would ever attempt.
I have had to throw clothes away because of all the wires stuck in, shirts, sweats, socks!!!
Stepped on bits of wire for weeks after my last de-rusting episode!
Hurts like you wished it didn't too!!!

And these showed up… Literally hunted high, and low for 20yrs… Couldn’t believe I found the wheels, let alone TWO complete sets, and DMS-Racing in the UK.. Had them in my hands in NC in less than 4 days from the time I placed the order..

Then less than 48hrs later-managed to locate the Panther Gator’s at Eliminator-RC in Manitoba, Canada… Last two pair available for sale ANYWHERE being Panther closed their doors after 30yrs about 1.5yrs back..

Copped the Performa closed cell inserts at a deal from my guy at AbsoluteHobbyz in Jersey-and he had them to me pretty dammiit Ricky-tick.. I’m beyond stoked for this combo..

I’m such a nerd for certain goodies..

They were specifically to duplicate this exact combo on my Team Losi 8ight 20yrs ago… I’m recreating an “updated version” of this photo with my new Tekno NB48 2.2 kit, and on the new track.. I know I’m a cheesy MF’er..

Also-may have possibly spent a bit more this evening lol…

And I have one more project for a completely molested (cut up ) RaceCraft USA “Shiit Mat”… I’ve already used one all cut into several smaller mats for the RC Cave..

I have problems…

“the poop mat” I love it I have tekno mat as it was perfect size for my 4ft folding table

I’ve got a JConcepts, and about to have dual Shiit Mat’s now, and in even more pieces lol.. And for $12; it’s like a limp weiner-ya can’t beat it..

It's been over a month since I asked my LHS to order 1 million weight fluid and it's still not here. I can't wait any longer so I bought some online. I had to get a short sensor wire anyways. Not my LHS's fault, the distributor just wants to be a pain.

Annnnnnnd tire sauce..

And DESPERATELY trying to refrain from picking up a pair of badass used NitroPro servo’s from my boy at NitroPro-a Jared Tebo CT3, and a J&T 600.08… Lifetime warranty on the gearsets, and only $80 a piece… If I hadn’t JUST bought all this, and the paints, wheels, tires, etc. just a couple nights back… Shewwweeeeee… THIS is a tough one…
