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

C'mon man, where's your sense of adventure?

That’s the vehicles, not the tools.

Thppppt! You ARE a tool!

 

[Littlemotor]

I have invested in some of Hudy's luxury too. I totally get it!

Chinesium is fine for shelfers and Sunday drivers but anything that sees regular use is gonna get chewed and spit out!

Pay=Play.

No joke tho, their parts finish, feel, fit, quality is 1000% luxury!

I’ve owned their tools-as far as hand tools go; I’m happy with my MIP, Protek Tru-Torque, and Tekno hand tools.

If I could get more setup station for the money-I would. I’ve owned/driven their vehicles as well. They ARE very nice, but while they may not use some of the “exotic” materials that Xray does; IMO the fit & finish of Tekno is on par, or better.

You mentioned that you like Tekno once I think.
Tekno parts certainly look amazing and half the forum can't be wrong... Tekno must be pretty ok.

I keep buying Kyoshos but I'll find a crazy deal on a Tekno soon I bet!

Making it rain, but snow instead?

Auction in the wrong category that I threw a bid on and won. That’s what I get for trying to be nice, I guess.

RC10T6.1 Team roller with all the blueness and carbon, only ever run on carpet, for US$90.

What am I going to do with it? I don’t know! I have like 5 other restos to get through already.

 

[Tunedfrog]

You would think being a frog and all, you wouldn't need stickers, licences and stuff. They seem to be pretty strict there.

Yeah, there is a few things they throw in just get our money.
Oregon is worse and I get all that stuff also.

Welp… Mrs. Littlemotor went on a little spree this evening… Picked herself up an LC Racing 1/14 EMB-TG Pro Kit mini-truggy.. Plus some hard arms, a pimpin’ micro servo, some bullet stuff, etc…

Then she yelled at me from the other room that she also grabbed up a Losi Micro-T, and Team Cayote hoodie from Amain right after..

I’ve created a damned monster..
