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

[Tunedfrog]

They so lied, my underwater camera does NOT record. That's the very reason I ordered it.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Guitar pedal.

When you see a shop called Half-Price RC, you gotta stop!

Ok, ok, so there wasn't a shop, but this was half-price, so... It does run, minimal scars on the underside, and no diff or shock leaks evident, and no rusted hardware. It should be fun going thru it to see what it needs, may need to shop for a steering servo first, to have on hand when I get into it.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Awesome rig.

Thanks, what servo are you using in yours?

Lucky you, I'm really jealous i've been saving up for one of my own for awhile now but it will be the new 2025 version with the Funco drive cups and 2085RL servo. Wicked rig, Is it going to get Max 6 or better esc?

Don't know... it's going to be test run as is, then we'll see. I'm not one to replace fuctioning RTR electronics unless I see a performance need.

I respect that, When i get mine i'll most likely be pulling the stock transmitter\receiver out of it and replacing it with my iXSR+ and an SR615 that i have. This time i might give the stock esc a chance before replacing with a XC-Tec C6 or Firma 160a or Max 6 G2.

I don't have a Maxx bud.

Sorry, I was thinking you had built one from parts... guess my old brain had you confused with someone else.

Congrats. I was getting worried seeing you selling cars.

No sir, I built an Xmaxx and Erevo.

Umm, the RC I bought and the picture I posted is an X-Maxx...

It was a lucky week, so I ordered a Rlaarlo Storm Breaker Carbon version buggy. On sale for $220 at Amazon.

Yesterday, I received an unexpected check in the mail... a $207 settlement from a class action suit against the manufacturer of my CPAP machine. And today, I got a phone call from the president of my fish & game club... I won the $50 third prize in the annual membership raffle. My luck there has been outstanding. I won the $350 first prize two years in a row, 2024-2025.

Oh ok, now I see the big black X, my bad, bite me.

Can you dip your legs in the vat of hot vefetable oil first?

Still curious which steering servo you used....

 

[WickedFog]

It's even worse in a tire. My foot will heal on it's own, that $300 Falken AT3, not so much.

It always is, but rarely is 100% in my experience. I'd go to Harbor Freight and buy one of those magnet rollers (we have one, they're cheap) just to be on the safe side.

If you're paying that much per tire, you deserve a nail in your foot

LOL, we got 48,000 miles out of a set of ATs on an AWD on our pavement that is the consistency of 60 grit sandpaper. Most people get 25-30k out of a set around here.

Only with some crushed sour cream and onion potato chips for batter.
Honestly bro, I don't remember and it's under a bunch of boxes right now.
If I remember correctly, it's the most powerful one I could find on amazon.
