I guess I should have posted this earlier, but I bought a 1/10 Outcast 4S V2.5 on Friday and a replacement handle for my lightsaber on Thursday, both of which arrived yesterday.

I finally caved and bought 1 of those sound modules that make engine noise that corresponds with throttle input. Wicked discount was the big selling point that made the difference. Lol ..I'm sure I can get enough moments of entertainment out of it to make it worth what I spent.

I just ordered a Maverick Microbe 1/24 brushed motor short course truck. The Microbe series is nearly identical to the HobbyPlus Speck-B, which I have and enjoy. The SC truck version has a stretched chassis and upgraded suspension. $110 and Amain has a $5 off deal this month, so that nearly covers my sales tax. Free shipping.

I made yet another order for E-Revo parts this month since i was trying to glue the driveshaft boots on my E-Revo's driveshafts i ended accidentally gluing both ends of one driveshaft together and it's now a solid piece so i have ordered 4 all new driveshafts that are the new ones on the Nitro Revo. Also i got a wheelie bar, some new tools and a set of new pushrods and toe link since i found out one of toe link was bent and one pushrod had rust that wrecked chrome finish on it. I bought the parts from Traxxas' official webstore\website.

What's old is new again... this Henry 357 'Protector Carbine' came home with me today.
I have a soft spot for lever guns.

Cool. I bought their slide-action .22LR a while back. I had to return the first one, but their customer service is excellent and the replacement is great. It's nice to have another American firearms manufacturer in the mix.

Found this on CraigsList. Drove 4 hrs for it.
Its new, never run. Lots of Yeah Racing parts that I'm looking forward to testing on.
It has a set of SCT tires and wheels on it right now. Original owner intended to build a truck but never finished.
I have the parts to build such a truck and might.
For now, I'll need to buy an esc mount and a 10BL60WP to make it go.
I have 5 Optima Mids now. This is my 1st re-release! I am excited to get this one running!!!

I was able to source pool noodles, twine and a carabiner to hopefully fish my stuck boat out if it gets stuck. I got a micro camera coming in friday for it for on board views also.

61”. That’s what my current one is and it’s about right for our ground. The 26 hp on the current one is a bit underpowered, buts its survived 9 years mowing about 6 acres a week
. Nice mower... don't forget to add a suspension seat, unless your place is really smooooth.
It’s got suspension seat and front and rear suspension on the mower itself, that was definitely on the list of needs on the new one. Current one will beat the hell out of you
Missing a light bar or light pods and a weedeater rack.
Not making that mistake again on the lights
. Put them on my current one, used it like twice . Bugs will carry you away around here
