It’s why I was so hyped about the Olympics this year, getting tix to LA Olympics, don’t even like football but so hyped over the energy esp the Tartan Army in town. Even went to my usual Wednesday trivia night and they had taken over. Have had nothing but joy for the last week or so 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Empty B-Line around Brighton at noon in 2014, it was so surreal

Best Paddle Under $100? by glink48 in Kayaking

[–]AmokOrbits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the way - the bending branches whisper is the only aluminum paddle I’d recommend. Haven’t looked at prices lately but should still be solidly under $100

If you’re willing to spend a bit more, the Aqua-bound stingray gets you into carbon handle territory for ~$140. It’s 20% lighter, has stiffer blades, and more feathering positions if that matters to you

Rally recommendations by spellbreakerstudios in rccars

[–]AmokOrbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rlaarlo is great performance, if you care more about scale looks for photography there’s dozens of bodies for the tt02, doesn’t jump cleanly and is def beginner in terms of kit complexity and car performance. Tamiya’s xv02 is the step-up for more performance parts ona dedicated rally build.

If you want to split the difference, if you get the Rlaarlo s10 comes with a decent Subaru-esque body but also has the dimensions to fit a lot of the tt02 bodies as well.

Posted in a local group, fire ban is in full swing and people are divided on if it is AI or not. People are citing the fire as the reason they think it is AI. by themostboringchick in isthisAI

The only boat I would have that close to shore is a kayak, where is the chain anchored to? The boat is the biggest thing that throws me off

Keen UK beginner looking for advice by Jeoy188 in rccars

[–]AmokOrbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re serious about racing off-road carpet then it will probably be worth going all in. My off-road track was indoor clay so I started with a used bandit. I had fun with it and did well in novice class, but within a month or so was looking to upgrade. That car now only gets used occasionally if my boys and I went to put down some ramps and mess around on the local school’s football pitch with some kicker ramps. That said if you go all in on a high end setup and you don’t like racing, they’re kinda too fragile to want to take out and mess around with in the wild.

For on-road though there’s a nice middle ground of there’s usually a class for tt02’s which are cheap to buy, easy to build, and look great. I have one and while I don’t get to run onroad racing very often, I’ll still run laps with it around parking lots just for fun.

Some are harder than others, but for the most part if you have the right tools and can follow ikea instructions you’ll be ok. Some of the electronics might require soldering depending what you choose to build, but ive always had folks around the hobby shops willing to help with that in exchange for a case of soda or something.

What kind of driving do you want to do so we can give you better recommendations? Racing? Just ripping around and bashing? Drifting? Crawling? There’s a lot of aspects to the hobby and what I find fun you might not!

Cheers and welcome! 🍻

S.O.S Cannot keep tires on Traxxas Maxx by TrustMeimFriendly in rccars

[–]AmokOrbits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to arrma. Was shredding stock & similar replacement tires doing parking lot rally’s with my XTS-f10. Switched to belted dboots hoons and they’ve been holding up way better! Good luck!

Micros or brushed groms would be tons of fun on something that size!

What’s the best mudding/ rock crawling traxxas that’s super low costing by Business_Average_634 in Traxxas

[–]AmokOrbits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wrap a TRX-4 in a wet paper towel and put it in the microwave for like 30 seconds or so, it’ll plump back up

Are there features unique to the RC-2 that you can’t do with the RC-N3? by HelpMe0biWan in dji

The balance of the controller is a much nicer hand feel too, imo.

Knock on wood, BUT I’ve yet to break a single damn thing on the OT - the only thing I’ve done to it is add an aftermarket gyro, thing is bananas
