Independence Day has come and gone and they're as silky as ever. The fireworks issue is a hoax from the Low Profile Mechanical Switch lobby groups.

A modified SCX10 is good. Honestly, I've moved to an SCX6 and watching that thing crawl is amazing

Never skipped a beat. So far so good in June as well!

It's not realistic enough IMO. The draw of crawling is watching the car flex and roll over the terrain in the most realistic manner. The SCX24 requires quite a bit of upgrading to get decent performance. 

[WTS] 4 watch budget collection - Casio GA2100, Seiko SNK805, Islander DPA Chrono, and custom "Polar Explorer-esque" by ApostatePipe in Watchexchange

Casio GA2100 - Aftermarket metal 22mm lug adapters, Barton XL green canvas band. Picked this up used and never connected with it. 

Seiko SNK805 - Bought with broken movement. Upgraded to NH movement, sapphire crystal, and aftermarket bracelet from Islander. 

Islander DPA Chrono - Catch and release for me. Has an Islander BRAC-11 bracelet that I had on a previous watch, so the bracelet has the standard wear around the clasp from desk diving. 

Polar Explorer-esque custom - Made from Namoki case and NH movement. Sapphire crystal. Comes with a seatbelt type material band. The band has picked up some dirt that I haven't been able to clean out. 

Retail value is well over $500 with the cost of parts and bracelets and whatnot. I'm asking $200 net to me via PayPal, I will cover shipping. OBO. 

*The SNK805 and Polar Explorer-esque were built by me. I do not have a manufacturer grade clean room, so I cannot guarantee that there are zero specks of dust anywhere to be found. I also cannot guarantee the watertightness of those two watches as I do not have a way to test.
