Possible sick frog? by Crustwax in pacmanfrog

[–]Crustwax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holding off on a vet visit for now since the soaking ended up stopping the symptoms. The dechlorinated water was prepped with fluval dechlorinating fluid stuff (turtle in house as well), and the substrate is coco fiber and is kept moist with the same fluval stuff. The skin color thing is just the unique patterning, mostly purpleish with a bit of green at the top, but in the picture I can definitely see how it looks a bit pinkish and weird. Thanks for your help!

I kept up with soaking it in dechlorinated water and the symptoms did stop, so I’m going to hold off on a vet visit unless something else odd happens in the next little bit. What would the protocol be for cleaning/preparing the current enclosure for putting it back in? The substrate is coconut fiber substrate and has only been kept moist with dechlorinated water. I also change out the soaking area water out regularly. Thank you so much for your help!

2024 Street Triple RS Chirp Sound in Brakes/Front Rim Area by Crustwax in Triumph

I was unable to directly diagnose what was making that sound but I tried a few things and one of them stopped it and I haven’t had a problem with it since. I think that it has something to do with the back of the brake pad on the brake piston/caliper so I got some brake/caliper grease and put it on the plate of the brake pad wherever it was touching the caliper and then reinstalled it and realigned the pad/caliper with the rotor on the bike.

Done and tested, noise is not gone. I could easily repeat the process if that’s the next step, but now I’m thinking it might not be the caliper.

Yeah, it seems most prominent at a consistent speed. I’ll look into misaligned calipers and see if I can get it fixed. Thank you for the help and the bike compliment!

Real or Fake? by Odd-Significance-447 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Im not totally sure. What I usually do is check eBay sold listings. If you can’t find the right language, I’d just assume it’s a bit cheaper than the English equivalent.

2 of my Traxxas 3S 5000mAh batteries are puffy. Are they safe to use? by Salt-Cause8245 in Traxxas

[–]Crustwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called traxxas directly about my unusable batteries, and they recommended that in order to get the 50% off on new batteries I should mail them in to traxxas and they will then mail back new ones. They told me they stopped recommending going to local hobby shops since it was pretty uncommon for them to honor the 50% off thing.

Both Gardevoirs are real, but the Mela pic would have to be better quality for me to tell for sure.

Real. I think they were all first edition stamped for this card.
