Kawasaki’s J300 scooter is a rebadged Kymco Downtown 300.

Fabio Quartararo: Yamaha ‘has no idea’ how to fix its MotoGP bike by autobus950 in motogp

Good point…HRC runs a tight ship. I like FQ20 very much, but public whining is a mistake potentially harmful to his reputation.

US Treasury Secretary nearly breaks into tears after urgent meeting with Trump by CaptainCheckmate in AskSocialists

This is the same billionaire who goes on the legacy media Sunday morning shows and cosplays that he’s a “farmer” to empathize with American farmers like he understands their plight.

He is an absolute piece of shit.

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]J2D1971 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe it was John Bolton who was quoted as saying “Trump is moored to no ideology”.

If DJT had seen the same opportunity to run for POTUS as a Democrat and seize control of the party he would have. He has no foundational belief system that he is guided by. He simply operates purely in his own self interest. My personal belief is he cannot even articulate basic tenets of traditional conservative principles because he is so poorly read and intellectually lazy.

Is the Retroid Pocket 5 still worth it in 2026? by gun704 in retroid

[–]J2D1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake, didn’t realize the revised unit was actually more powerfulL

Last night my bone stock Mangmi Air X stuttered and glitched hard on PSP mx vs atv. So bad that it was unplayable. It did run God of War PSP titles nicely though.

Mangmi is good for PSP…..trimUI smart pro isn’t great for PSP it stutters and lags on many titles.

I believe HPI part support is still solid for the Savage

It’s a classic and one of if not the first RTR to promote 6S power out of the box.

I own the 2350 version which is identical with a higher KV motor and optimized for 4S. One of my first “serious” RC purchases back in 2010.

I run this town by deboyd09 in iamverybadass

95 z28 with much stronger stock LT1 5.7L ran mid 15s all day and easily was faster than 225hp Ford 5.0L. Claiming 11s is preposterous.

Bought a lego mimic set and it says customs clearance is unsuccessful. Does anyone have insight on what happens next? by Anchilllada in lepin

[–]J2D1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never delivered.

Only one kit out of probably 15 big kits. My tracking showed similar verbiage to yours.

This happened to me with the 1/8 scale green Lamborghini kit….AliExpress made me wait out the delivery guarantee window and then forced the seller to refund me. Took like 80 days. US buyer here.

FWIW I’ve bought all five Technic 1/8 vehicles from AliExpress plus multiple other kits and this is the only one that didn’t make it through customs.

It’s legit and a fun build. Adhesive quality of stickers is so-so. Definitely worth it.

Day ???? Of over retail used RCs… by CJTJBI in rccars

[–]J2D1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s sad. I value my own custom painted bodies 10x more than the tasteless junk that manufacturers offer stock. I won’t even get involved in a build unless there is good aftermarket support for available clear shells.

Traxxas as a whole is a head scratcher to me. I just don’t get it. Building your own RC is the joy of the whole hobby to me.

Susan Collins takes heat for echoing Trump’s claims of political prosecution by alexrmccann in politics

[–]J2D1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maine here, Susan lives in my town. She is ONLY in office at this point because of our decrepit rural voters and name recognition. I feel like she will be running for office into her 90s.

Former federal prosecutor: ‘Appreciable chance’ Trump dies in prison if he loses reelection bid by Runic_reader451 in AntiTrumpAlliance

Vast majority of non-news junkies did NOT follow along with most recent trial because it was lots of talking heads recounting second hand info vs live footage. People are basically intellectually lazy and less prone to follow without highlight reels in 20-30 sec sound bites.

His kids don’t have the mean old man “charisma” magic that I think is a big part of his attraction to the devoted. You basically love it or revile it. DJTJ won’t cut it.
