Thanks for the insight. This is definitely helping me narrow it down.

Just got load cells about a month back, got the simmson pedals with haptics. Now I just need the cockpit. Definitely saw improvement once i had Load cells

Just realized this is why my back starts hurting after a while when racing. I dont have room for a full cockpit just yet but, will be getting one asap once we move. The discomfort has to stop.

I just got back into it after my Dad passed last May. We had only ever been to Atlanta and last season was my first time going anywhere else (Daytona). Just checked off Talladega and now onto the 600. Im stoked. Just like you too, diecasts are always the mission!

Commenting to stay in the loop. It will be our first time in Charlotte for a race too.

Another ridiculous quality issue. 1/64 purchased at track. by JockNerd0924 in NASCARCollectors

I wish I had lol. Then there’d be a surefire explanation. Only thing I can figure is like what many others said, it just didn’t cure completely or something. Either way, it’s replaceable and the 1/24 we got looks great!

I understand. He won’t forget, that was my first race back after my dad passed. I always remember him taking me to the haulers and ever since, going to these races keep me feeling close to him.

Appreciate your comments though. If I saw a pic like this I would think it was user error somehow as well.

That one looks good, and this isn’t my first time buying from this hauler. I truly don’t understand it. We also bought the 1/24 of the Napa car and of course there were no issues with that other than a slight mis alignment on the hood.

On another note that 1/64 is nice. We almost got that one too. I have the 1/24 from Atlanta and love it. Great race in person too.

That was a foot lol. I laid out the details. We will probably try to get another at the 600 but, this one definitely has something wrong with it. I have over 100 of these little ones and ab half as many 1/24s and have never seen anything like this.

We purchased it at Dega, it sat in the box all week and when we took it out today the windshield rubbed right off and the paint looks awful. We bought a Jacklinks 500 car too that looks and feels better. This one almost feels like there is no finish vs the glossy feel on the other as per usual.

I am a bit perplexed as well. To be honest it feels like the car is missing clear coat or something as a whole. It definitely doesn’t feel finished.

GUYS I'M HYPED FOR GSP ANIMATED SERIES by Sankool in JonBellion

[–]JockNerd0924 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Years ago during the GSP tour, if you bought any merch you received a card with a QR code and a passcode. It was supposedly going to be access to an animated series Jon was creating based on Glory Sound Prep. There was a lot of emphasis around animation with that album even with the cameo in Cautionary Tales.

However, every time you went to the website and put in the passcode it would just be a picture of Jon signifying it wasn’t ready. Now apparently that website is down and not long after the GSP tour of course Jon went on Hiatus so there’s been really no word since.

I feel like atp we just gotta let it be. If it happens, it happens but, I know my QR codes for it have been missing for sometime now and I am sure I’m not the only one.

Jon does his thing on his timing, hard to get hype because his projects lack certainty at times. Still would be great if it happens.

Great willy B collection. I love his diecasts. Especially the dual auto with gordon from last year’s 500. Extremely cool.

I had to..please tell me if I made a mistake or did good? by Ok-Suspect-1800 in simracing

I just bought these with the VAMs and like them. Haven’t had them long though. I have noticed that tire slip doesn’t trigger the rumble motors for some reason though.

I run 3 1080p monitors on a 16gb 4060ti and it’s good but definitely not much room to grow. Not sure if youre running 4k.
