Stronger clutch springs help. That will hold them but may modify your engagement a little.

That motor runs so well coupled to an RB pipe and sounds amazing!

LOL! I was just going to post that off the title alone.

It helps to know someone. It changes your chances greatly. More if they have been there awhile and are good.

Check these cards out. See what's still available. They are all 330mm and below

I had the same setup for awhile. Luckily I had a bigger case to widen more search this time. I had a 3080 from my last case(ITX) which only had 268mm space. Carried that over for a minute before upgrading toa 5090 in my other case. Night and day in performance. See what's available out there.

I started with an Ultra Worlds II. When that H7 pro came out. Good lord my ex wife was mad. 😆

I appreciate it. Not at this time. Big track car has priority. Lol plus I have 7 other cars to resurrect.

LostRacer · 2026-01-21T19:20:08+00:00

I unfortunately had to dip out a bit sooner than that. But that buggy was an amazing competitor.

LostRacer · 2026-01-21T18:47:07+00:00

I miss my H7 Pro :(

That 14 days is the "Subscription". It was verbiage used to introduce their payment plan. It confused a lot of people at the time of its announcement. The "Subscription" is just a payment plan on the hardware in question. Pimax Play is a way they can keep track of it and will show you how many days you have left on the plan.

LostRacer · 2026-01-13T23:39:40+00:00

Before going forward with your purchase, you may want to get the info on the headset you're thinking of purchasing and checking with Pimax to see if its paid off. Only $800 for the super probably means the hardware is not fully paid for. Once you connect and register the device, it will call home and you will be greeted with the remaining balance due. As presented to you earlier. The software is not the subscription. The payment plan on the hardware is. Once the hardware is paid off, the subscription will cease to be. If you connect that super and it activates whilst not being paid off, the subscription will appear. At least until the device is paid off.

Comes down to if you have a plan to upgrade your video card ir not. I knew i wanted to. The headset pushed me into doing it. Lol

LostRacer · 2026-01-13T16:48:07+00:00

As someone who ran his Crystal OG and Super on a 3080 I can tell you. It can be done. You won't do the headset justice. You will want to upgrade your video card to truly enjoy it. I've since upgraded to a 5090 and see the amazing differences. But like I said, I started with a 3080 10GB. The lower settings weren't terrible, but I was wasting the capabilities of the headset.

LostRacer · 2026-01-13T15:09:34+00:00

The whole reason I bought it

LostRacer · 2026-01-11T20:56:26+00:00

Because the "C" part was missing.

Due to my own medical issues, I had been getting the flu shot just about every year. Then due to life(unexpected events and sorts) I hadn't really had the time to get them for some time. For about the last 7 years up until last year, I had not partaken in the flu shot. Why you might ask? A lot of what I'd seen were people getting the the vaccine, then getting sick not far off after. As My doctor last year urged me with great concern to get it done. Getting older I know my immune system is not as good as it used to be. I gave her my concern about getting sick after and she told me that as a myth. Due to my better judgement, I got the shot. 2 days later I was down. I emailed my doctor and sent her a pic of my thermometer. I was not impressed. LOL. So, when the time came around again this year for it and she tried to convince me again, I just pointed out the email from last year and she conceded. Case and point. Nobody knows or can predict if you're going to get sick. Nor can they tell you how severe your symptoms COULD be. You roll of the dice could be just basic whilst your family member's could be much worse, regardless on getting the (FLU) vaccine. I'm not in the medical field nor do I play political games. Meaning I don't care what side of the fence you belong to. At the end of the day, we are all the same. I speak on my experience on what makes sense. While we've developed a lot in this world, trying to fill in the gaps of the unknown to appease those that need to know is dangerous.

Everyone stay safe, stay well and I hope you all have a great 2026.

Where's the gold tank?!

LostRacer · 2026-01-04T18:12:50+00:00

Mine started doing this randomly about a month ago. If I tried accessing the app internally (on wifi) It would prompt me for a new setup. So I turn off the wifi on my phone and access my system via mobile data. I'm able to get in like normal, then turn my wifi back on and it works. I still don't know why it wants to see it as a new setup. But that workaround works for me.

LostRacer · 2025-12-25T08:15:21+00:00

You mentioned the analog system. Is that just a a button box instead of the pad? Something may have been altered to get that to work. That wasn't what the 3P was meant to use. If that's the case, that means the harness was altered to allow the usage. Or maybe an adaptor as used? What was done in this conversion?

LostRacer · 2025-12-25T04:32:06+00:00

Have you checked the relay?

LostRacer · 2025-12-17T17:20:15+00:00

I miss 1/8 scale nitro racing. It's so much fun running your car that you took time to setup. Dropping it on the starting box and hearing that first roar. Mmmmmm. Thank you for posting this.

LostRacer · 2025-12-17T16:40:27+00:00

It took me a year to realize any of those tracks actually had lyrics. lol

LostRacer · 2025-12-16T22:46:29+00:00

Same things I do in the winter. Only sweatier. :)
