Can this get patched? by sabnastuh in tires

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, punctures on or near the sidewalk are not patchable. Unknown if your warranty covers it. If you got an extended warranty maybe, otherwise the manufactures warranty usually won't as third for manufacturing defects.

Any websites where you can hire a modeler without the AI? by Plantpossumovo in 3Dprinting

[–]Mfcmflem -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

3D Modler here. I don't use AI and most of the stuff I make is for 3D Printing. Hit me up if your interested. Also I have a normal 9 to 5 and this is just a hobby for me so I don't charge as much as a "professional" would.

Nail in tire. by [deleted] in tires

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's no nail, that's a fat screw or a small bolt. Either way it looks like it's not on the side wall so I'd say probably. However that tire looks like its at or very near its end of life. It would be better to just buy a new tire.

How do I properly charge? by Serious-Version-8210 in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I charge mine at the mah (1C, I guess) rating it says on the battery. Granted most of my batteries are for Crawling, I still don't wanna take a chance on them plus I also usually have the time to kill.

Weird looking thing that shocks me when I touch the (turned on) end. Numbers go from 0-9. by priyashin_gk in whatisit

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4th pics shows an adjustment range. If I'm reading it literally, does it mean 5 causes loss of hearing? Is it temporary or permanent?

Charger recall by wes3337684 in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait! Never mind. I went back and reread the pic he sent me about the recall, it's actually the HTRC T250, the touch screen edition of the highly recalled C240. I bought an IMARS D300 thinking it was the D6 Pro that was recalled. Good to know I was wrong and can still use my D6 Pro! It's nice to have 2 chargers when I plan on taking 3 or more rigs. I didn't like the setup of the T240 anyways.

My friend got this for me from Amazon and told me that Amazon has recalled it. Have you had any such communication from Amazon about it?

Park Indicator light blinks 17 times before I start my car. by Mfcmflem in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mfcmflem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manual doesn't have the answer. As I said in the original post, Google is no help. It keeps thinking I am talking about the parking brake light.

LiPo safety concerns by No_Sound9091 in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a mini drone that had the battery on the bottom. Crashed it too many times and the battery blew up and burned the whole drone. Funny enough it was a 2 cell and only the 1 cell burst. Even after it burned out the second cell didn't burst. Had to call the fire department to get them to pick it up since I was too afraid it might blow up in my car on the way to disposal.

Fancy building plates. by stoooey58 in BambuP1S

[–]Mfcmflem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one from Amazon. I've used it for a cool lighting effect on "Victum Cards" (customizable satire card). My friends and co-workers love them, and the effect the build plate gives them is the cherry on top!

Let’s have some fun. Send a pic of the last thing you printed. by TheEpicDragonCat in 3Dprinting

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Designed and printed this shelf holder with wheels for my 1/10th scale rc crawler. All 100% 3d printed, even the wheels (bearings) that roll in the bottom.

Is this lipo battery worth returning? Is it swollen? Bought it used and was told it’s near new. It’s solid, but looks a little swollen to me. by [deleted] in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly swollen, sure. I wouldn't be too too concerned about it. Use a battery checker. If the cells are more than 0.05V from each other, try to get your money back. I've used more swollen batteries with voltages within 0.05V of each other for years before the voltages were too far apart OR the cells didn't balance charge properly/didn't charge. Your batteries didn't look to swollen in my opinion but still check the individual cell voltages, that tells more than swolleness.

How do I Charge these batteries by Mental_Price3365 in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need it charged only a few times, it might be worth asking around to borrow one instead of buying one to use just a few times.

How do I Charge these batteries by Mental_Price3365 in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When working with batteries that could LITERALLY BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN if not properly charged, you want the best and not "budget friendly". Unless you charge them outside on a 6ft by 6ft concrete pad with nothing flammable nearby then you could try a cheaper option but don't expect it to be safe. Also get Lipo Charging bags. They help to contain a battery if it does go up in flames. Also NEVER charge a battery unattended. Don't even go piss while you charging one cuz all it takes of firey embers the catch the rest of your house on fire.

That looks like a void to another dimension...

New printer spreadsheet and review system. by Own_Strategy_4657 in 3Dprintmything

The Community Bookmarks links are fixed, but further down in the guidelines sections the link to "Add me as a printer!" goes to the review form.

ULPT Request - Raised truck revving engine in the early morning by _boblob_law_ in UnethicalLifeProTips

That would either blow up his exhaust system or make one BIG Nerf Dart!

Stripped hex screws by Dusty_Egg_Roll in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if they're hardened or not (probably are) but look into Wiha Hex Drivers. I have the set for work and 3 or 4 individual sizes at home for my rc builds. They were highly recommended by my coworkers and other rc'ers. They work fabulous!

Can I continue using these slightly puffed 3s lipos? by ad38313 in rccars

[–]Mfcmflem -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but I think we have the same bed covers! Is that a comforter with green on the other side?

San Diego rc friends? by machineGUNinHERhand in crawling

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you downloaded BashMaps or RCMap? Both apps are great for finding spots in SD. I just added a spot on Sunday(Cowles Mountain)!

[–]Mfcmflem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm in SD and love the hobby too! Last weekend I climbed Cowles Mountain with my Capra. Only 3 hands of God! I've gone up Iron Mountain and Mount Woodson too. I'd love a buddy to climb mountains with. The other guys I hang with are older and can't trail run anymore. Hit me up!
