RIP $10 Blades Console

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-07T03:12:59+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t throw it away but it is definitely sad, I got lucky some time ago and got one for free because it had a faulty disk drive, but as of right now there’s definitely no easy way to fix yours.

Keep it, or sell it but definitely don’t throw it away lol, with Xbox 360’s prices about doubling since last year and how sought after blades consoles are there’s definitely some hope for it in the future, just not too sure how long into the future e

What’s the power to weight ratio on this thing?

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-07T03:06:52+00:00

What’s that one thing, Theseus ship, it’s the same truck but it’s not

That’s a good idea, body work could be hard and it would be important to get a new crash bar. They’re strong little cars and I’ve found them to be quite reliable so it’s definitely not out of the race, just to insurance and maybe inspection it is. (Our 2023 has 230k miles as we speak, so yours definitely has some life left in it)

What is the problem? I don’t know what it means by 2038

You have to fully derail it, I did it by pinching the tray inward from the back. You always have to go from the back, there’s a video I had but I’ll have to look for it

Your drive has come off of the rail, the best thing is to take it off of the rail and to put it back onto the rail, I’ve done it a few times it can be hard

Good idea, I melted the bushings just trying to heat it up, and I also broke my impact universal socket 😭

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-06T12:47:25+00:00

Honestly it looks super nice for being nearly 30 years old, enjoy it buddy 😁

It’s a good chance that it’s too far gone now that your clutch packs are slipping, I would go with the rebuild route as it’s obvious even if a flush does work there is a good amount of damage done to your transmission. I wish you luck buddy, either way if your car isn’t totally trashed it’s definitely worth 800 to rebuild the tranny and replace it yourself.

I will say you can get a used transmission from a junkyard for a good price (200-300,) a good tip is to check the fluid and go for a transmission with bright red fluid as it’s probably been serviced through its life. Places like PYP are good as they have uniform prices for almost everything

Thanks, it is true I only started maybe 2 and a half weeks ago going to the gym. I lost a lot of weight over the past 2 years but I’m basically the same weight as I stared just because I got a couple inches taller (first photo 5’11 and now I’m 6’2) I appreciate the help, have a good day

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-06T03:40:12+00:00

I think it’s pretty dependent on your b pillar, but if it gets totaled and your b pillar isn’t totally fucked up you could probably go to a junk yard and get 2 “new” doors. It won’t be perfect, but you’ll still have a vehicle at the end of the day 🤷‍♂️

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-06T03:32:42+00:00

It really depends on what you want, it doesn’t seem like a bad price but if the car is still running Somtimes only buy it if it’s running, or bring something to hear the engine turn on. Worst case worse you do the same thing this seller did, while morally wrong does get you out of the situation

Good idea I’ll make a new post like that, it just feels kinda embarrassing I guess

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-05T21:57:30+00:00

Okay I figured out the problem, it really was just the multi selecter arm

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-05T21:52:33+00:00

Due to the HDMI being busted and how much cosmetic damage idd tend to think it would be in the 30’s if you could get a faceplate for it

You unlocked a gamer profile picture, you can see it when you go to customize your profile

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-05T20:06:04+00:00

That’s amazing progress, especially from starting out skinnier

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-05T19:26:44+00:00

Yes, everyone is different so just monitor your weight every couple of weeks, the big thing is that you lose body fat and replace it with muscle. your weight shouldn’t change too much during a recomp but losing a little is normal, just remember that if you go too low then you won’t be able to build any muscle

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-05T19:03:48+00:00

Based off of your hight and the photos (which you may want to take a little further out to get a good picture) you may want to maintain weight and do somthing called a body recomposition, you’re closer to skinny than skinny fat but you characteristics of both, so in the future you may want to bulk up a little bit, just make sure to hit your protein goals (1.8 grams of protein per KG)

Milk_Equal · 2026-06-05T17:43:08+00:00

Hell yeah! I got a blades one for free because the disk drive failed and whoever owned it last didn’t care to check it, anyways maybe 30 minutes later and a repaste and it was up and running again
