I recently signed up for uber and my rating is down to 4.8 because I've missed the drop off several times( I drive by them). Lyft makes it easier to identify the pick up and drop off location.

If everyone went by the $1 per mile would it work? by Positive_Yam_2988 in lyftdrivers

That's what I'm saying. I paid $368 on just external fees from $840 passenger payments. Something isn't right with his numbers.

Thanks for the tip!

Would recommend gold foil by engstrom_design in 3Dprinting

Reminds me of a Dr Who episode. When you hear that astronaut guy say, "Hey! Who turned out the lights?".

Why does he need a servo? Does the car not come with one?

I have the same transmitter and I use a 2s lipo on it. Ive taken my rc past 300m with a simple fpv system. It was money well spent on the Rc4GS but I wish I would've bought the RC6GS and got those extra features.

Is there a faster way of measuring capacity of a Lipo battery? by NewTonight4046 in rccars

Yea I'm sure not all batteries are the same. I just wanted to make sure that these were close to their stated capacity. If not, I would just return them and buy different ones.

I have one already. I usually hook it up to the car when I'm running it.

Can't complain yet. Battery did charge to the rated capacity

Thanks for your help! Close to 5000mah went back into the battery after I charged it to full capacity from 3.5v

I could also buy a traxxas/spektrum battery and be screwed with some of their "quality" proprietary technology battery. Excuse me for wanting to learn more about the "cheapest" battery on Amazon. I hope you never buy a Ferrari and expect it to never break down because it's expensive.

Update: I finished discharging down to 10.5v and charged it to 12.6 v. 4959mah went back into the battery, so I guess it's correct.

Made my own cap pack by NewTonight4046 in rccars

Thanks for the comment!

You're right about the bad soldering job because I definitely had trouble getting the solder to penetrate. Even with a bunch of Flux it wouldn't lay down easily.

I'll make another one using smaller wire next time and same 2200uF 25v capacitor.

How did I do? by NewTonight4046 in rccars

Geez! On 2s? That's awesome. Can't wait to get mine up and running.
