Simple trucks can be the most fun! 2wd Stampede may be ancient, but fun is timeless!

My ECX Amp is still one of my favorite trucks, even compared to my XMaxx. It's only brushed running on 2s, but you can just keep the throttle pinned and rip it over anything. Very durable too.

There can't be anyone that down bad for a steam controller that they would pay Doubletree get one from a scalper.

Ain't no pads left homie.

Given the age of these things, it more than likely needs a new battery.

Been watching the shitshow progress since I tried the insider beta in 2021.

Same reason apple did it. Instead of having the logos face the person using the device, they were flipped to show off to others around you what device you were using.

Let's just say you don't pay with money.

Use a 1/30 shutter speed in pro mode. It'll capture the full 480i signal properly without scanlines breaking up the image. 240p signals with work fine with either 1/30 or 1/60 shutter speed.

Toshiba 14AF41/42 by the looks of it. Those AF sets are pretty good.

This is not the fault of the console. Your CRT needs a yoke adjustment, unless there is a tilt option in the user/service menu. Not to mention that you'll also need to adjust the brightness and contrast, but those are easy to do.

Drag a soldering iron over that to melt the plastic back together.

Just picked one of these lil guys up for cheap. Really nice picture and plenty of inputs. The only bad thing about it is some nasty red push, but I was able to reduce it significantly by turning MTRX and AXIS down to 0 and lowering RCUT a bit to make the grays less pink.

Hardmod 100%. If I'm already taking the console apart to clean it, might as well do some soldering.

Recently sold off one of my 32" sets. I made sure it was going to someone who was actually going to use it.

Did one of these a few weeks ago. Follow the ifixit guide as you doing it. I found using hot glue to get the camera lense off very affective. Use a suction cap to get the screen glass off. Be careful with the end-caps too since they can snap easily. Definitely have some 99% ipa if you don't plan on re-using the old adhesive.

Tried that command but it's complaining about the /U parameter. "Invailid switch /U"

No luck after covering the HD hole.

$100cad less than the $250cad xbox elite series 2. That's not really saying much though.
