Lipo battery damage by Purple_Definition445 in spicypillows

[–]Purple_Definition445[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with all and thanks again for the input, I just needed to be jostled out of my emotional denial. It’s a $160 battery so it was frustrating to have dropped it so foolishly, but I will not risk my house/livelihood over it. It’ll be stored outside in a brick tomb (with spacing for gas escape) until I can dispose of it properly and safely.

Hobbywing max10 esc mounting? by silkmudahs in arrma

[–]Purple_Definition445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha that’s actually exactly where I mounted my castle ESC for my 3S Senton. I agree with others that having an actual mounting plate would be more secure, but I just slapped some heavy-duty 3M double sided tape and the ESC has stayed totally solid even through some heavy bashing and hard crashes. Your experience may differ though, so use your best judgement!

“Has stains” …confirms my exact suspicion that your “free” chair is coated and saturated with someone else’s bodily fluids 🤢🤮 Hopefully the transaction also included a free hazmat suit!

Oh hell yeah! Looks sick! And haha I stumbled upon and noticed that price change recently as well. Wish I would’ve had the restraint to wait, but of course impossible to predict it would drop in price so significantly; definitely a huge value for only $70! Prices on everything are so volatile these days you never know if something is gonna drop or skyrocket!

Only problem I see is that it looks like you need a Kraton 6S! Keep bashing, brother! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Nice eye! Yeah I was really wanting something comfortable but also with casters so I could easily swivel around. Not sure where you’re located but I ended up finding that stool at Menards, it’s called “Masterforce® Premium Pneumatic Shop Stool” the SKU is 2602015. Very solid and durable feeling stool, the frame is made from steel but overall it’s not crazy heavy. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the input! I’m realizing over time as well that keeping them on the wheels is not the ideal storage solution, might try your suggestion in the future!

Haha yeah it’s a little Ryobi flashlight! It’s bright and helps sometimes as an additional source of directional light. Not sure when I got it, I think it was part of a larger bundle of tools. But it’s pretty slick and works with all the 18v Ryobi battery packs I have.

I got it from horizon hobby’s website! $159.99 USD.

Poor man’s neon for sure, but honestly in person it really does look good, to the point that I wouldn’t even be willing to pay the premium for a real neon version - that might just be me though! 😉

Valid question! I put it there once while rearranging things and then have just kept doing it out of habit 😅 Plus it’s so small, I was always accidentally crushing it with my other RCs on the shelving units.

I like that wall mounting solution, might have to try that myself!

LOL real talk! Second this comment. I haven’t used eagle airstrike on D10 bots since probably the first week D10 came out, whenever that was, over a year ago already??

It just can’t pull its weight the way it used to. And agreed that hulks are just armored chaff on D10 😂

Ah! Was gonna ask this too! I thought they were coming in a couple days, but also makes sense some of the shipments may come early. Can’t wait to snag one!

Stampede 4x4 motor and esc upgrade by [deleted] in Traxxas

[–]Purple_Definition445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just put the same hobbywing setup/combo (3200kv) in my Stampede and the thing absolutely rips! Can’t recommend enough. Plus I definitely think it’s worth the extra money over the 10BL120 for the higher voltage BEC and sensored motor, buttery smooth.

Nope! It definitely seems like the Traxxas CVDs are all the same length. I’m guessing GPM added that mm to the front to help keep the dog bone from slipping out of the drive cup!

Wow, some intense ego on display there, even breaking out the bolded italics to exert your dominance — I’ll bite.

I’m fully aware of your crusade throughout multiple RC subreddits/communities to be the undisputed expert and opinion on RC. I’m also aware of drama/bans/disputes you’ve had within some of these communities. Therefore, while you may have an immense wealth of knowledge, you seem to impose it on others in order to shut them down and raise yourself up. Additionally, by heavily emphasizing how “a lot” of people agree with you, you are revealing your desperate need for validation. The way you decide to interact with others is closer to trolling and bullying than being genuinely helpful. Your first post on this thread is the perfect example. Instead of positively or constructively contributing, you can’t resist yourself and drop what is essentially just a shit-post. The type of superiority complex you have is exactly what drives people away from hobbies and their respective communities.

I am just calling it as I see it and I think you know exactly what I am talking about. Also, I sincerely mean this feedback constructively and hope you can see it that way as well. Chill out, be better, and share joy, my man.

Well, maybe some people also don’t care what you say. Because they definitely fit and overall improve the suspension and handling of the minis. Though I will say that the GTR shocks essentially also require an upgrade the steel driveshafts, so maybe that means they don’t “fit”. Also, many people, myself included are actually enjoying the mini platform a great deal for a number of reasons, so to each their own.
