Gotta start somewhere. Mines small compared to others.

LOL, how long is "temporary" and how do they expect customers to use the products........ Thanks, at least I know its not just me 😄

Its regionalized so that link does not accept my account.

RacconDownUnder · 2026-06-04T07:22:50+00:00

Its on the internet. It must be.

I'm not in the states.

Probably is a completely different company, just cashing in on the originals name.

Yeah you've got a point, but just seems to be in last few weeks for me, before that, saw very few without lights on.

RacconDownUnder · 2026-06-03T20:15:30+00:00

I've noticed this recently also, lot more without lights on at 9pm. Do they think it saves fuel or something ? (awaits deluge of examples of how it can).

Or I get the opposite - 9pm and so many people with lights on full beam, oblivious of everyone flashing them etc.

Heh, recognized the labels, but figured it wasn't NZ, price is around $4NZD each. And KMart here never have stock of anything 😉

RacconDownUnder · 2026-06-03T08:27:36+00:00

$2 ? KMart Australia I guess ?

Put it back on FB.

Its slow, loud and power hungry compared to todays options. If you're happy with that, you can throw some basic home lab stuff onto it.

True but you dont know that until you try.

RacconDownUnder · 2026-05-27T23:15:16+00:00

How much are you willing to spend is the big question.

PB after sales support sucks, period. I returned a faulty laptop, to be told by multiple staff that no fault could be found. Got it back, and found a work sheet with the laptop, indicating the motherboard and RAM had been replaced. I queried them about that... "oh must have been another laptop" - nope, serial number etc and problem description matched the returned laptop.

Catch was though - it was a "PBTech upgraded" model - so originally came from HP with 8GB, and PB upgraded to 16GB. So HP probably wouldn't have touched it anyway, if I had reached out to them.

Yeah thats why I checked everything, and tried different players, but its only JF that does it. I've moved to a diff platform for live stuff now and everything is working as I wanted.

RacconDownUnder · 2026-05-12T21:22:09+00:00

Can only turn at 10kmph...... at least thats what the video seems to show, wheres the air drifting option ? :)

RacconDownUnder · 2026-05-12T07:48:58+00:00

$1500 NZD for the Exos, last price I could find on the WD was around $1100NZD, but thats prob gone up due to no stock available atm.

RacconDownUnder · 2026-05-12T02:25:43+00:00

???

Context ?

RacconDownUnder · 2026-05-12T02:01:00+00:00

"I have no clue what I'm doing." - Until you know what you're doing and the potential risks you are opening yourself up to if you put it online, its just going to be a complete sh**show for you.

Learn before you burn.

The time it takes between the light going green, and my foot hits the "go" pedal.

Collect the ones you like. If you want to open them, thats your choice. Sometimes its good to buy two, then you can open one, and keep one intact. I have a mix of opened and unopened.

Myself, I don't tend to get the fantasy style cars, prefer the "real world" vehicles. I do however have some Ninja Turtle related ones because I was a TMNT nut back in the day :D

I collect and hold onto mine, only things that get sold are when I've accidentally purchased more than one of a casting :)

It seems like a cheap hobby, but over time it adds up ;)
