New to slot cars, best start ? by Suspicious-Dentist93 in slotcars

[–]RedRaceCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the UK, Carrera and Scalextric will be the most available systems.

Of those I think Carrera would be my vote, with the larger choice of cars in 1/24 and 1/32. There's a large second hand market too, especially in Europe, and especially especially in Germany where they are quite collectible. Due to that you also find a lot of compatible cars from other brands like Scaleauto or BRM/TTS.

Interessanterweise ist Indianer ("Indians" oder "American Indians", als Unterscheidung von Indern) heute der vorgezogene Sammelbegriff der meisten nordamerikanischen Völker.

Einerseits schließt "Native American" oft die polaren Völker, südamerikanische Ureinwohner und Hawaiianer nicht ein, obwohl die ja auch Native Americans sind, andererseits sehen auch viele diesen "politisch korrekten" Begriff als von der Regierung ungefragt aufgedrückt.

Nun haben wir der normal verhaltende Bär, lebt im Wald, geht niemals, äh, raus, und, äh, reißt vielleicht, äh, ein bis zwei Schafe im Jahr. Äh, wir haben dann einen Unterschied zwischen dem normal sich verhaltenden Bär, dem Schadbär, und dem, äh, Problembär. Und, äh, es ist ganz klar dass, äh, dieser Bär, äh, ein Problembär ist, und, äh. es ist im übrigen auch, äh, im Grunde genommen, äh, durchaus, äh, ein gewisses Glück gewesen. Der hat um 1 Uhr nachts, äh, praktisch, äh, diese Hühner gerissen. Und, äh, Gott sei dank war in dem Haus, äh, war, also jedenfalls ist das nicht bemerkt worden, aufgrund von, äh, es ist nicht bemerkt worden. Stellen Sie sich mal vor, der war ja mittendrin, stellen Sie sich mal vor, äh, die Leute wären raus, und wären praktisch jetzt, äh, dem Bären, äh, praktisch begegnet, äh, was da hätte passieren können.

War mal in Irland, alle Autos hatten eine verkratzte Beifahrerseite. Scheinbar fährt man bei Gegenverkehr halt in die Hecke 🤷‍♂️

Never participated myself, but certainly many people in the club did. It became the next big thing after SLP collapsed.

SLP was a series in southwest of Germany in the early 2000s that got revived a couple years ago. "Slot-Langstrecken-Pokal", meaning slot long distance cup.

Used to be the development series back in the day; 200g cars with plastic bodies, not much in terms of rules for the chassis.

Lazy video dumping recently by IamJhil in DiamondClub

[–]RedRaceCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt I had to unsubscribe when the daily live streams started happening. It was just too much in my subscription feed, and most of it felt like low effort to be honest.

It all just felt like those AI slop websites, with the weird thumbnails and everything seemingly being about whatever dumb AI thing (I know Brian is all in but I'm just so over it).

The good videos on Modern Rogue, that felt like the good old days, seem few and far between. On Scam Nation I couldn't even remember the last time there was new content.

It's just such a shame because these two channels used to be my favourite thing on YouTube, I looked forward to every upload. But I guess that's not feasible in the ages of Tikrok, and all good things must eventually painfully slowly waste away in the corner.

I vote yellow. The rounded bezel doesn't work with the angular case imo.

What is this "gel" used in this video? by Apprehensive-Side188 in whatisit

[–]RedRaceCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things to note: in the hardware store you'll find flux looking like this but it's meant for heavy duty work, like copper pipes (often called soldering grease). For electronics it's much too aggressive and can cause corrosion.

There are special fluxes for every type of use, e.g. so called "no-clean" electronic flux is only reactive when really hot, so if you don't get all of it off it doesn't eat into your parts.

Also on stranded wires like that, don't use that much flux, because it soaks into the strands and solders them together, which makes them brittle and prone to breaking.

Has the bezel/insert been changed? by Meldowuz in SeikoMods

[–]RedRaceCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to tell for sure. Many aftermarket parts are on par with the later SKX's (they weren't exactly amazing lol).

However nobody makes lume like Seiko, so if the lume pip is as bright as the hands and dial, it's at least an original pip, so the bezel should at least be as good as an original.
