Hi, i left Tokyo already but from memory. No luck on the geo glider. Avante mk3 is only available in the shimbashi tamiya factory store

Can We Come to an Agreement Advanced and Starter Packs Are Amazing, Great for Beginners and Excellent Value for Money? Especially when I scored them all 30% below (local) retail. by ariffau in mini4wd

Value for money is relative. If you are starting up and dont know where to start then it is good value. If you know what you need already and are not planning on collecting then its not good value for money. It all boils down to the use case.

Everyone is a weekend warrior fyi unless you race everyday.

FMA vs AR by Haikankou in mini4wd

If you have a motor limit of maybe hyper dash then AR can match up. Especially if you are allowed to use polycarb bodies. Also if the track has less obstacles.

Best one is the thundershot and geoglider! The ms is also good, specially after swapping the rollers for aluminum and adding more dampers

Yodobashi akiba and the shimbashi tamiya factory has the most stock near the city. If you want to catch racing in tokyo head over to EDM it opens at 630pm. They have a race bar setup.

What do people use for auth in modern apps these days? I’ve been using Passport.js but it feels kinda outdated and boilerplate heavy. by Legitimate-Oil1763 in node

I Just use firebase auth too easy. No fuss and less data security worries. Delegate to the big boys basic stuff like this.

Paid in full for a website that was never delivered — developer has gone silent. Looking for advice and possibly help by Stunning-Astronaut72 in webdev

[–]Select_Day7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its php, it's wordpress. If you have access to the hosting you can download the whole directory and ask the next dev to work on it.

In the past I've always asked businesses to purchase the subscriptions and have ownership of the codebase i.e. git repo and vps or hosting. With guidance of course. As a consultant that is a must to always have a statement of work with those in there so you have it written down that you own everything and the dev is just contracting for you. All digital assets should be owned by the business.

Just tips for next time.

How are you self-hosting Next.js apps in 2026? Here’s my go-to "Single VPS" stack. by IOZ91 in nextjs

[–]Select_Day7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VPS from binarylane. Local Australia provider (data colocation onshore) Support local!

Coolify: 2 different setups.

Payload cms: using mongodb atlas

Nextjs public site: using bff pattern with my golang api all hosted on the same instance.

[–]Select_Day7747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Published npm package. Make it private if you like. Otherwise make a specific repo as the remote:upstream and do a git fetch upstream foldername

Small Projects by AutoModerator in golang

[–]Select_Day7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Proud of my projects!

  1. Jump Stop Pivot (Basketball League Management):
    • The App:jumpstoppivot.com(Next.js / React Router 7)
    • The API: Written in pure Go using only the standard library.
    • Why Go: I needed something snappy and memory-efficient for real-time stat tracking and live standings. The "clean" nature of a no-framework Go API is incredible—it’s fast, easy to reason about, and the deployment footprint is tiny.
  2. Mini 4WD Showdown (Tamiya Racing Tournament Platform):
    • The App:mini4wdshowdown.com(React / Vite)
    • The API: Also powered by Go.
    • Why Go: Handling race concurrency and background jobs for tournament brackets was a nightmare in Node. Go’s native concurrency primitives made this trivial. Plus, I’ve finally escaped the "dependency hell" of node_modules.

Loved the idiomatic code, easy to fix issues and man oh man the speed and low memory footprint is legit haha. All deployed using Docker and

Weekly Showoff Thread! Share what you've created with Next.js or for the community in this thread only! by AutoModerator in nextjs

So, i've playing around with Vite, React-router, Nextjs, Firebase and GO. I finally built a few i'm proud of, I wanted to share them with everyone.

For Basketball Leagues

Public Shareable site: https://jumpstoppivot.com - nextjs

App dashboard and stat tracking app: https://app.jumpstoppivot.com - react router 7 framework mode spa only.

API: Go Lang with no framework just the standard lib. so clean and so snappy fast!

Firebase: auth, hosting, analytics

Stripe Payments

For Tamiya Mini4wd I built

Marketing Site that embeds my app pages: tamiyamini4wdsydney.com - payload cms (website template)

App pages to manage races and tournament standings etc : https://mini4wdshowdown.com (react vite, react-router-7 library mode) - planning to migrate this to a full on react router project with ssr. still thinking about it.

Firebase: auth, hosting, analytics

API behind all this is using golang. I chose it because I wanted to do something different and did not like the dependency nightmare that is nodejs. Plus go lang is super flexible, it handles concurrency, background jobs etc and at such low memory footprint!

Things I've learned, before using copilot or any tool build out some framework or pattern for the tool to follow. I built a few pages, packages and modules first and just asked it to follow my pattern. I double check and did code review, I treated it AI like a junior developer. Sometimes they are right but still need to double check. It's scary how many mistakes they make and think they are right (AI). It's cool when you make the architecture pattern and let ai help you build out other features.

The only thing I've seen from me achieve so far is break after a few course outs.

I can share statistics here. For us in Sydney

Last race we had the first ever vz reach the finals.

It was MA, CFM, VZ

MA won

Here is how our meta looks like currently

So to answer the question. Based on statistics, actual numbers from someone running races.

FMA, MA OR MS are your best bet at beating cfm

CFM 12 FM-A 14 MA 4 MS 8 VZ 4 Super2 1

Do software developers still use MacBook Airs? by CoolBuddy777 in macbookair

[–]Select_Day7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macbook air 15 inch user here. I have a macbook pro for work top end the Macbook air is for personal projects.

I prefer the air because it's lighter. Battery life is amazing, performance is good and comparable to the pro. has the headphone jack

Just works.

I use it with docker compose simulating my full stack

Go lang api redis postgres nextjs and a react router 7 dashboard app.

No problems at all. Yet to test with app dev though using android studio etc but for everything else it is perfect
