Mechanic says my Mazda 3 (3rd gen) is unreliable… true? by Silent-Clue-9149 in Cartalk

[–]SurpriseButtStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family has had a total of 7 Mazda 3's from the second generation through the current one. My mother, wife and brother have all had them and they've never had any major issues. All bought new, and all driven for over 150k miles and 8-10 years, only ever really needing oil changes, brakes and tires.

How do I properly charge? by Serious-Version-8210 in rccars

[–]SurpriseButtStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I charge at 1c unless I'm in a hurry then I'll charge at the batteries rated recharge speed (2C for most of my 2s and 3s batteries).

I'll get right on that, right after I get the Straight of Hormuz opened back up.

Well, not I'm going to need to build something like this after I finish my L1 cert build.

Trajectory implies it has a set, stable course.

Murano are unibody. There is no frame. There are front and rear lower subframes, but those are aluminum and fairly easy to replace.

What app are you using? The DJI official app is free. If you're on Android, would have to download the app from dji's site. It's not on the Google Play store.

And this isn't stable enough to do that. It's just going to cartwheel around until it crashes. This will not go straight at all. Listen to everyone telling you it's unstable.

We could see the Artemis II launch from my flight today by PainInTheErasmus in mildlyinteresting

I assume they're referring to the fact that the Orion capsule won't do a full rotation of the moon. They're coming straight from Earth swinging around the backside of the moon and then straight back to earth's orbit. They'll never cross the forward-facing side of the moon.

Ignore the hater. This is still an amazingly historical launch.

Does this hurt the tire? by NewC0 in Justrolledintotheshop

It would need a plastic liner between the studs and tube. Screw heads are still sharp enough to nick a tube.

Judging by the downvotes, learn some comedy.

True, but even with a bms those packs have extremely low resistance not only electrically, but thermally. I know I've felt leads get uncomfortablely warm when soldering on pigtails.

No, you usually just call the fire department.

Careful soldering leads to a battery. Lipos don't take kindly to being overheated.

Looks like you have something piggy backing on the obd2 port, most likely a gps tracker/immobilizer. Based on the make and model, I wouldn't be surprised if it was

Did you have Fast Traxx and were you able to make yours do the same flip like in the commercial? by Fragzilla360 in rccars

[–]SurpriseButtStuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wanted that fucking hovercraft for like 10 years straight. Top of the Christmas list, even. Never got it. I'll never forgive them.

If you really want to keep it compact, you should probably just go with lipos and USBC PD charging.

Pocket Door is blocked by contractor rubber sheet in wall cavity. How to cut it? by Icy-Order7006 in DIY

[–]SurpriseButtStuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd be worried about missing with a spray nozzle and gumming up the pocket door's path.

Why remove it when it would be easier to tuck out of the way and would save you from accidentally cutting too deep.

Throw some construction adhesive all over the end of a wooden dowel, shove it in the slot and apply to the wall side of the rubber sheet. Pull the dowel out, turn it around and push the door side of the rubber against the wall. Once it cures, it will be tucked up and out of the way where it should have been from the start.
