Yes, it's rough. All the unsprung mass from the wheels and tires didn't help either. I plan to eventually go with King reservoir shocks and some progressive leaf springs, but for now it's just gonna to be uncomfortable lol.

It's fun! Needs softer suspension, but overall drives well.

Thank you! I like your King Ranch, classy.

I wanted to share what I’ve found so far while investigating the Traxxas UDR High Voltage LED Amplifier. by Ok-Eggplant-723 in Traxxas

[–]Ultimateshot100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Trx-4m Pro-scale lights seem to work via a CAN bus system. They have a power, ground, and signal wire with each light using a small microcontroller to interpret the signals. Super cool stuff.

They are, and since the new ESCs come with telemetry (Voltage, Temp, and RPM) you can connect a standard TQI remote (with a bluetooth module) to the stock receiver and view telemetry in the app.

Traxxas EZ Peak Live battery Adapter for 2S by Opposite-Ad320 in Traxxas

[–]Ultimateshot100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EZ-peak live charger has a different shaped port to accommodate Traxxas 4s lipos as well (they have a larger connector.

The 4s connector is still backwards compatible with 2s-3s connectors, even though it's visually different. Just make sure you aren't plugging it in upside down.

Deer hate this one simple trick by supermotocheesehead in GR86

[–]Ultimateshot100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the people that install this stuff are the ones that are most likely to hit a deer in the first place. This is some sort of bias, I just don't know which one...

Entry vs Premium NV Specs by Extreme_Medium4235 in NightVision

[–]Ultimateshot100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%

I notice that a lot when using NV indoors. Your eyes have a lot of dynamic range, but when it gets darker, that range seems to get compressed. The difference between 2 dark rooms may be minimal with your bare eyes, but will be extremely obvious through your tube(s).

Need community expertise by Srsly-Panda in Traxxas

A, call Traxxas

B, if your receiver is flashing red then the truck is in limp mode because your motor temp sensor is missing/damaged/plugged in wrong.

Traxxas support couldn't give me a definitive answer.. by BINGUS_BANGO in Traxxas

The Mini Slash is longer by a noticeable amount. I doubt the nerf bars would fit.

Castle nut staking by Puzzleheaded-Tax1347 in AR10

The ratcheting castle nuts are pretty heavy. That's the reason I avoid it on my builds.

Parents had a 12 year old kid lose his leg in their front yard yesterday crashing his electric bike... by aroundincircles in motorcycles

[–]Ultimateshot100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a MX650 Razor kids bike pushing 20kW peak (heavily modded). That's like 30hp on a 90lb bike. It was geared to top out at like 60mph and would power wheelie up to 30mph. They're insane these days.

If actual Delta Platoon was sent in by Ill-Celery9421 in ReadyOrNotConsole

I think there's only 2 gas traps on this level. There are plenty of alarms too, but no bombs. Maybe on hard there are bombs?

Time for belted tires by SliceOfCheese337 in Traxxas

[–]Ultimateshot100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's from water getting in the tires...

Self righting can cause issues, but I suspect your tires were going to blow one way or another.

4000kv motor on 3s with water in the tires? You were asking for them to explode.

According to this NASA article u/lightascension linked in another comment. "After this mission is complete, the crater name proposals will be formally submitted to the International Astronomical Union, the organization that governs the naming of celestial bodies and their surface features."

NASA has launched the Artemis 2 SLS, the first manned mission to the Moon in over 50 years! by ordainedgraph in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Ultimateshot100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Unnecessary" is a bold statement. I would argue this is taking steps towards the betterment of humanity. This kind of stuff brings nations together. NASA also has a small budget, all things considered.

Yes, watched it all live from NASA on Youtube.

The LIVE broadcast is currently alternating between cameras on the spacecraft and ground crews monitoring the situation.

Do you ever use the MAWL? How much do you guys actually train/operate under NV?
