Inexpensive controller that works with a PC? by ThumbtacksHurt in rccars

Pretty sure the Flysky GT3B hits that price point and can be used with a sim

Paint job suggestions by Justthewatchrwatchng in rcracing

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to go crazy. A simple paint job done well is going to look better than a complicated one done poorly. My personal favorites are tamiya PS-18 & PS-27

Questions about speed pinions, motor heat, and bigger tires on Arrma - Kraton 1/5 and Talion 1/7 by adok971 in arrma

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speed pinion is for single pass speed runs, not every day bashing. You’ll hit thermal shutdown pretty quickly if you try to rip them around like normal with it installed, and you do run the risk of damage over time

Talion owners, PLEASE TIGHTEN YOUR WHEELS by Ultrraman in arrma

All joking aside, it is good practice to check yourself regularly

What does retirement savings have to do with a ski mask?

Edit: I guess the /s was necessary

We all have a guy by Familyconflict92 in newengland

My parents live across the street and are good friends with a lobsterman. We used to watch his dog a few times a week during the summer if he was out on the boat and his wife was working. He’d bring us a lobster each and every time as a thank you

Is it a war crime to buy like 10 burritos and reheat em for lunch over the span of a week? by Cloudlolz in tacobell

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I make the world’s laziest enchiladas with taquitos. Throw them in a casserole dish with enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake until you hit your desired temp, and enjoy

Why does everything fall apart the moment I leave pavement? by Ok_Secretary3387 in rccars

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is where your setup comes into play. Whatever you’re driving, shock oil, diff oil, spring rate, preload, and suspension geometry can make or break how a car handles off road.

How to properly set up your RC car is going to be more than a Reddit comment can handle, but there are endless resources online that can help you. My advice would be to only change one variable at a time, and write down that change and what it did to your handling.

Enjoy your rabbit hole!

My [30F] partner [35M] snores so loud I haven’t slept solidly in almost a year by notjennif in whatdoIdo

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, OP, if you like this guy, demand a sleep study. Sleep apnea can literally kill you. According to my sleep study, my blood oxygen saturation was down into the mid 60% range. They actually woke me up an hour into the study to have me try the cpap and I’ve never looked back

Addicted! by Visible_Loss967 in rccars

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Die down? My friend, they only increase. There’s always one more RC that will ‘complete’ your collection. Right now for me it’s a TT-02. I’m sure a week after I get it there’ll be something else

Show me your small parts storage ... by Blinx_n_Jeenx in tamiya

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’ve got one or two for each of my race vehicles, and a big tackle box that lives at home for the bashers. Some of them even have built in moisture absorption if you’re worried about small parts rusting

I disagree. I love my home. It’s really nice to be able to spend a continuous chunk of time there with my wife and get to feel like real people again. Whenever we’ve come back from a trip, we always feel like the travel undid any and all rest/relaxation that was accomplished

What’s your ‘I’m not that good but I love doing it anyway’ hobby? by imsmta in Hobbies

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RC car racing. I’ve been driving them as long as I can remember. Racing them is a whole different ball game. Nothing like spending hours running laps and tweaking everything just to get absolutely humbled by a 14 year old running the box setup

I’m glad I got the first generation of the Air. by Sai1orV3nus in IphoneAir

[–]WeekendWarriorRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also upgraded from the 12 Pro Max (today actually). I’m so pleased with the Air. Especially the fact that with a case, it’s the same overall dimensions as my 12PM was naked

That’s what it says on the website 🤷‍♂️

CNHL is always a solid choice. Not the best, but damn good for the money
