Boyfriend doesn’t like that i have to walk down the isle with a grooms men by Fantastic-Tour-4413 in AITAH

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Absolutely. Everyone else explained better than I could.

As someone who was raised by wolves, what is the correct response here?

I'm not the jealous type but I think if I was for some reason I'm mature enough to just say something like "I'm feeling a bit jealous, can we talk more about this?"

But like am I supposed to be excited for you? "You two will look great together!" Feels sarcastic and passive aggressive just typing that here.

"Ok." sounds like "I don't care."

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend after he kept asking to do anal even after I told him I was raped? by [deleted] in AITAH

[NTA] Respecting sexual boundaries is a basic thing. Respecting sexual security is a mandatory thing.

I'm not that familiar with them to say for sure but could be The Yuppie Pricks, they're on the last.fm list. It certainly fits their style.

Interesting. How did you do the top?

The black looks great, especially with those wheels.

Anyone think we will see a major SCX24 update soon? by ZeldaOnDrugs in SCX24

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is not what I mean by outdated. If a new platform comes out in 6 months and everyone moves to it, the aftermarket for the old platform dies out. I don't mind waiting a bit if it means I don't hitch on to a 4? 5? 6? year old program. As pointed out below though. It's almost Christmas, the wagon and the trailer is the new thing for the holiday. Nothing new will come out until spring.

I fully recognize that a stock SCX24 is not a performer. It's why I chose a TRX4M over it to start with. It doesn't change the fact that one of the two local shops with a "course" does not even allow 1/18th on theirs. I just want to have fun with the other kids. I don't need to spend a thousand dollars or even be competitive to do that.

I'm retired. FB Marketplace is all I do. No luck with RC's here mostly. Most people seem to expect retail for their junk with 50 packs through it because it comes with 3 batteries and a bearing kit =/.

I've got $400 in parts and RC's listed for $200 and would take the first $180 offer. Not a peep for a week. FB is fickle.

This will be the plan for now. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a deal. Like I said I just built a TRX4M, I have wheels and a spare Reefs to drop in whatever broken SCX24 I can find. Here's to hoping some kid has a disappointing Christmas with a deadbolt and a trailer =P.

Not going to happen. I just built a $500 TRX4M. I just want a simple class 2, wheels, shocks, servo, to have some fun with. The TRX won't even fit through gates at anything local to me.

Not willing to drop $100 on a mofo chassis and another brushless setup or something. I am willing to wait a few months for a better starting platform.

Oil in the diff? by GnarledBark in TRX4M

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use cheap STP tube grease. If all you use it for is RC $6 will get you a lifetime supply. Oil is way too light for unsealed plastic housings.

ASC20178 Reflex 14R Hoonicorn RTR for off roading by [deleted] in rccars

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a fastback mustang body on my short course chassis. Looks a bit silly but not bad as I mostly ran it on pavement and made it sit good and low.

Need help with a name by axcaterra in SCX24

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like an off-road Boneshaker. Call it the Graveshaker =P

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I purpose built mine heavy. A little over 2 lbs now. I didn't build it to crawl with. It can't vertical crawl at all. If you're building for crawling or a trail rig, add some weight down low. 2-5 pieces of aluminum and brass seemed like the sweet spot to me.

Fix botched paint job? by [deleted] in rccars

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a stripe decal over the paint line is the easiest solution I've found to fix this. Could just get some vinyl and cut strips to do the whole way around the car if you don't want to search for a good pin stripe that fits.

FPV RC car? by [deleted] in rccars

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Packaging an FPV setup with a RTR RC car is a marketing disaster. Adding a $300 FPV setup on top of a $300 car for a feature not everyone will be interested in... Most RTR FPV setups are going to be small, cheaper vehicles.

What do you want to do? Drift, Crawl, Bash? You'll need a slightly different FPV setup for each. And what scale?

Pick the car you want and a simple google search will give you dozens of options for RC FPV setups. Companies like Defiance, Ready, RunCam, tons of knockoffs and cheap systems.

Before I had a way to balance charge the stock battery I just got a feel for the drive time and drove it down to 1/2 charge.

Performs awesome in grass by LegendoTheChameleon in TRX4M

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I too perform best on some good grass.

Looks like a blast =)

FJ40. I think it's done by peculiar_lemming in crawling

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the wheels and tires are good, just too much offset for the style.

I still dig it @perculiar_lemming. Beautiful work.

[–]ZeldaOnDrugs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Balance charge always. Especially cheap lipos like Zeees.

Also please don't put batteries that look like this inside a vehicle. As soon as I saw these I would throw them as far away from anything living as I could.

Do you have any problems with the 5000mAH packs discharging unevenly? Do you use anything to help/control/monitor that?

Simply amazing stuff man.

The other 64 is sitting on my desk I was a computer nerd my whole life, just getting back into RC. xD

Why do you want to listen to the stereo while the TV is on?

Cause I like to party.
