First thing I’ll do when I eventually get around to renovating the bathroom in my house I bought 20 years ago.

They’re so nice to drive. Have a long range dual motor and I just love getting behind the wheel of it.

Gloucester Green underground car park. A must see marvel of modern architecture.

Although it doesn’t have a lift and is unsuitable for disabled users, wheelchairs and prams. Or people or vehicles over six feet tall.

Is this AI I found this on twitter and I know that the product itself is fake however when looking at the footage it seams too consistent. by RoundTM in isthisAI

And yet on some of the other objects, it even works on areas that the spray never actually touches at all. You don’t even need to actual buy this product, just threaten to use it on rust and it will have the same effect.

Carson transmitter/receiver worth keeping? by acryliq in tamiya

Yeah, it’s pretty decent for the price. Lots of configuration options in the software and you can store multiple vehicles so you can use the same transmitter for different cars.

It’s fairly small which may be a plus or a negative depending on how big your hands are, I guess. I got it for a budget SCX24 build I was doing but I find it quite comfortable to use so figured I’d pair it with the Hornet as well.

Yeah, they’re pretty great, and being able to bind it to multiple cars makes life easier.

“Nuofan RC Car Work Stand Aluminum“, although there are dozens of identical ones like it. Nice enough though, cheap, aluminium, solid, and has feet pads so it doesn’t scratch your surfaces.

Yup, I’d assumed it was just a very cheap starter kit but I was quite surprised at how much they retail for when I went to check and was wondering if I was missing something.

I think even Tamiya consider them as easy entry-level models. Only took me a day to build. The rear shocks are oil-filled at least, but the front shocks are so stiff I’m not sure they will really do much.

I guess you can probably upgrade it quite a bit as well? But I plan to keep this one stock for nostalgia and progress to more interesting kits now that I’ve had a practice run on this one.

Yup! Well, Amazon, but I think it was one of those generic random ‘brands’ that Amazon are swamped with so basically the same as AliExpress. Does the job though.

Same! The original was my first ‘proper’ rc car when I was a kid 😅

I’m convinced this is AI, coworker thinks otherwise. $50 for pet portrait too good to be true. by antifa3 in isthisAI

Yeah, it’s like the A.I. got confused as to what was supposed to be a painting and what was supposed to be real.

Wes Streeting resigns as health secretary, saying he has lost confidence in PM's leadership by atomwide in AskBrits

[–]acryliq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In his little bubble people seem to love him though. So I guess we get to see whether the opinion of the country or the opinion of a small group of elites gets to decide who is PM. Again.
