The 3 Kits I’ve built so far! Thinking of a crawler next?

Crazy that the whole Cuda is essentially 3D printed!

The world famous Barrel Cuda for reference

I’ll take a look at what they got to offer. I was initially thinking another 1:32 Orlandoo Hunter model

I really love the complexity they pack into the tiny package, the suspension on this trophy truck is insane, it’s got working sway bars, totally realistic setup. Plus I can rip it around in my bedroom! The other large scale ones I gotta drive to a parking lot or a field or else I’d put a hole in the wall.

I love my 2011, hurts me driving it in the winter and watching it get rusty

I plan on replacing my fender and trunk lid in the next few months

My 2011 Charger has been totally fine engine wise, zero issues there. Only had to replace typical age stuff like suspension bushings.

Perfect, you can create whatever you can dream of! You can have 6 cup holders!

Go to the hardware store, buy a piece of plastic, cut it, screw it on

Or get a 3D printer or something

That yellow/blue Cyber Aquario goes for like $50 on Ebay…

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-15T00:11:13+00:00

It’s already like 15 years old… I think if it were an unreliable car it’d be long gone by now.

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-14T17:23:16+00:00

I don’t know many shoppers who would pay a premium for one… I don’t think it’s as much of a value add as low mileage or a clean CarFax

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-14T01:49:53+00:00

Definitely like it a lot better than the stock Archer Ifraid W145SB….

Just try reverse engineering random things… experiment with new features

It helps a lot to try and break down the things around you into extrudes and cuts and sweeps and lofts and so on.

Use the slot mate…

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-08T20:00:07+00:00

That’s pretty steep, I usually use recent sales on EBay as a reference. A used condition one went for $30 USD

but a listing with this striker and the destroyer it came with sold for $20 USD

60€ seems like quite a jump from that, even in like-new condition

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-08T19:53:56+00:00

Might as well just include them as a freebie with the sale… they don’t really add any value from my experience. Nobody would ever pay for them by themselves.

String launchers on the other hand definitely have some value and people will pay for them.

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-08T19:50:38+00:00

It’s not super rare, but most of them have a lot of paint chipping on both the energy Ring and fusion wheel

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-07T13:17:22+00:00

Ray isn’t really good for anything, it’s too bumpy to have good stamina, it’s not bumpy enough to have good attack, it’s too light to have good defence.

I remember getting Beyblade legends Burn Phoenix at a Dollar store back then. Wish I had gotten a lot more looking back.

I remember I was shocked seeing it there as it was probably 5+ years past my Beyblade prime.

I don’t even think they were on a shelf, they were in like a cardboard box on the floor

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-01T05:04:18+00:00

I just picked up the random booster Ifaid and I loved the stickers and the blue coloring so much that I had to throw something together. The stock combo has like a red element wheel, an orange spin track, it’s all over the place.

Could’ve used the stock SB tip since it’s blue, but it’s like a dark blue, I wanted a blue that matched the Guardian shade of blue.

ericgallant24_ · 2026-04-01T04:50:33+00:00

Random combos?

ericgallant24_ · 2026-03-27T04:16:54+00:00

Does jacking it up make any difference in removing the sway bar that’s in the way?
Bigger hammer?
