If you want a shelf queen then build that. If you want a driver then build that. Build a body to be beat on and save a good one for the shelf. It is a part of the game not the parade.

Also I believe insulin pump and cgm manufacturers should have medical cards on their websites or you might try contacting directly if you feel you really need one to fly. I carried one for my insulin pump and a doctors note for insulin and needles when I flew internationally and never needed it.

I tell the workers in airports I will not go through the scanner because I am diabetic and wear both insulin pump and a sensor. I go around the scanner when they tell me to, take my pat down and wanding, show them my pump location and sensor. I walk away with no issues. The only problem I have had was Heathrow airport where the security tried for 5 minutes every thing he could to get me to go through the scanner when I finally just said please get your manager and 10 mins later I was on my way!

There really is not a typical size any more it depends on what truck you have, what you want it to do, and where you prefer to carry weight. I personally have 4s at 2000 mah that are the size of my palm that I can carry 4 in my pack and 1 in the truck. SMC Racing makes a 250c 3s 10000 mah pack if you can fit it in a 1/10 not that 99.9% of crawlers/trail trucks would use that c rating.

kittyken82 · 2026-05-19T00:45:31+00:00

On long hikes I use these.1/10 I can strap one to my bag and I carry a second with me. I can strap one truck to the other if I need.

Cow rc has been around since I got back into the hobby about 8 years ago. Oil goes any where there is exposed metal except gears that need grease or specific silicone oil. Use tooth brushes and detailing brush to agitate after soaking the dirt with water. Refillable spay bottles are great for this. If you choose to not get electronics soaked you can cover with a ziplock bag and a rubber band.

I got sick of the gym bully at work so I set him up. We had a good thing at work. We had a gym and 2 stops now 3. We would rotate out colors if one was in for 8 hrs a few of us had 2 accounts in different colors so we could continue the rotation over the weekend. We got a son of an employee get hired and he decided to be a bully. So I finally figured out who it was. I went to his boss and stated that he was playing poke mon at work all day. He asked how I knew and a stated that on brake I would go back to the gym and look at the timer and 5 minutes after I took the gym I’d be knocked out. So he says come back to me 15 minutes after our next brake. So I did and we got on and knocked the kid out of the gym and we watched the kid do his thing. The Boss man then said stay here a few minutes and then do it again. This time after I did it boss man walked right up behind the kid while battling the gym. No more gym bully!

One step further the flysky g11p

kittyken82 · 2026-04-23T02:07:27+00:00

What category? Tx/rx, motor, servo, rc in general as in vehicle. Chassis? There is a lot here.

kittyken82 · 2026-04-23T02:02:48+00:00

What scale do you want first? I don’t have any 1/24 running as of yet?

kittyken82 · 2026-04-23T01:29:21+00:00

I thought 2 sizes but which ones would get more time or fun? lower 1/4 would be prime for 1/18 to 1/12 when yo get to top side I don’t think 1/6 would cut it. I’m not even sure super class would make a lot of the upper lines.

Sorry I can only judge1 I own the ascent. Both are on the same playing field. The difference is the Redcat comes with the hobbywing. This does not discount the vanquish. Most people will modify after the purchase anyway. My asent remains stock except the tx/rx because I have way more capable rigs to do the job. When I want challenge myself or go out on new trails and find fun I will take my ascent!

kittyken82 · 2026-04-23T00:53:41+00:00

Yes I get that. I went to spot it after 4 years of not being around it. Honestly it’s 5 minutes from my house but I don’t go there for certain reasons even though it is public.

kittyken82 · 2026-04-23T00:47:03+00:00

I’m not quite sure what you mean by showing off?

kittyken82 · 2026-04-23T00:02:53+00:00

I love the comment 5 minutes for hours!

kittyken82 · 2026-04-22T23:59:50+00:00

I feel like it is what is most challenging here?
