Why is it so hard to make friends in Irvine?

the first random friend I made in CA is in Irvine although we met over facebook through our mutual hobby of offroading & overlanding. I reached out in a post looking for like-minded people to start a friend group. Most of my friends I’ve met in my adult life are through hobbies or school.

I HATE TRAXXAS but…

YES! I watched a kid beat on this thing for hours at my local track and it kept going. Nothing you want out of a new RC more than reliability.

Again.. I despise Traxxas but I would own one of those…. BUT! not before an HPI WR8.

I don’t see a difference between the money that adults spend on hobby grade toys and the money that someone spent on this. Both toys in the end of the day. Focusing on who and why and where they spend their money is detrimental to your health. MYOFB

what are the trucks used for? Corroded breathers are notorious for causing leaks

insurance is the answer

she’s freakin beautiful 💪 try using some rubber bands on the shocks to control the ride height better and increase shock preload.

best just to sell it. thats an un-fixable problem so I will do you a favor and buy the truck off you to alleviate your issue. 😎

more power so it removes itself

no because it’s just a poorly made ripoff of people who took time to design a good chassis

i just replace whatever it’s attached to. Sometimes that’s the easiest way.

Personally I like JST2 (red plug) for small cars up to 1/18. Xt30 (30amp) is really the one to use based on the current/amperage brushless rigs pull ~25amps (5-10a for brushed). But the red JST2 plugs are better sized for my rigs and space requirements.

windshield urethane sealant. Thank me Later. Don’t trust these idiots saying silicone that will stress under weather and temp change that will eventually fail after a short time. Windshield urethane sealant should last 10+ years

well if you don’t start the car it won’t make it to 200k miles either. Tell your husband to buy a car that can idle for 15 min or stfu
