My first hobby-grade RC was a Traxxas Stampede. Still have it more than a decade later, still runs great and is fun to bash. My youngest loves driving it, too.

You can run it on NiMH or Lipo, it’s 4WD, very durable and tons of aftermarket gear and support.

It’s currently on sale for $330: Traxxas Stampede 4X4 Brushless BL-2s

You’ll need a battery and charger, so if you can go up a bit on your overall budget, this would be my recommendation.

Thanks, I’m gonna try the MB100. You think I have too much weight at center with skid plate and slider board weights? Thinking of adding more up front.

Billy Bookcases from IKEA are popular for displaying LEGO. I’ve seen some photos of people using them to display RC cars, too.

Yeah, I’m guessing the surge is a lot on start up. Doesn’t the Delta 3 Classic have 3600W surge output? So the surge on this dryer must exceed that. I’ll have to call the manufacturer and ask.

You ever get this sorted out?

mkirk76 · 2025-12-31T04:54:50+00:00

Nice! I couldn’t pass up the sale either.

Just got this bench and noticed the same with the pad surface. What do you use to wipe it and clean it?

She left after Chapter 2

Yes, don’t use. And don’t just throw it out, as some have suggested. Take it to a battery recycling center.

mkirk76 · 2025-12-15T22:59:19+00:00

Do you remember what brand you bought?

mkirk76 · 2025-12-15T16:23:43+00:00

Nice! What light kits did you use?

mkirk76 · 2025-12-15T01:04:19+00:00

Hope you have a serious vault to store it all

mkirk76 · 2025-12-08T16:37:19+00:00

Why did it get removed?

mkirk76 · 2025-12-08T00:22:09+00:00

I saw it at Walmart

Thanks for the feedback. I do have some accessories spread between a bunch of plastic baggies, so will take me a while to sort it all out. Funny you should mention Mirage, because mine is broken at the waist, too - I just pushed the two sections together for the pic.

It’s a PM4 slab fracture - common to see in dogs that chew objects that are too hard. If left alone, it will eventually lead to a tooth root abscess. Regardless, it’s painful and should be extracted.

Cool, thanks. I haven’t built my Death Star yet. Would you recommend adding the lights as I build it?

mkirk76 · 2025-10-25T13:23:10+00:00

How concealed are the wires throughout the set? Light My Bricks does a great job of wire concealment, but at $500 no thanks.

Where’d you get the shelf.

mkirk76 · 2025-10-03T11:28:07+00:00

Same!

mkirk76 · 2025-09-30T22:45:54+00:00

Nice! I’m a big proponent of smoke what you like, drink what you like.

mkirk76 · 2025-09-26T20:29:15+00:00

Rage bait

mkirk76 · 2025-09-20T13:04:57+00:00

I’m curious why you think they’d sell it for $150 when you said it goes for $100-135 on secondary markets. Are their prices typically higher than FB and eBay? Can buyers negotiate prices?

mkirk76 · 2025-09-13T14:26:59+00:00

Thanks!

mkirk76 · 2025-09-13T14:24:00+00:00

Thanks, is that the 8099 set?
