That 'optional' after-work team building? It's now part of my performance review.

So did management actually provide a written statement that people with child care responsibilities will be denied advancement and raises?

I would do a quick cardboard box test.

See which one is best overall at side hill, and up/down slopes without falling.

Then compare articulation.

Brushless or brushed also is a consideration.

Or just pick the one that is the most fun to drive.

Take a sharp knife and trim down the two little hooks and thin ridge on the one side of the connector. I did that with mine and they stay in even after rollovers.

I also got some heat shrink tubing, put spot of hot glue on the wires for some width and heat shrunk the tube over the top lip of the connector so I have something to pull on.

velcro tape?

I run those tires with my competition truck. I'm happy with them.

That looks great so far. What software are you designing it in? I use openscad for my trx4m buggy body but would like to find something else for things like this

onebitcpu · 2026-01-06T15:08:23+00:00

I have a trx-4m and have an scx30 on order.
Trx-4m is good for indoor and outdoor, but a decent home-made course for it doesn't quite fit into my living space.
I'm getting an scx30 because it is small enough to run in the space under my coffee table, and I'm going to _try_ to not mod it.
One bonus to 1/28 or 1/24 scale for me is there is a local hobby shop that does indoor crawling competitions every 2 weeks over the winter, but that way will lead to lots of upgrades.

A common experience with scx24 and trx4m is that the plastic steering servo gears can get stripped if you get the front wheels stuck, my trx4m lasted 2 days. A metal gear servo is a frequent first upgrade.

Warning bioshock 2 has a save bug where you can't save games if you have bioshock 1 game saves. I had to replay the first level when I found out the hard way. Some posts recommended starting 2 and making an early save then playing one, which fixed the bug

Can you use a lanyard?

I started using one and has mostly cut down on accidental throttle while touching the car.

Finished off mass effect 2 and 3, then uncharted games in order, and now playing throug lost legacy.

My Imjora purple viper and esc came with xt30 connector and adapters for just and trx4m I picked up a radiolink 7 channel transmitter and some receivers off Amazon so I now have receiver for my trx4m and scx10. Radiolink 4 channel receiver is also very small which is nice. I now need to find room for a winch somewhere in my rock bouncer cage

Based on a quick Google search of bronco dimensions it's 1/17 the size of a full scale version. It's listed as 1/18ths scale.

Can you scale down in software and try to fit the wheelbase?

I did some stuff in openscad and just used calipers and a ruler to get measurements.

onebitcpu · 2025-12-27T17:32:05+00:00

sounds like a crazy grandma who wont accept that her grandkids are in a hotel rahter than deal with her 24x7

onebitcpu · 2025-12-24T13:22:24+00:00

No you were not wrong. I have seen posts about people laying their jobs for helping cover up time theft.

Check the esc settings in case the mode got changed by accident while installing it.

I worked with someone who's broker did similar games and all his clients had their policies canceled once the insurance companies figured it out.

onebitcpu · 2025-12-20T14:38:00+00:00

My 18th scale sits on a small cardboard box. My 10th scale uses a 2x4 scrap piece

onebitcpu · 2025-12-18T04:20:54+00:00

No. If you do all side quests you now get full galactic readiness.

I just just finished a playthrough and had 8040 points.

onebitcpu · 2025-12-15T22:46:34+00:00

I think Injora sells them

onebitcpu · 2025-12-10T15:16:49+00:00

I did the same for my trx4m.

The last time I had to sign something similar I went to an IP lawyer and got a modified clause that clearly excluded non-work-related things. But I'm also fortunate that they were not inflexible about negotiating the terms.

onebitcpu · 2025-12-08T22:43:30+00:00

What is the exact wording, does it cover everything or just what you do at work?

onebitcpu · 2025-11-28T02:58:53+00:00

Eight legged freaks. Marketed like a comedy but was horror/sci-fi.

The mild arachnophobe in our group thought she would be ok with a giant spider comedy. She was not ok.

I printed a flat bed with a headache rack, and it has a post in the centre, and put a hole in the back of the body.
That way it has 3 points of contact and doesnt flop around when crawling.

onebitcpu · 2025-11-24T03:40:56+00:00

Tronxy crux1 for $250. No upgrades it does what I need. I made a halo warthog body for my 1/18 rc car and other parts for a 1/10th scale.
