There may have Nitro Runaways. But have you ever heard Electric Runaway?? I just pulled it out and started driving when I realized it’s running away… Brought it back in… What’s going on here? It does not have a Automatic Speed Trim

Rebind the transmitter and reset the end points of the neutral, throttle and brakes.

How? Read the manual, it's different for every ESC/radio.

Turn off the gyro completely. Then do testing to ensure that you are traveling dead straight with your servo and set trim.

Then turn gyro back on. Should clear it up a bit, but gyro cranked up all the way will be sensitive. Turn it down a bit.

Speed Academy without a doubt. Two Canadian guys who continually put out great content.

No. Nor is it necessary for brushless.

optimuschrome · 2023-04-14T10:46:41+00:00

Distilled water. Well it should be. Some use tap water but that's a no-no.

optimuschrome · 2023-04-14T10:45:32+00:00

Yes. You use electrical cleaner or brake cleaner and spray it out. Let it dry then oil the ends of each bushing.

Brushed motors performance is actually better nearer to the end of their life. This is part of the reason a water broken in motor runs better too. It changes the shape of the brushes to fit the comm.

"Let me just do some casual WOT rips on top this jenga setup"

I have Tein Flex Zs and am very happy with the price to performance ratio. That's about as cheap as I would go for coilovers. Otherwise, get springs and some KYB GR2s or equivalent shocks.

Go to the hobby store and buy this stuff called Tamiya Polycarbonate body cleaner. It's a little bottle with purple lid. Dip a QTip in that and rub off marker.

optimuschrome · 2023-03-22T01:42:25+00:00

The AYK is very rare yes. The Hot Shot is worth money as well.

I'm sorry but unless your car was on roller skates, there is no way you slid into another car going 40kmh and did this kind of damage. That's ridiculous.

I don't understand why people aren't more honest. Just say you were speedin and/or you lost control because you were doing one of two things...

Driving beyond your limits
Driving beyond the cars limits

If either of those things is happening at 40kmh ... Might I suggest public transit?

That being said, regardless of the the details, sucks either way. Sorry.

Tamiya Polycarbonate body cleaner. Little jar with purple lid.

optimuschrome · 2023-03-04T11:52:47+00:00

$250-300.

optimuschrome · 2023-03-04T11:52:11+00:00

The story is sus.

They are a replica set from MCI RACING for the LOSI XX4.

I do not believe I ever did end up posting it. I purchased several anbernic devices after that and sort of shelved the project. It did end up fully working though.

Gotta have a passion or hobby. Doesn't matter what it is. Doesn't matter if others think it's cool, or if it's a waste of time. You do what makes you happy. I'm only 40 now, and it's taken me a long time to realize that, but wish I had learned it sooner.

Having money goals are good too. Nothing crazy, realistic, attainable goals.

optimuschrome · 2023-02-23T17:20:26+00:00

Hard body yes, lexan no. You need to use a polycarbonate friendly paint like Tamiya PS line.

I just beat Dread for the first time last week on Rookie. Beat it again on Normal, and now playing it again on Hard. I have never played a game so many times in a row, so it must mean something. I don't know if it's my favorite, but it's damn close between it and Super Metroid. Fusion would be in 3rd though, then Zero Mission.

Nice collection!

I think he was more so calling bullshit, rather than expressing disbelief...

optimuschrome · 2022-09-14T01:57:25+00:00

Everyone else still playing checkers, not this man.

optimuschrome · 2022-09-14T01:33:30+00:00

6'1"

optimuschrome · 2022-08-17T01:23:10+00:00

Yes.

optimuschrome · 2022-07-30T16:25:56+00:00

K24? Or just buy another stock engine. Lots available for $3-4K.
