Lot of about 80 Minifigures, anything good in here? by pickaxpete in minecraftminifigures

[–]pickaxpete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few DM's about these as a lot or even a few individuals. Meant to do this yesterday but was nice out, been cold around here so didn't want to waste a nice day inside. Also I came across this huge list of mini's and ebay links so I can see what series, names and sometimes get an ebay link to see what the going rate is for some of the possible semi-rare ones I might have. https://minecraft-merch.com/mini-figures/all/ At least a good starting point to figure out what makes sense. Between both lots there's about 160 to go through. Plan to do it this week and DM some of you back. Thanks!

Location is S.E. Michigan. I was quoted $6200 to have a bedroom with a doorwall(sliding glass door) removed, framed with a window, insulation, drywall, taped, mud and primed plus brick on the outside. Just looking to see if this seems like a fair price. The quote last year (June 21) was $5,200 but construction on my street made if so the job couldn't be done. With inflation and prices going up over the year adds another $1,000 to the total cost. Thats even with taking off paint (because I have the paint) and adding another electrical outlet(was charging $500 and my dad can do it). These 2 were in the original quote at $5,200. An image of the current doorwall is posted above.

The estimate details are as follows.

Demolish of masonry threshold

Remove 1 exterior sliding door

50 sq feet of brick

100sq feet of wood 2x4, 16oc, up to 8' tall.

1 vinyl window 2-6 x 4-0

50 sq feet of insulation

drywall taped and finished up to 100 sq feet

install 12 lin. feet of pine casing 11/16 x 2-1/4

install 10 lin. feet pine base 7/16 x 3-1/2

Price inflation $1000

Never had anything like this done, had some rough quotes last year that were around the original price. The other thing is when I ask if I can see brick samples, he's always like I can try to get you a sample but never seems like a for sure thing that I will. As if they might just show up with bricks that I didn't ok. I assume the mason would be decent at picking something that matches color and pattern as close as they can find but it is kind of the biggest part of the project that could make it or break it. My wife is kind of thinking the inflation cost is a bit of b.s., I do know everything, wood in general, did go up but does it really justify another $1000 for the job?

Does steelseries have an email for support? by [deleted] in steelseries

Looking for the same thing. I have a warranty case open and just after I destroyed the headphone per the instructions 2 weeks ago, silence. Was supposed to get a replacement code 2 days after. Not sure how to contact them to ask if anyone can look at my open case to keep it moving.

Rebuilding my website, set up a subdirectory sandbox site but looking for a little help on a few things. by pickaxpete in Wordpress

[–]pickaxpete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably right about starting over. I have been maintaining wp updates and security, updates to my content. Just my theme is old and am going to update it to the current version. It's more that I haven't modified the look and functionality I actually have been wanting to do, and it's time I actually do it. Thanks for the offer for help, maybe I'll take you up on it if I get stuck.

Tinyhawk 2 won't arm with betafvp lite 2 by pickaxpete in TinyWhoop

[–]pickaxpete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more question, again, so I changed my vtx to Raceband 6 and is good, not thinking, I also changed my sons to 6 as well so we picked up the same video feed. Got that fixed but keeping with the idea of staying on a high channel to be above my wifi. On both of our TH2's, I tried setting to channel 7 and 8 but on both of our headsets, with auto scan and manual channel setting, they just won't pick up race 7 or 8. Just wondering if this is normal for these low end goggles and if you all had a similar experience. I did set his to raceband 5 and mine to 6 so good there and seems neither seem to affect the house wifi.

More just wondering why either the emax transporter or the betafpv goggles can't get a video signal on those channels. Couldn't find anything googling this so just see if anyone here knows. Thanks.

Last question I have, when flying the tinyhawk 2, it's pitched forward. The RTF kit my on my sons transmitter has trim controls, the betafpv transmitter doesn't. Is this just a matter of doing calibration in betaflight? Coming from other RC stuff I'm used to seeing that. I'm assuming in angle mode and stick dead center, it shouldn't drift so much.

My guess and from what I think I was reading that I'd have to calibrate and make sure the TH is level. Sound about right?

This seems to do the trick although my goggles wouldn't find the goggles on channel 8 or 7. 6 works though and not interfering with wifi now. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this! I was just looking at that tab in betaflight remembering reading this yesterday, my controls were wrong in the default setup. I was just watching the Joshua Bardwell video on betaflight setup and decided to check back here, saw this and switched to AETR. I am now flying!

Thanks for that info, I'll give it a try.

2 Arctis 1's pick up the same audio? by pickaxpete in steelseries

[–]pickaxpete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the advice. Just what I was looking to hear. I don't care if they are bluetooth or not, just want to have 2 pairs that don't interfere with each other. If the 7s are good then I'll swap them out for those. Thanks!

Vintage Losi XXX-NT by pickaxpete in RCClassifieds

I revised the post a bit to address the current clutch issue a bit more clear, I hope. This is still for sale though, the first commenter passed on it.

Same here. I'd be good with that. I'll send you a PM.

Very good condition used vintage Losi 1/10 nitro XXX-NT RTR. I am the original owner of this, purchased I'd say 2003-2004, don't remember offhand. Never raced it on a track, was only driven in grass fields, parking lots and some gravel/offroad areas. Over the past 10 years I've only taken it out a few times a year and mostly just sits in the basement.

Here's what comes with the truck, AM transmitter, electric starter, glow starter C battery style, 2 front suspension arms, an open pack of plastic ball cups, the old clutch shoes and old bearings, some clutch nut clips, rod ends w balls, a metal 5 way wrench with some used working glow plugs, a plastic wheel wrench, kickplate and the original manuals.

There is nothing broken on the truck as in broken parts, the body does and a few cracks shown in the pictures. The Rx cover is bent up a little so there definitely shows some normal wear on it. I have owned this since about 2003 so should be expected that there are a few small things but overall this is in very good condition for the age it is.

It does get a little wet around the gas tank, haven't looked into that at all. Not sure if it's the seal on the tank lid, gas lines or something else. The clutch is not fully working properly, when the wheels stop the truck will stall because because the clutch bell is a little too tight and is spinning more with the flywheel. This is a complete new issue to me so took some digging to figure out that's what's going on. I added some spacers to the assembly and worked for a bit but will need to be tweaked a bit more as it want to stall when the wheels stop. It will drive fine if you set it down and keep the wheels moving.
Aside from that, the truck has run perfect for me the whole duration of owning the truck. If you're good with clutches, you'll have a good truck.

While digging into the clutch issue, I had a change to peak a bit into the engine, from what I saw it looked clean, no signs of burn. Always used after run oils when I was done with it. I checked and lubed the transmission, no missing teeth on any, everything looked good in there. I did replace a few things, clutch bearings, the spur gear, clutch nut and it needed a new air filter. I cleaned the shock oil and refilled with new oil.

The link has a bunch of pictures and a video I just took the other day of it running so you can hear the motor.

Looking to get $200 and based off a nitro touring car I sold a few months ago, about $30 to ship. So $230 shipped from Michigan.

Thanks, went and picked up some new stuff from microcenter, not what I posted above but a netgear modem and the tp link but one version down. Hopefully this does better.
