What did you buy today?

[Cereal_killer]

Screws that came with it were junk. Besides that went on pretty easy.

I can't speak for hr diffs. I went with arrmas. But everything else that I used from hr has been great. Did you use locktight? Makes a difference.

I did not, but when my Red CF chassis is finished in a other month or 2. I am going to swap everything over and will try to remember then. Thanks for the reminder.

Needs a lil tlc but the money went to a good friend of mine who is a bit down on his luck at the moment. Never knew I needed a Super Rock Rey but here we go.

I've ordered the Losi 1/5 scale servo adaptor and a hot racing aluminum servo saver. The plastic one was shot. Going to install a savox 0236.

Outside of that, I'm going to run it as is. My plan is to probably give it back to the guy when things improve for him. Fingers crossed.

Nice to see people helping others. Not enough of that now a days imho.

1) dx3 remote…going in my granite. The dumbo remotes are decent but the slight delay drives me nuts. The dx3 on my vorteks is killer fast and I love the ‘feel’ of it, so I’m going that route. Got the one from the felony ($54) and the receiver has telemetry and light plug ins. Sweet.
2) A month back I noticed the cheap Ds servo ($16-20) and kimbrough servo saver ($10) were wearing out. So I bought several 3s stock steering set ups from jennys ($2 each) and a couple of 6s s652 18kg servos ($16 each) to swap them out once steering begins to suffer. Did this today and my granite steers like a new car, so I restocked on the parts.
3) the old granite chassis is getting tired so I need a spare for when it finally dies

The only real issue/drawbacks with the HR diff carriers are the rubber o ring seals. Can be challenging getting a good seal.

Finally part of the 6s FAM!!!!

Got my metal steering parts for the crawler today and not too happy as the steering mount is not the right part at all

partially my fault for not making sure even though sold as a direct replacement. Also the caster mount has a different angle so now front wheels toe way out

But I got my RCTalk and Arrma Forum decals so that made up for the crap parts I guess

After stripping a hex last weekend I searched and found a LHS having a set of M2C hub extenders and even better also in stock!
Put it in the cart and used a little ‘trick‘ I use a lot to save, or in this case get free, shipping!
Just put some more stuff in your cart you don’t really need right now

 

[Cereal_killer]

Cheap stuff for the blitz to get going again.

I needed a tool box / bench so I decided to get a Husky from HD. Wanted a Milwaukee but they haven’t gone back on sale since Christmas so I got tired of waiting and they aren’t worth the full retail IMO. Also got an 8” drill press from HF, some bits and bobs. Going to clean up the garage tomorrow and hope to have it organized enough to be able to work out there.

Bought another xerun xr8 sct off of fb. Couldn't resist the price.

Good luck. Seems like evey time I clean the garage, it ends up a disaster within a week. I much prefer "organized chaos"

No doubt about this.. I have limited space and I've tried to organize everything in bins and somehow half of it ends up in other bins or boxes or even bags. The stuff that I bought and sits around.

Well it’s either I do it or she will. And she won’t give a crap what I want to keep or don't.

I get that. Messing with my garage is asking for it. It's like my butterfinger

I need another shelf queen like I need a hole in my head, yet here we are.

 

[Edough13]

Ordered some hub bearings and the bumper mounts I need for my custom build to mount the Mojave EXB front and rear bumpers.

 

[Cereal_killer]

Cheap stuff..
