Nice score. Very similar to my plans had I bought one, pretty much paint the wheels black and hit the trail.

Thanks, the only reason I’m throwing the brushless in it is because it’s sitting on the bench and 170oz of torque isn’t nearly enough for a crawler IMO and I’ve got a 1210 on the bench also. May try the old simple green trick on the tires also

I finally managed to get the 6x6 extension kit from Spare-Time hobbies. Time to buy more parts to start my next build.

Just a couple SCX10 goodies from RPM and an EC3 charge lead.... for now

[beardsnbeerz]

Holmes hobbies 13T 540 crawlmaster pro motor, 1.9 Gmade 1904 tires, injora beadlock wheels, 90mm desert lizard shocks, and a 38g brass rear diff cover. I’ve got some work to do, but that’s half the fun!

This is not something I wanted to have to buy right now...this was a 100% "need".
Unfortunately, the boot drive on my desktop died two nights ago, while uploading video for four a friend's YouTube channel (Driftomaniacs). Thankfully, Central Computer had them in-stock.

Just picked this up from a friend, 1st Gen Vanquish AX10 Dig unit with HS225mg servo and metal trans gears from a prior build of his. Thinking about putting the trans and axles from my SCX10 back into the AX10 Scorpion they came out of and sticking this in it as well.

Got these yesterday



And these today


Think those might be too big for the Losi’s, if they are, I’ll be putting them on the resurrected AX10, once I get that started.

Something different than all my OG SCX10s.
Traxxas TRX Sport.
I was gonna change the body but I really like the body now.
What truck does this body look like?

They have an early-mid 2000's Mazda B-series/Ford Ranger vibe.

Picked up a pair of these from AsiaTees, one for me and one for my crawin' bud Miatardo - along with spare batteries - look how tiny the 7.4v 500mAh Li-Ion batteries are:

It's that time...once every 4-6 years, I build myself a new computer, and sell the "old" one to help offset the cost. Over the years, I've gone back & forth between Intel & AMD, with the three most recent having been Intel...although, technically, I didn't build my current system - it's a Corsair One Pro (about the closest you can get to a "custom-built" in a pre-built system). For anyone wanting/needing a new gaming-level desktop, and not wanting (or having the time) to build their own, I HIGHLY recommend Corsair's 'One' & 'Vengeance' line of desktop computers.

Anyway...back to the upcoming build. Penny due to price (and my funds availability), and partly due to Central Computers being out of the Intel-based mono I intended to use, I've decided to go with an AMD-based build, with the Ryzen 5-5600X (which, interestingly enough, had been proven to outperform the Intel Core i7-10700KF I had been planning to buy, and a HUGE performance increase over the current Core i7-7700K) running on an Asus ROG STRIX X570-I, and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600MHz RAM.
The remaining components will follow soon enough. Wanting to stick with something similar to the ultra-small footprint of the Corsair One case (which is impossible to purchase on its own), I'll be going with the NZXT H1. Although it might seem quite expensive (at $350) to some, it does come with a full-modular 650W PSU, and an AIO liquid cooler (CPU) pre-installed. Unfortunately, due to a recall matter (from last October), which was only resolved a week ago, the 'corrected' versions are not yet for sale in computer shops (sales just went "live" again on NZXT's website). Although the exact graphics card has yet to be decided, it will be running Nvidia's RTX 3070 (a considerable performance increase over the current GTX 1080).

Of course, as with RCs, a custom-built computer wouldn't TRULY be "custom" without some mods...so, some 'interesting' ones are already in the plans. As the case has a tinted glass front panel, I'll be installing a 4"display inside the case, just in front of the power supply (which, btw, is at the top of the case, not the bottom, for better thermals), which will function as a second monitor. While capable of displaying almost anything (on an 800x480 display), it will primarily be used for displaying system data. The stock design uses an active-intake/passive-exhaust system. I'm be replacing the back panel with a 3D printed panel capable of holding two 140mm fans, thus changing the passive-exhaust to an active-exhaust. The AIO radiator fan will be replaced with a Corsair MagLev fan, and the rear panel will hold two of the same. The case, itself, well also have some customization done to it, once I've figured out how, exactly, I want to customize it.

Oh yeah...one last thing...while the current system has front-accessable USB 2.0 & HDMI ports (for attaching a VR headset...it was designed as a 'VR ready' system), the new system will have front-accessable USB 3.1 & USB-C ports (for which an Oculus Link cable can be attached, for connecting the Oculus Quest 2).

And there you have it...my yet-to-be-built new custom-built desktop. Game on...and video/photo editing, and all that other lower-level stuff..........

Nice setup. My wife does CAD and prefers a laptop so we have to get really good ones as far as graphics/memory and I've never built one but wouldn't mind taking a crack at it one day. We've been through every brand you can think of and believe it or not settled on a DELL (Alienware) this time around. She upgrades every 2 years or so.

When I shop for her I don't look at production/home/office crap, I go straight to gaming because they are generally bad ass.
