LockedUp RC is currently out of the Trail Ready wheel package that I want so my impatient self got backsup until they make more. These are Chinese wheels that came with tires. I didn't plan on using the tires, but when they arrived I was shocked. They're a much better compound than I expected - better than Vaterra's TSL's for sure. I wish I knew what they were a copy of because they are smaller TSLs just like I want Proline to make.

Are they Injora wheels you get on Amazon? I'm kind of curious as to the quality...

I don't do Amazon. I ordered these directly from Injora on AliExpress. They got to my house in just under 2 weeks. The quality is nice - just as good as any other Chinese/Fanquish wheel.

Good to know. I was looking at the exact same wheels. Now that I know the tires are decent, I may order the combo.

I purchased the exact same wheels from racing_car_mall on fleabay, the quality was very impressive. Fit and finish is very good. Blatant copy or not of VP wheels, the machine work is very good. Me thinks that there is one main manufacturer of the wheels and many "vendors" are selling them as their own.

Needed a new chair for my office at home that wasn't a POS, so I picked up this:

You finally cornered FedEx, yay! Very pretty. Let's see if it screws up surrounding radios like other FS's have.

I always wondered about RF bleed on the cheaper radio systems.

I moved my 3D printer "security cam" to the bay window to watch for FedEx. If they used the same, lame excuse I'd have evidence this time. Luckily they showed.

But then USPS goes and drops packages in my driveway in the rain. I can't wait for USPS to go out of business!

I've never owned a FlySky radio before because the older ones feel like straight garbage to me and they have odd software bugs. Plus, they require 8 batteries and that makes them more expensive to use and heavy which adds to the bad "feel". But people that have them, a few of friends included, love them.

This radio is a complete redesign at least on the outside. It feels much nicer, only uses 4 batteries, and it's supposed to have an extremely fast latency. Obviously that's not an issue on crawlers.

My only gripes at this point are that the holes in the grip feel odd, but I don't think I'll notice them when using the radio. They still use bind plugs, but so do other brands. My RadioLink did not and it was awesome. I wish bind plugs would die off.

I have owned other inexpensive radio systems, specifically RadioLink, and I love it. I never had an issue. I am replacing mine because I slipped on a wet rock and fell on it. It did't stop working, but now receivers won't bind to it.

Got to ride in a F5 one years ago and was a fan long before that so the Cobra will always be a favorite.

Everybody who knows me personally is aware of my kid like infatuation with DD's. So, today i bought one/some to play with.I always research what i buy and the Aprilia forums refer to these as DD750's so that is where the DD cam from.

100% correct. Guess i should have said what i bought was a 2014 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750.

Thought so. Motards are fun enough as is, a mega motard (high displacement) would land me in jail almost immediately.

Got really excited after reaching into the mailbox today!

I had intended to rattle-can these covers but I dunno... so sexy!

Some new sim racing gear. My Thrustmaster gear has been good to me, but I wanted an upgrade, and now that I switch wheels often I really wanted the quick release setup. Should be here about the time I get back from vacation I'm hoping.

Fanatec CSW 2.5 wheel base, BMW GT2 rim, Formula rim, and analog handbrake.

Well, after seeing this on Instagram and YouTube



I picked these up at Michaels


Not only was the New Beetle on clearance for roughly 1/3 the shelf price, but then they have coupons for 40% and 20% off I used on the powders that were only $3.99 to start with! Trying to decide on Model Master Black Lacquer or or Testors Blazing Black Metallic Lacquer as the base color.
