Traxxas shocks are great.

What's your issue with the Incision shocks?

I cant get them to stop leaking. And 1 is kind of binding. Cant find any rebuild kits, they have been out of stock for as long as I've owned my vs4-10. And yes I've used green slime on them multiple times. The gts shocks and rebuild parts are in stock most all the time. As well as many spring options.

Bummer since they cost too much to not be good.

It may be my fault with the binding shock. When I was sliming them I may have nicked one of the x wipers. I will give them another shot when I can score a rebuild kit.

If my Baja rey is any indication of how it’s going to be, it’s going to be fast but nearly uncontrollable on some surfaces

Our main data center and CoLo facilities are growing fast, and thus are noisier than when I started. So, my old UE roll bluetooth speaker was no longer loud enough to hear over all the fan noise. So I picked up a JBL Flip 4 and carrying case over the weekend. I did a lot of research before buying, and settled on the JBL because the design includes passive radiators, and actually has audible low end for full range sound. Most of the BT speakers I've demo'd or researched lack big time in this area, even though they may be loud. I'm pretty blown away by how great it sounds for such a tiny speaker. I do run the stock EQ on my phone, and left the factory DSP in place on the speaker for protection at higher volume levels. Using a tone generator, I get audible smooth bass response down to 55hz, in something the size of a tallboy. Don't get me wrong, you're not going to shake the windows with it, but it's very impressive for what it is to my ears.







Passive radiators

So glad to see all these companies blowing Bose out of the water at thier own game hahaha

I mentioned wanting a Bluetooth speaker for the bench to my wife. She got me this back in Feb for v day...
Huge. Self powered. And sounds horrible.
But it works!!!!

And its great for when you need to demolish some old desks at work and need some jamz ;)

Bose used to be really great. And I'm sure they still make some great products. But nothing in this price range touched the JBL for sound quality, weatherproofing, or price. JBL is now owned by the Harman group, that's the Harman from Harman Kardon, legendary in the audio world. I live in a large townhouse (1500+ sq ft), and it has no trouble at all filling an entire floor with music. It'll get really tested this week when I go back to work.

Love those speakers. I have the bigger one JBL Extreme. Perfect for my 59 Ford. Throw it behind the seat and all good, even with the windows down and all the rattles from the car falling apart. Still loud enough.

I'm kind of biased to JBL though as my brother in law has worked for them for the last 27 years.

I used to look at Bose first for most audio needs but after purchasing their wireless Bluetooth earbuds and not being to use them due to a delay I think I'll consider others. Jabra ended up being what I went with and they sold a single earbud to me after the pup got ahold of one. However the jbl Bluetooth we go for the back porch interrupts if you wake up the phone screen it's streaming from

So, it's not super scientific, but I downloaded an app for my phone and it confirms what my ears heard. I get audible response down to 55hz, but it really starts to kick at 60hz. Keep in mind this is at low volume levels, at night (I try to be a good neighbor), and from something the size of a tallboy. It's mind blowing to me they can get this kind of sound out of something this tiny. When I was growing up, we had battery eating boom boxes that had virtually no boom at all.

Suffering from severe hardware withdrawal symptoms after ordering 1920 X threadripper CPU and PSU & Motherboard yesterday, then i just had to do something about it today ( and at the same time hope my MOBO had come in stock )
So jumped into the little red lightning and headed off to the store, only to find the MOBO had not come in during the morning, so i had to pick up 4 TB of slow spinning storage to tie me over.
Now i just need to figure out what to put on that hard drive, maybe all those cool scale driving videos i am going to make, maybe just put my gigabit connection to work and download a lot of porn

I picked up a black ssd bulkhead, exotek diff case, fast eddy bearings, vanquish rear uppers and a vanquish f9 axle case for the rock rey build. Earlier this week I got the Losi alluminum servo mount and bell crank
