It looks like they just shoved a variety of bolts into a box with fewer compartments than different bolt types. Theres no way for the bolts to get mixed up in the box because of the tight fitting snap lid but, they are indeed scattered everywhere. Waste of $30

That's weird. I've had pretty good luck with their kits on my two axials. Everything I needed was in there. I ordered one for my slash. I hope it's not messed up like yours.

Actually now that it was mentioned, I remember getting one for like my Losi XXX-T and nothing was correct.

We have had Thunderstorms everyday we have been here, so not doing much but a little target practice and some 4wheeler riding in the mud. I did find a tractor and we did finalize a floor plan for the house.

You better be setting up a range and a 4wheel area so we all can come down and blow some **** up!

their rc10 kit has (or had) either the wrong countersink angles or the heads were just too tall, the heads were raised about 1/16" from the pan when i tried to use them. not good... other than that i've never had an issue with rcscrews, but then again i've never completely swapped screwsets, just bought the screw kits for spares.

its pretty fast. i do miss the days when our company would drop off a fully ram'd up mac and not just something off the shelf.

some co-workers have went as far as buying their own ram to put into their work machines.

Need more than that... like top of the line CPUs, top of the line memory, top of the line GPUs. All stuff Apple can't and won't sell you!

more like no no, i've busted my ass all week and would like to have the days that you dont pay me for as my own. in which i would get a response that went something like "no we dont want you to work over the weekend, but just know it has to be done monday"...

i was in a good spot with my work, but a subjective comment on my execution put me back at the start.

Hey guys just a heads up. I was playing at the woods yesterday.


It got trashed a bit with the large storm that just rolled threw. Huge Oak's busted. That cool spot we add the log bridge has a very large tree in the middle. Bridge is down, that's a easy fix. It will just take a few of you to move. City is cleaning but all I see cleaned is the main path.

I do think there movable but wanted to give you a heads up. You might have some clean up work before your comp.

Good luck, have fun

You ever have one of those nights where, all you want is to make progress on a build but, your stuck, brain fart.. Then you just stare at it for a while hoping something will come to you.. Ugghh. I'm having one of those nights.

Engineering shit to function correctly, be efficient and look good can be difficult at times. I'm giving up for tonight. I'm sure tomorrow will come around and it'll just come to me and I'll say "damn, that was easy.. Why didn't I think of that yesterday?"

You builders know what I'm talkin' about

[badhoopty]

i know for sure ive spent more time staring at some of my projects than building them.
