Cooler Master Spartan. Hand airbrushed in PPG and cleared. They made 50 of them. I think mine is #24 of 50. Every one of them was different since they were done by hand. Lifetime warranty on the paint.

Holy moly Gregg!!
That's a serious computer case!
I don't have room to talk...I won't mention how much I spend on race tires, and my tires are cheap compared to, say, a Corvette.
Oh well, we all spend stupid money on hobbies, eh?
Speaking of spending money...we bought a new fridge tonight. Expensive buggers...
BTW, Gregg, the 206B has been a great charger. I'm impressed with it.
I did notice one strange thing with the Savox servo. I've lost 3 screws for the servo horn. I used some blue Loctite on this last one. We'll see if that keeps it in place.

Yeah, it comes with a nice pricetag. And I didnt really post it off topic. I said I would trade it for something good.

And Fridges arent my favorite way to spend money!
Im liking my 206B too, I think its a great charger. Its been flawless for me.
Also, I always blue loctite anything that can move like that. If it falls out once, it gets blue. If it falls out again, it gets red!
I need to get unlazy and post all of my RC stuff for sale I dont want.

Hey guys, I finally soldered my RX8 in and drove around the living room.
Question - if I gun it (only for a second in my house!) there is a solid thunk type sound - maybe the dog bones clunking, or the motor starting. Any ideas on what it could be? - will try to get a video later. Normal driving slowly is fine - sounds great, it is just the initial jump off the line.
I did wonder if it wasn't in sensored mode, but taking out the cable was an eye opener. So my problem isn't cogging.
And I don't like soldering those darn posts. Make it a little bigger and put in some binding posts.
Oh, and windex will get tire marks off of hardwood...

Yeah, if you check the slack in the diffs, thats all if can be, unless you are missing a tooth off of one of the covered diffs. Which is a little unlikely.

Super f'in stoked right now!! just bought a bunch of stuff on ebay for my SC8e. I got FT front and rear shock sets, all 4 alumiunum hinge pin plates + hinge pins, complete front, rear and center CVA kits and a complete set of all 8 axle bearings for $208 shipped to my door!! all brand new!! i put all that in my AMain shopping cart and it was over $330 and that was without the bearings, shit the front/rear shocks alone are almost $120 and the 4 hinge pin plates another $80 or so. When its all said and done im gonna have a FT SC8e!!

Yeah i know. I hit something that jogged the motor loose just enough to make the pinion strip the gear. Next time ill make sure the motor is securely screwed down.

Good rule of thumb we used to use on the nitro meshing, was to rip off a strip of paper and feed it though. Thats about the thickness you want away from the gears. You dont want them binding. These spur gears are made to last a few race seasons, and yes, Im talking about the plastic ones. You definitely have the mesh set wrong.

Naahh, that means he has got to spend the double on her next time
