I don't think Ive ever seen block finish a rally event here in WA.. this last time he rolled it in one of the first stages on the first day.. He can drive, but he's better at marketing.

Random timing for this topic. Planning on picking up a traxxas slash 1/16" tomorrow for my sons birthday.

Sounds like we made a good choice..

the key to graphite is to apply it, and then not touch the thing, as its effects wear nearly immediately, IIRC. My boss (and his son) cnc'd a cool one awhile back, but had much better results the next year when they manually made it.. heheh.

I get paid monthly, which requires you to be a bit more active in your money management.. so we started withdrawing a sum of money at the beginning of each month, and dividing it up by the weeks in the month. Before this system, we used to spend several hundred dollars in the first week, and by the ...

the parts could logically be machined at a much lower cost given your low quantity, unless i'm missing something.

on the originals, was the plastic molded around the brass? or was the brass placed in after the plastic was finished?

Amy thoughts on a mixed 3 Channel a/b and D class. Built in 2way cross over to a full range out to the A/B side for stereo and the low pass to a mono class D. Same thing can generally be accomplished with a 4 channel, and at a much lower cost. Theres obviously some small benefits you're missing out...

Android relies heavily on the google cloud, so I cant really imagine using one without. email, contacts, etc are all tied directly to your google account, and I dont think you have any other option..

I also noticed the r60's are on sale for 69.99, which is probably a much better buy. None of the fry's near my location had them available though, and $66 for shipping killed that option. Might have better luck in other areas though. Ive had some time to actually listen to them now, and I have to sa...

I had the dell mini-9 for awhile, and i'd recommend staying away from it. poor quality screen and odd keyboard layout were pretty big drawbacks. The newer dell 10" looks to have taken care of at least these two issues, and they're available for pretty cheap in the dell outlet.
