Can I ask one thing? Can we please keep the toxic world of politics out of here? This was one of the last places I could go for an escape from the constant negativity. Peace, love, rainbows, and unicorns.

I usually build many of my traxxas kits by buying individual parts. I always use rpm offset compensating front arms, rear arms, and rear hubs. I hate non threaded shocks, never use stock shocks. Love the gtr shocks and the proline. So it is always cheaper for me to build this way. You can find parts from breakers on Ebay usually a little cheaper.

I bought my first disaster prep item today. A bag of dog food. Still have 1/2 a bag left, but that is the one thing I can not do without. I will go hungry before my dogs do.

Anyone interested in the other items? Prices not set in stone.

I have one listed in my shop clean out post.

I tried that for a while, but the problem I ran into is I have 30 of the bins all over the place. I still use them for parts for a particular chassis. It's all the extra junk. I have a container of step screws and ball ends of different sizes I have no idea what and where they are used. I can't be the only one with the container of stuff and the 3 piles of screws on the bench?

I am cleaning and trying to organize my small screws and small bits again. I can not find a method that works well for me. When I I disassemble a kit I keep everything in a bin until I put it back together. I am having issues with the extra assorted screws, hardware, and leftover bits from repairs. Please show or describe how you combat the pile of assorted stuff consistently piling up. Thanks in advance.

Here is my setup. It is a room I walked up in my 2 car detached garage or workshop. Have a much needed window a/c for summer, a kerosene heater for winter, fridge, direct tv, and a blue ray player for my other weakness, movies. I do have an air rifle out here I use to get rid of squirrels on my house roof. (Had them in my attic 2 years ago) and all my firearm cleaning supplies are stored out here, but my firearms are located in my house.

Paint blue where you want your pinstripe, use thin vinyl tape the thicknes6od stripe you want, mask off top or bottom, spray next color, damask and mask other color but leaving vinyl tape for pinstripe, paint the last color. It is more work and will take more time waiting for each color paint to dry, but it will give you a straight line. The trick is finding tape the thickness you want your pinstripe.

Are you painting a hard body or lexan?
