  1. It was $99 for a long time. I got one at that price from there. They also had a bunch of other random parts that were on sale with the old website, but aren't with the new one. I have noticed that some of the links on their new website also don't work and give an error. Maybe they still have some work to do on the website before we start seeing the discounted prices.
  2. By fake, the entire contents of the bottle aren't Olive Oil. Sure, it may say 100% Olive Oil on the label, and they may have used 100% Olive Oil to make it, but only 10% of the bottle is actually Olive Oil. The rest of it could be cottonseed oil or vegetable oil. It's like buying a good Scotch. You either get Single Malt, or you get the crap that's blended with cheap whiskey. Me? I'll have the Single Malt Olive Oil. Orygun? Sounds weird. How do they pronounce Oregano? Do they say Oryguno? There's an E in there, which makes an "eh" sound. So, I say Or-eh-gun. I would have to hear the Oregon / Michigan thing, because I don't see a difference in text. I say Mishagun. I'm also in Texas, and would probably be the one to go to Oregon and tell everyone that they're pronouncing their own state wrong.
  3. I wouldn't eat gummy bears the entire day, but a small bag or 2 wouldn't hurt. Also, if you have carb cravings, you can find dark chocolate that's got 10-18 carbs per serving. If you look at serving size, it's usually something like 4 squares of the bar. When you have a bad craving, have 1 square. That's only 2.5-4.5 carbs for that bite. Don't chew it and swallow it immediately. Let it sit on your tongue and melt. Taste it as long as you can. By the time it's gone, your craving will be as well because you just satisfied it. Lack of variety? Not counting sardines, I run through a rotation of fish for each day. Salmon one day, Tilapia the next, and Catfish after that. Don't fall into the rut of only using one method to prepare something. I can cook those 3 fish so many different ways that I have yet to get bored. Don't even get me started on the BBQ pit. I find recipes and save them to my phone planning my meals days in advance just waiting to try them. You should start reading recipes, experiment with different spices and seasonings. I stick with fish by personal choice. You still have the option of pork, steak, and chicken to play around with. Find recipes that use almond flour. Your variety gets even bigger. An example that I have had and would reccomend: https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-white-pizza-with-mushrooms-and-pesto A coworker used that recipe for the crust. Then mixed a little bit of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing together to make the sauce. Then pulled apart some cooked chicken with a fork and layered that on and topped it with cheese. He brought a slice to work for me to try and it was excellent. He called it buffalo chicken pizza. Coconut oil is good for cooking. Real Olive oil goes on everything else. That's kinda the rule I follow with oils. Both oils are good for weight loss. I only buy 2 brands. California Olive Oil and Luccinni. Those are real and 100% olive oil. Some reading on Olive Oil. https://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/seven-ways-to-tell-the-difference-between-real-and-fake-olive-oil-article https://www.foodrenegade.com/how-tell-if-your-olive-oil-fake/ I've got another link somewhere that gives you a list of all of the real ones in the US. There aren't many. I'll see if I can find it later.
  4. Two trucks I have been curious about, but never got around to looking into. Very nice. Also, I recently started using that same servo (2 of them) and really like them so far.
  5. Your's are also nice. I like the silver metal panels on the first one. Have you upgraded to metal hubs on both or just the silver one?
  6. This is how I have always interpreted it. When you're trying to lose weight and have weight to spare, your body will get used to the lack of carbs and you'll plateau out. You'll stop losing weight. You change that by bringing in a bunch of carbs and your body has to adjust for the amount of energy going into it by processing all of those carbs you ate. The next day when you're back on keto, your body will be expecting lots of carbs like the day before, but they won't be coming in, so it'll go back to burning fat for energy. Just gotta jump start the cycle sometimes. If I eat a large amount of carbs on a "carb day", I sometimes wake up hot with a heavy heart beat because my body is trying to process all of those carbs while I sleep. Beer is bad. If you don't start dropping weight for a few days, it'll because of the beer. Try Seagrams Lime Gin or Hendricks Gin and Diet Mountain dew. Alcohol + Caffeine and no carbs. I don't even bother with calories. My opinion is that calorie counting is a marketing trick to keep you buying foods labeled as "low calorie". Also, there's a batter you can make that uses Almond Flour with much less carbs. I've also made three pizza's so far using almond flour to make the crust in a 9" pie pan. They were great. I like cheese cake on a carb day. It means that I can eat the crust. Please send her to my house. My girlfriend isn't allowed to touch my lawn mower any more. She tries to mow everything. Sticks, rocks, bricks, the street curb, and a tree stump. If your crabgrass is anything like ours, pulling it up is a waste of time. I've got a spot in my yard that won't die. I've pulled it out, dug up the dirt and put new dirt down and it came back. I tried killing it with herbicide and a month later it sprouted again in the very same spot. I'm considering burning that spot. Wait. Don't send her to my house. One is enough. My girlfriend does the exact same thing. A new disease starts appearing all over the news caused by a fly native to a tiny town in some foreign country, and for weeks afterwards, I have to hear about how she has the same symptoms and thinks she's got it. This last time, her complaints carried on so much that I got her to go to a doctor. Bloodwork and everything was done. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with her. She didn't like that and immediately went to another doctor who also said there was nothing wrong, but gave her the suggestion of changing up her diet to see how she feels. That's the one thing I have been saying for years. She eats processed high carb TV dinners for lunch, and that's the one thing I have been trying to get her to stop buying. She told the doctor what she eats and the doctor told her those were bad. She then goes to the grocery store and comes home with twice the amount of TV dinners she normally gets, claiming it's one last hurrah before she quits. Currently, after this last doctor visit, and with the exception of the TV dinners that she has left, I've got her following the same pescatarian diet as me. How long will it last? My guess is about 2 weeks then back to normal. The root of all of this is the news. If we can get them to stop watching the news, this wouldn't happen. I knew someone like that. A small breakfast in the morning and beer throughout the day. It was like they never ate and were skinny as a twig. I aim for 1 a day within an hour of waking up. 3 a day does happen, and 2 in one day is a good day. I feel so much more energetic after each time.
  7. I just did it and got the email immediately. Are you sure you used the correct email address and spelling? I did get a response back from TamiyaUSA telling me to use "Forgot Password". I am logged in and can see my order history. My recent order shows to have been shipped, but when I try to track it, I get a server error. Another email has been sent. I've only ever used Paypal there and have done quite a few parts orders. The way I got paypal to work was: Not logged in, add everything you want to your cart. You'll see a paypal button at the bottom. Open a new tab and login through that tab. Go back to your other tab and click the paypal button. When it opens, you'll be logged in and paying with paypal. It worked that way for me every time. If I logged in first, the paypal button wouldn't work, or I just didn't have that option. Don't know if the new site has improved, but that's how I always have done it. Never used a credit card there after everything I read about.
  8. The new site is live. I wonder how this will affect an order on parts that I made last week with the old site. Usually after making an order there, it would ship 2 days later. I now know why the delay in shipping. I cannot login to the new site with my old account info (gotta make a new account). Searching by order number pulls up nothing. Going to have to send an email.
  9. Your paint work is always amazing with the weathering. Are you painting multiple colors on the outside and sanding through to reveal the layers below?
  10. What about these? How well would nylon nuts hold up? https://www.ebay.com/itm/50pcs-nylon-hex-nut-plastic-nuts-Hexagon-PC-Electronic-accessories-M2-M12T-BLCA/183318667767?hash=item2aaea4e1f7%3Am%3Am2_rDXrJsBV0BfLUpd910Cg&var=690619253912&_sacat=0&_nkw=plastic+nuts&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0
  11. Reminds me of all of the episodes where Top Gear complained about automatics, lol.
  12. I'm still doing everything I listed in Round 2 of my post. Olive oil, eggs, sardines, fish and vegetables. I still avoid beer, bread, pasta, and rice. Once a week, I ramp up the carbs (BBQ sweet potato has become my current favorite for the last 3 weeks). I'm still sitting at 148, though it does fluctuate to 150 depending on what time of day I weigh myself. I have noticed that I have increased my meal size in portions that don't have carbs, such as the amount of fish I eat in one meal. I need to back off, because I am eating to the point that I really feel full afterwards, and that's just going to point me down the wrong path where I get hungry more often. My latest irresistible craving is deviled eggs. Up until recently, I had never made them before. Probably only ever had them once or twice in my life. I found a recipe and have been experimenting with modifying that recipe and creating the perfect deviled eggs all the way down to choice of eggs. Sounds silly, but I ate 9 of them throughout the day today. And, I think part of that was because of what I said above about finding myself eating more fish. I eat the eggs between meals, and am going to have to force myself to stop making them. Some days I barely go over 30 carbs. I've been working a lot of hours and just throw together a piece of fish, some spinach and diced tomatoes. I'll eat that twice throughout the day with sardines in between and that's about it. If I am coming off of working nights, i'll have a couple eggs before going to bed. On the lower carb intake days, I will add 1 small square bite of chocolate which is another 10 carbs. I've also been using the chocolate to regulate an "on command" daily bathroom cycle to take place before I leave for work. Nice job avoiding your wife's carb filled temptations.
  13. Did you back the paint with anything yet, or is it just the blue paint? If the masks are still there like in your picture, you could back it with black to try to darken the color down a little.
  14. Omni has it: https://www.omnimodels.com/cgi-bin/woi0001p?&I=TAMC7367&P=7
  15. Who allowed them to use tools? Wow. That's crazy. Same here. I won't buy a car with an Automatic. I've owned a few when I was younger, and just hated driving them. Got any pics of the MGB?
  16. ^ This. My father and I restored a '79 Silverado in the early 90's to be my first vehicle. It was rusted out and had a trashed diesel motor in it that we swapped for a gas motor. We started when I was 14yrs old working on it nearly every weekend and had it ready to go when I got my license at 16yrs old. When I was 18, I sold it to a friend because I wanted something different. That friend wrecked it 2 months later, completely totaling the truck. I've regretted selling it ever since. Every time I see one of that body style, I remember driving mine. Also, what transmission is in that corvette?
  17. @Dansleeth That should be it. I have that same pinion on a GoolRC motor that has a 5mm shaft.
  18. The sport tuned has a shaft size of 3.175 and it looks like your black pinion/blue motor could be a 5mm shaft size. Edit: Misread your post the first time around. You'll need a pinion of .6 mod and 5mm shaft to put the blue motor in your Tamiya. Hobbyking sells them.
  19. The only reason I could think that it had no traction was because it was hotter than the last time I ran it.
  20. I've gotten a few of their bodies and really like them as well.
  21. Nice. Did you get that from oldrc.com (sabulatech on eBay)?
  22. Yeah, a little further North, it did get hotter. We haven't had rain for a little over a week. I tried running the RM-01 in 102F heat. I couldn't get any traction at all with the foam tires. It was like driving on ice.
  23. 87F is like winter to me.
  24. You have to take a minute to admire the contents inside each new kit upon arrival and then spend another 5 minutes trying to get it all back in the box. I think it's an unspoken rule or something.
