No Slack 454 Posted November 20, 2020 6 hours ago, c64orinoco said: Thats an impressive stack. Got a MiniDisc player? For me that was peak audio. I miss my MiniDisc players, all sadly gone now. I still use one of my portable minidiscplayers every day. The sound is great. Much better than most people remember or think. The first generation players had a bit of a harsh sound but the later models had this corrected in the software. Sadly when all was fine with Minidisc the MP3-players/Ipods became available and Minidisc died in 2013. Find a (portable)player (best a type R), buy Minidisc blanks still available from Japan, copy your music and enjoy.

dannymulder 766 Posted November 20, 2020 Finished the rebuild of my traxxas rustler 4x4 put way to much money in it , the car was a piece of junk when I bought it second hand. Gave the car a proper bash today on the beach, and ran 2 3s packs through it with no problems, I really like the car so in the end it was not all bad that I spend to much money on it. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got one of those when they came out and was so happy because I could skate to work without it skipping like a CD player. About a month later I was running across the street when it fell out of my sweatshirt pocket. I watched about 5 cars drive directly over it. It was flattened and I was bummed/*******ed. Anyone within a mile probably heard the string of cuss words that was flying for the next 5 mins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was hoping to have a better look tonight but long work day, home, kids, and early start put that on the back burner. It was built as per manual. I know the plastic diffs are apparently weak, but wouldn't have expected it to skip straight away. I am running the UGT tuned motor with a 20t and M grips. On 11/19/2020 at 8:18 PM, TurnipJF said: Word in the pits at one of the clubs I visited pre-Coronapocalypse was that the M-07 was prone to blowing diffs on high-grip surfaces, and most people built them with TA-06 metal gears and shafts to avoid this. With the M-08 diff being under even more stress under acceleration, I would think that the issue would be even more pronounced. Still, a bit disappointing that it happened so soon. I would have hoped for a few runs at least. On 11/20/2020 at 7:15 AM, berman said: Thanks, and I think you are right on the money. With the push from being rwd, plus the M grips, the carpet, and me giving it the welly right off the bat, has lead to its early demise. ☹ It is a bit disappointing for a not so basic kit though 😕. Tamiya and Diffs eh?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His gigs are particularly loud because he turns everything up...because he damaged his hearing early in his career!!!! I’ve had to start wearing those musicians earplugs at gigs now. J Mascis and K Shields in my case, but same effect! I have a low frequency tinnitus, a constant low rumble like there is always a plane overhead. Not so bad during the day, disturbing at night 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy pants 4485 Posted November 21, 2020 Put the NIB Lunchbox on eBay- it has been in the wardrobe since May and after a reality check with my sister it wouldn't work for my nephew to own it. Use it or lose it is my thinking The bearings haven't arrive for my Honda City Turbo, down to me- so I might bust out the Wild One tomorrow if time allows for it Still haven't done my tax though- 2 components done, 1 still to go....

I remember them needing an optical fibre lead - and the only thing I had back in the day that had one of them was my PS2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeadMeat666 1675 Posted November 21, 2020 Spent the last seven hours (3 tonight, and 4 last night) just building the shocks (not pictured), and sorting out the swaybars (pictured) on the M06! That translates into 2 steps on the manual lol. Behold the multitude of fixtures and fittings that are the M06's front end! Needlessly complex mechanisms have a special place in my heart 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
