footage using it looks dumb smooth though

Now I got to spend $700 on that boy, it looks amazing

Yeah that was kinda tricky out the box but once you get it, it's a piece of cake from there. A few tips: It doesn't necessarily adjust well with super rapid turns so you'll have to move some to assist it. Also, if you're going to flip it and use it handle up/camera down while it's active, make that movement swiftly or it'll get funky for a sec and you'll have to manually adjust.

I'm working on some stuff with my kids and it's been a Godsend. I think what I'm doing now looks awesome but once I get more practice with it, I'm sure I'll look back on this footage like "ugh, I could have done x,y,z better".

But yeah, once you get something legit set up using it, feel free to share. I'll check it out.

Copped a 5 a few years ago and got a couple more years to go before it's paid for. The floating living room, a/k/a 7 Series, is a dream for me. Won't look to cop one for years after the 5 dies if at all though. I'm tryna drive the 5 til the wheels falls off unless I get one of them Powerball tickets right.

you don't buy one of those to drive it yourself.

that's not the point.

fuck you.

I've never considered it the way you do.

I can see where you're coming from though. The 5 is great to drive but that 7 is something serious.

Maybe I should add a driver to that wish of frivolous spending too.

those backseats are for the car owner.

All told, a good electric setup is faster than a nitro setup. You still have your pros and cons for each, but you can't argue the relative 'plug and play' nature of electric and it's quiet, so no noise complaints. Though you absolutely cannot beat the sound of a nitro car getting into second gear and winding out down the track

>i've been eyeballing shit again in the RC world myself...then
>again, I never stopped looking. Its my secret nerd obsession

I caught the bug in the late 90's when I found people that ran them and I could afford a hobby level kit. Bashing by yourself was cool, but learning how to race was a whole other discipline. When they opened a dedicated asphalt track in the area (301 Raceway) it was a wrap. We'd have people from NYC to FL make the trip almost weekly to the DMV to run. It was fantastic

because I actually really loved putting a kit together and everything I see that I might like outside of a straight up pan racer is all RTR. I want a 4wd kit car that wont break the bank

and actually, for some years now I've been toying around with the idea of starting a race series in my city using asphalt at parks...I'm imagining an intersection of after school program for the kids and something for adults who want to kick some ass racing

Few ways to look at it. One of the more popular classes now is short course trucks. One of the biggest providers of such is Traxxas with their Slash. Considering most of, if not all, of their products have been RTR from the T-Maxx days (and I don't think there are any more monster trucks that come in a kit anymore), it's easy to do a sell a RTR kit for cheap that you don't have to futz around with building it. Toss some batteries in and go. Other manufacturers follow suit to get some of that action.

Another reason is kits have got a lot better than a decade or so ago. While you may not have all the nice aluminum and carbon fiber parts, you do get a full set of bearings throughout and oil filled shicks (sometimes with adjustable collars) rather than bushings and friction shocks that you used to get with a RTR. 2.4 ghz radios are almost standard and worlds better than the AM crystal radios of yore (even though the radios themselves are still pretty bare bones). Some even come with a brushless option that's not too much more expensive than a decent brushed option. Either is faster and more reliable than the standard silver can 540 you'd get.

Add to that the brick and mortar hobby shops are fewer. Harder to get help building a car (or having the shop build it for you) if there isn't a shop with some helpful techs around. RTR you have everything you need without feeling you're being upsold.

All that said, there are always going to be some classes where a kit is the way (or only way) to go. Onroad, be it nitro, electric, 1/10 or 1/8, is going to be dominated by Mugen, Serpent, XRay, Kyosho, Capricorn, Shepherd, etc kits. Racers want to pick their electronics, engine, motor, etc, either because of personal preference or sponsors. But that's not what the majority is running now, for a number of reasons.

I'm having that internal dilemma now looking at the 1/8 GT class. There are a few RTRs out there that are very good (I'm eyeing that Serpent GTE). But I know the compromises of going RTR, so I'm also looking at that Mugen I posted (I still have my MTX4R that I raced with, so I'd be staying in the family). All comes down to money and time, as with most things

I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

Kinda scratched the Gibson itch with a new Gibson SG Special, but I really wanted the Les Paul but I really ain't wanna fork over 1.5k for it.

I'm a stoner and I have some disposable income, but damn man, I have to draw the line somewhere.

it's just such a terribly comfortable and powerful car.

I don't even like sedans, but that car has an suv engine.

it's the old negro cars of german vehicles.

Everybody telling me that BMW's always wind up having issues and my cousin got rid of his 7 series for a GS because he said the same thing.

So I'm probably gonna wind up getting a Hybrid GS or something

It's a flash cart for the Neo Geo. First of it's kind. I want the AES version which is $500. Do I need it? Nah. Do I want it? Hell yeah.

I'm trying to wait for a competitor to see if they can up the ante before I go in. Without something like this I would need to hit the lottery to ever get a complete Neo Geo set.

Rtings.com rates it as the best looking consumer TV out (all the 2017 LG OLEDs have the same TV panel - the difference is sound and styling.)

Luckily I have a good eye for picture quality - but NOT a professional's eye. I know someone who bought one and THEN bought a $1200 LUT box to tweak the colors even more!! (okay, so he's a professional video color corrector by trade.)

Also, how old is the 'old' TV?

"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.

It sounds as if that 'old' TV cost him some serious money, so I'm curious how he's going to get rid of it, assuming he does. He may just decide to move it to another room or something.

"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.

I put it on Craigslist for $725.

Someone is picking it up at 3:30pm today for $675.

I have a two bedroom condo and only have room for one 65" tv.

Old pic of that TV: https://twitter.com/tomhayes_sd/status/690247596061757440

I paid $1999 for it, so 2 years of use plus the lust for the new TV make this an acceptable loss for me.

It's way way way better than I thought it would be.

I usually get some form of buyer's remorse - but not this time.

One minor flaw: There's no HBO GO on it - have to use my Tivo or Xbox One for that. (I had a Sony with Android TV that had way more apps.)

What don't I want, is the question.

- 7-string classical, preferably from a Brazilian luthier
- Any decent hollowbody jazz guitar. Probably Ibanez is in my range.
- The Gon Bops marimbula (cajon-sized thumb piano, used in Cuban folk music)
- That new small TR-08 drum machine Roland just came out with.

I mean I'm going to Florida soon, but I'd rather be going to the Maldives.

Good vacation idea for lottery winners. Fine Dining tours of cities. Go to New York for a week with reservations for the top 14 restaurants. Researching and deciding what to book would be a huge part of it. I've never been to one of those top dollar restaurants before but we've all seen it on TV. Eating the top rated steak in the world and shit like that would be my version of cars and yachts. Break out the Michelin guide

I plan vacations based on restaurants.
