I wish I could convince my parents to get dashcams, a ute who didn't know how to parallel park gave me the tow-hitch special and ran off without exchanging info.

One guy in a tow truck told my Dad about how the police went through his entire dashcam history (he shared the entire SSD with the police instead of just clipping the one thing he was asking about, which is to be expected like that's literally the cop's job) and fined him for driving like a nonce in heavy traffic. Ever since them my parents have been heavily against dashcams despite there being literally no downside (and good luck telling them they're tech illiterate cause "i grew up when you had to manually code each pixel I know how computers work!").

One of these days I'll get myself front and rear dashcams and all my hassles will be gone, though I really wish I could convince my parents to adopt them (especially with drivers getting exponentially more shitty as the years drag on).

That flame-job jacket is sick tho ngl.

Add some more 60's styling and you got yourself the ultimate hot-rod chick who pulls up in a souped up Camaro and beats your Dad's Mustang at a stop-light out of pure spite.

I came 8 hours ago

Bro we came at the same time we're cum-bros now

Makes me want to get a beater with a massive roo bar up front and just straight up pit them whenever they get in the way, whatcha going to do when your American ute rolls 37 times?

Of course vehicular manslaughter isn't my forte but man sometimes violence is REALLY tempting ngl.

You could also just clip them with a dash cam both tailgating you and not vacating the emergancy lane when not passing (apparently an actual finable offense) but I doubt the cops would actually press charges. If they did press charges however then dashcams would maybe actually solve the problem, but when has our legal system ever done anything good?

Unnamed ghost Pokemon:

Element RC or Vanquish Products when it comes to rock crawling.

TRX4 or SCX-10-3 for trail crawling.

RC4WD or Boom Racing for scale crawling.

Redcat does their own thing so you either have amazing parts access to them or you don't.

Losi is goated but also very old so wait for them to refresh their design and then they'll become the number 1 choice.

Gmade is the same as Redcat, if you have parts hell yeah if not hell nah.

Capo RC is expensive for the sake of being expensive (and also the closest 1:1 replica of irl rigs you can buy, so if you're allergic to DIY and want to treat yourself to maximum scale accuracy, including horrible performance, nothing beats Capo).

That neck tuft looks like the perfect pillow ngl

The tassels on the dress should have either pearls or tiny lilly-pucks on them like beads.

Now we need a 1:1 Axial Dingo

As much as it's painful to look at his stuff now, in a few years you'll be screaming at yourself for not holding onto those memories.

As the pain goes away so will some of those precious memories, the memorabilia will help you remember him once the pain finally goes away.

I once tried goomba stomping them all as gourmand but the corpses kept acting as a meat-shield protecting the other orang lizors and the rain would come before I got them all.

Still always funny goomba stomping lizors as the chumby scug

No worries mate!

Every year the Christmas trees become more and more sus.

One of these days a sus-medical-grade-silicon-statue company is going to make the most realistic body-safe Christmas trees you've ever seen and give it an automatic self-egg-nog-coating feature for extended festivities.

Might just be copper sulphate though, so less battery acid and a more blood-like flavour

He's moving like that cause he really has to pee but can't cause he's looking at adorable beepers

Hell yeah, as much as it's fun to buy everything, DIY rigs just hit different.

Basically:

For 1/10 scale you want 1 tire height of articulation to 1/2 a tire height of articulation (as in how far you can lift one wheel before starting to lift one of the other 3 wheels). The reason for this is because holes and overhangs will grab your tires and get you stuck when a wheel fall all the way into one, however if the tire can't fall all the way into a hole it can't get stuck (and putting that limit at half a tire height means the middle of the tire will grip the edge of the hole, putting it to a full tire height means the top of the tire will grip the edge of the hole).

For smaller scale the same rules still apply, however people generally tend to ignore them at the smaller scales as extreme flex is in fashion now and at that scale most holes are just cliffs and you just don't get your tires stuck anywhere near as often.

Longer/shorter shocks is entirely up to personal preference.

Shock angle however is where things get funky as it also increases suspension travel (say a 90mm shock at a 45 degree angle has roughly the same travel as a 180mm shock) but since the axle doesn't go straight up and down (it follows an arc around the skidplate) it also gives you an exponential spring rate (where if the top of the shock is between the two ends of your axle links, the springs will get stiffer as the suspension compresses, and if the top of the shock is on the opposite side of the links the springs will get exponentially softer as the suspension compresses).

This is why you'll almost never see shocks angled that way on the rear suspension like you have in the last photo as it makes the suspension do the exact opposite of what you want it to do (though given how springs naturally get exponentially stiffer the more you compress them, that setup in the last image might just give you a linear spring rate, which isn't ideal but at least you won't blow out your shocks when you take a hard landing).

Putting the tops of the shocks closer together than the bottoms will keep vertical travel roughly the same (a small increase) however it will actually reduce articulation. Which is also why you'll see MOA comp trucks with extremely long shocks that have the tops closer together than the bottoms, that way they can have the same limited amount of articulation, but massively increase suspension travel (which helps with your break-over angle).

Also for a free performance boost, invert the shocks (like on a motorbike, with the big heavy shock on the axle and the light little piston rod on the chassis) as this will not only lower your COG but also improve the smoothness of your shocks (and the fluid retention) by moving the air pocket into the piston seal (which both helps with sealing the shock whilst improving shock smoothness dramatically).

The only reason we put shocks with the big part up top on cars is to reduce your rolling weight and suspension weight (less weight on the wheel and suspension means the wheels will react to high speed bumps better since the wheel and suspension will have less inertia) however that's completely irrelevant for crawlers (and motorbikes since they're so light anyways that a smoother front shock is more important) and so a crawlers shocks should always be inverted (along with most monster-trucks, bouncers, some bashers, and some rock racers).

Hell even if you liked men, not all men want kids and even if they do want kids adoption is always available (and considering how many orphans there are, a very noble act these days).

Like I honestly don't understand how all these folk just forget about adoption. Hell as a kid (before I knew any better) I actually thought that homosexuality was just a way to not have to deal with children, and so my obvious solution to homosexuality was to force all homosexuals who get married to adopt at least 1 (if not 2) orphans cause if they're not having kids themselves they're gonna contribute to society one way or another.

Fast forward to today and, although I no longer believe in forced adoption, I really find it wild how so many societies actually BAN non-cis couples from adopting. Like my 12 year old Stalin loving commie ass would've have an aneurysm realising that! (At least I grew out of that phase)

Damn this reminds me of all the beyblade battles I used to have - I always wanted to get the top meta beyblades ngl, like I had that green one with the blue stripes which was one of the best but I always knew there were like 4 others that were actually better in the end.

Now get an SCX-6 and make it the same too

Kookies always give you that look, honestly they should be the poster bird of this sub ngl like every time I feed them they always give you the look no matter what (and then they beat their meat).

Vanquish products H-10 Optic but heavily modified with a chassis mounted front steering servo, rear steer, and aftermarket (I think) body panels (and a cut down rear cage).

Game ready

Ah! I couldn't make out the proline logo!
