I like the size of it, being a dslr and all. I have used some of those huge dslr's no good for carrying around.

The price cant be beat too. $450 with a lens. I think there will be a lot of rc action photography this summer for you guys to see

Checked out your semi thread Lee and now I think I need one! Only problem is that the Baja takes all of my money and hides it from me. I found a Testors Decal maker on tower for cheap. They are only waterslide decals like 1:24 models use, but the system is way cheaper than getting custom vinyl ones made. I made some and just put some scrap clear from the sheets that come with the kits over them and they hold up better.

I see they moved this again.

Wow Tex, you havent been around here much. Yeah, the Lounge 2 got too big and was causing too many errors.

Spend my time on HeliFreak and RunRyder

I am still waiting for the day when TEX get another Tamiya...

The Hedgehog

Hey TEX, ever pay LB the money you ripped him off?

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXSMM2**&P=0 can any one tell me if this is a good plane?

calvino

Eeeh, its OK, IDK what your budget is though which greatly varies what you can get [>:]. I learned on a combo of FMS (free model simulator thingie) and the GWS Slow Stick [8D], anything amazing happen durring my time away from the Lounge? Tex, glad to see you back

Ttam Says Blarg

When did you leave?

cumquat

i might have $130 for everything including tax (michigan 6% state tax[:@]). if money wasnt such a big deal i would go with what my uncle told me to start out on, a nitro cudet cub or something like that, i dont remember. i considered a skyfly2 but this is cheaper in the sense that it is only $110 with lipo and an fm radio. i also like that when i am ready for a bit mor power there is a dual duct upgrade and if i want an areobatics plane i can get the upgrade wings.

Eh?

Oh well. Been kinda busy over here. I'm mad because none of my packs seem to want to hold a charge anymore. [:@] Not sure what happened to them but I'm sure it's due to my general n00bness.

It's finally starting to warm up a little here, although it's still 20-40 out at night. At least the days are approaching or even exceeding 60, so that's nice. Those long, warm summer days are just around the corner!!!

Ttam Says Blarg

Im so happy for summer! Its 75 all summer here so its going to be nice! Partys at the lake!

The Hedgehog

I am a big fan of the long days now. I can run RC when I get home from work now!

Lunchboxer

When I go home from work, it is like 8PM.. no RC running...

I have a general RC question (for electric vehicles) - what purpose does a (one speed) transmission serve? I know it does gear reduction, but is that it?

In looking at the Durga, you have the spur turning a smaller gear directly, which turns the belts, which turn the F/R diff pulleys. No transmission though, right? I must be missing something...

Lunchboxer

Yeah, gear reduction.. and sometimes, just for packaging reasons.. i.e., you want the motor here, and want the driveshaft here, and here you got more room, etc.

Lunchboxer

Have you guys seen Slumdog Millionaire?! I saw that on DVD the other night.. pretty good!!

DarkFire989

Nope, had no intrest. But I did see Pulp Fiction over the weekend. Great movie!

secretsg

LEDs my friend. LEDs.

Eman77

LB - I saw Slumdog, and really liked it. I fully expected not to (since movies that get a lot of awards and tend to be over-hyped)....but I did enjoy it quite a bit. I like how it all unfolded. Neat movie.

Lunchboxer

LOL.. more like I would be tired and too lazy to go out and run RCs..

But I do sometimes... ha!!

secretsg

Micro-T/Desert truck/raminator time?

Lunchboxer

Yeah, pretty cool... unusual to see a less mainstream movies to win Oscar.. nice.. !

feo

Ive been hearing so much about SlumDog. Is it worth the watch? I was told its about a boy who used his his memory of past events to answer questions correctly on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"?
Sounds kinda silly to be honest...
