I'm surprised that you guys don't do more working from home.

It would actually save the company money by not having the lights or other utilities on if they made a policy that Wednesday (random day during the week) only the IT department comes in while everybody else works from home. Work being the key word of course...
Well it's almost 7PM and I am starting my workday from home

You buy one and never get one again. A lot stronger than the Hummer body and more protected.

But yeah. Holy ****

Yeah especially comparing them to a 1:1 civic shell you can get for the same price.

I actually got mine for the lowest price sadly. Ive seen other sites that charge more.

What I dont understand is why FG makes the shell in 2 separate pieces. The front bumper is sold separately.

Maybe if you destroy the front it can cut down on costs to only replace 1/2 of it

Hahaha.

Just sold my FG Stadium wheels. Put them on eBay about an hour ago and they were sold.
Nice!!

I seen that statically you would get more money if your auction ends on a Thursday or Sunday. I don't know how much truth is behind that but it was on TV, not the Internet

I don't even visit there since most people don't ship overseas. Also, when I click the filter KIT, I see a lot of RTRs in there.

Right, the smaller the tool is, the less surface area it has and blah blah blah good point, so il just make a nice ''air and coolant'' mixture, not ''mist'' but the air is what drives the coolant out at a high rate of speed since the pump wont' be to powerful. Its still amazing how many chips that 3-flute can produce if you aren't careful I did notice I had less chatter issues when i did have a little lubrication (any kind, oil or Kool 77 mixture) at the cut site so that should help reduce engine load and maybe allow me to drop the rpm's a lil [&:]
Chatter issues are such a joy [:'(]

The only advice I can give is there is no blanket solution to it. Some times it is the tooling, others the material, where the position of the sun is in the sky...

Does anyone know an US seller that sells 3racing parts? I wanted to pick up the aluminum steering set to my DF03RA the steering is terribly sloppy and I put a nice servo in it which is pointless right now.

Not me.

Kids played out back with the dogs today, it was hilarious. Dogs (golden retrievers) had snow past their chest, the kids could barely walk.

Shoveling is gonna be fun.
