I got this last time around and it’s a decent entry level truck for younger kids. Slower than my ARRMA big rock, which for kids is a good thing. Needed fiber/drywall tape and better shock fluid but combined it was $15 for a lot more durability. Batteries were ok as well. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to a traxaas or ARRMA truck, then this is a decent try at 1/3 to 1/4 of the cost.
Do you see a difference between this and the name brands? Of course you do but if you want to get in the hobby, this is much better than dropping $400 on an entry level LIPO truck.
@seraphimcaduto Thanks for that. I have long wanted to get into some part of RC, but so far I have restricted myself to just a decent photo/video drone. I might try a rock crawler someday, after I ditch the accumulated debris of way too many other things.
Flat tire!
What do you mean Flat tire? These don’t get Flat tire.
I mean, I’m Flat tire of seeing these types of diminutive ant carriers on here as the Daily Deal.
I mean, you can’t wear them, can’t eat them, can’t cook with them, can’t drink water from them, can’t stick them in your ears, …
@phendrick And they make terrible margaritas, they aren’t useful for whittling, they won’t charge your phone or light something up, they aren’t cotton, and they won’t keep four six-packs cold for several hours.
@mediocrebot@tweezak
Like the happy little splashes sign. The AI is getting too good.
Also. R.I.P. Bob Ross. I didn’t realize he passed away many years ago. But his happy little paintings inspired so many people, and will foster internet memes for years to come.
@mediocrebot@pmarin He is truly a legend so doubly appropriate for today’s meh. He was a good man. Spent his whole adult life teaching others to paint even before he went on TV.
I flew drones for almost ten years and flew miles and miles so I gotta pass on this deal. This guy on YT paid $160 for it apparently - five years ago. Here’s a YT review:
@Adamamesh Are you implying that Argentina doesn’t have a central bank that sets monetary policies like our Federal Reserve? And that they didn’t print massive amounts of new pesos?
@Adamamesh@pmarin “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our RC trucks, power banks, and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning” - Henry Ford, probably
@mehcuda67 By definition, isn’t everything here potentially IRK-some? I would not mind getting one of these in a future IRK (hint, hint ) it would likely be a defective return, but by the hobby nature of these, most likely repairable, though parts might cost more than this entire unit.

@werehatrack crawlers are fun too but on the slow side. Expensive hobby if you get too deep lol.
@seraphimcaduto @werehatrack For the uninitiated, where do you apply the fiber/drywall tape?
@mehcuda67 @seraphimcaduto @werehatrack I think it’s for binding up your significant other if s/he complains about you spending money on toy trucks.
Just kidding, don’t do that without consent and if you have safe word… Which you won’t hear through the tape.
Maybe a quick, short video will help move this mini monster truck!
@MrGoodGuy It’s quieter than i expected!

Idea for the gag picture.

By the way, I’m enjoying the retro meh faces. They actually give me a feeling that some thought went into them.
Kudos.
@tweezak Agreed!
@tweezak they’re much nicer than the AI ones.
@tweezak Agreed! The AI slop has been somewhere between disheartening and inscrutable for some time now.
@tweezak Seconded, thirded, fourthed…
@PooltoyWolf @tweezak @seanmsavage @omally
Everyone needs to tag Dave’s response in PtW’s original post about the clicky faces. If enough people do maybe they’ll keep it up…
Vroom Vroom!
I’m still trying to find a way to justify this.
But honey, it’s a tool, I’ll use it in the garden… honest!

@marknmd $160 five years ago is like $700 today! So this is a steal! (Also, End the Fed!)
@joshaw @marknmd inflation would be worse not better without the fed. Look at Argentina.
@Adamamesh Is this Ben, Janet, or Jerome typing?
@joshaw I suggest you go visit Argentina. Stay a while see what it’s like there.
Of course it might be fine for now because el presidente’s buddies in the US just bailed him out.
@Adamamesh Are you implying that Argentina doesn’t have a central bank that sets monetary policies like our Federal Reserve? And that they didn’t print massive amounts of new pesos?
@Adamamesh @joshaw
It’s great to have a site to discuss RC trucks, powerbanks, USB cables, and monetary policy.

Cover the red with mud. . . . no.
@jrwofuga Coach’s stock response to injuries was “rub some dirt on it and get back on the line” and I turned out ok so
@visioneer_one To be fair, none of us are Georgia Red. . i hope.
Question if the kids go to the RC park would the frequency of another controller affect it or each other?
@estepae If your kids start making inexplicable movements at the RC park, they are way too close to someone’s transmitter.

Does anyone else find the spelling of Laegendary Legend irksome, or is it just me?
@mehcuda67 By definition, isn’t everything here potentially IRK-some? I would not mind getting one of these in a future IRK (hint, hint
