On a matter of speaking, today's items aren't, technically, my "latest purchase"...and, technically, they weren't actually delivered today...but, they did come into my possession today.
What better way to celebrate Christmas away from home, away from all who l whom I love & care about, than to get not one, but two, gifts on Christmas Eve day (even if I did buy them myself). Here's a quick hint of one:
As many know, I'm a Professional Chauffeur...and, starting today, I begin another 10-day stretch of living out of a hotel (will continue this through March...or later, if FEMA extends the contract). I don't get to spend Christmas Eve, Christmas, NYE, or NYD, with my family. On top of that, if I need to go anyplace further than walking distance, there's a "problem". So, to 'help' me in my time away, I decided it was time to get my next RC...but, this isn't just any RC.
It has a Hobbywing ESC, runs on 10S, and has a 2Ch Tx...and, for those about to guess a boat, you're wrong. It has 4 wheels, and 2WD...but, NO steering servo. On fact, it has no externally-controllable steering at all. Although it runs on 10S, its max speed is approx 24mph. Confused? Be confused no more:
My newest 'RC' is a Backfire G2 Black E-skate (ie. electric skateboard). I ordered it approx a week ago, but knowing it might not arrive until after I started my next 10-day rotation driving the nurses, I decided to have it shipped to the hotel the drivers (and nurses) are put up at. This is to be my "transportation" (well, as soon as the rain subsides...thankfully, I also brought several days-worth of food) for anyplace I want/need to go that's further than 'walking' distance.
And, yes, I did pick up the usual safety gear...but, that's only for daytime riding. What about riding at night? That's where the second package comes in. I also ordered a complete sweet of ShreadLights, including mounting brackets, so that I can be safe...and SEEN...at night.
~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place
