Is that an avant? I was behind one the other day and it was manual. You just don't see cool cars like those on the road very often.

It is and a manual. 2003 B6 with some little Audi quirks. Been almost 2 years of research and wrenching to get to this point. In the neighborhood of 330-350hp from a 1.8L and getting 24mpg on the highway. Can load up the family if need be but use it as a work commuter/daily for me.
Picked up a well used SCX10 Pro roller with a broken driver C hub and axle shaft. I'll give it a bit of maintenance with new pumpkins and some brass. Ugly FJ55 body will be going on this, with a nice aggressive body trim as this is gonna be 100% crawler. Since the body caters to TF2 chassis, I will also keep it 1.55 size wheels and 3.75 tires. Just need a few more things and this build can be started.
Well, got the scx10.3 JL kit today. Im on the fence now lol. Do i build it or save it for my munchkin? Shes been askin for one for awhile, but shes not picked one out she likes. I kinda want it for the body lol

I thought about grabbing one for the body. Sell the kit and make most of the money back.

I used a 15% Amain coupon to pick up a Kyosho Beetle kit. I'm not a vintage guy but I always thought these looked cool. They have a nice blister pack presentation in the box, pre-cut body, mostly metal construction and come upgraded to handle modern power systems.
Having been inspired by these beauties I've seen online, I won't be doing box-art with mine.

Not starting a build thread for this yet as it would be cutting in front of other builds in the queue, but here's the Tundra.
Took the stickers off along with the roll bar, and suspended the body up to mock wheels under it. I want it to be as capable as possible without sacrificing any of the body/wheel arches.

The ad just came up again.
Looks like NCF24A and NCJ24 are no longer working - but NCF24 is, and should be valid until April 30th.
Does anyone know if the codes are a "one shot" per account or if they can be used multiple times by the same account?
^ I'd like to know that as well as I haven't used that coupon yet.
Got my scale 15's today. They're actually 2" but these specific ones are the look I want. Plan is to build a woofer wall in one of my rigs and make or have someone print me some JL stickers to put on them.

Might end up buying a ton more of these Locked Up RC printed stands. I know there's a ton of different ones out there but I like the idea of random colors given.
Can't wait to get home and test fitment on the Tundra.

It's that time...time to build a new computer. Something happened to the old desktop...tho, honestly, not sure if the problem is the mobo, CPU, or both. Compounding matters is that no one makes LGA 1200 mobos in ITX format...all are 'discontinue'. So, instead of searching/buying a used/refurbished mobo, decide it's was best to just build a new one.
Pictured is everything except the case (the recently-released Asus Prime AP201 TG), and the GPU (will be transferring the RTX 3070 Ti from the old desktop, into the new). On the 'plus' side, not all will be "lost" from the old system. Not only with the GPU live on in the new desktop, but the two Samsung M.2 drives will be transferred to my XPS 15 laptop (in RAID 0, of course), and the RAM & PSU will be sold.
As for the new system, components are a follow:
Mobo - MSI MAG B760M Mortar WiFi II
CPU - Intel Core i7-14700KF
PSU - Seasonic FOCUS PX-850 850W 80 Plus Platinum
RAM - 48GB (2x 24GB) Corsair Pro DDR5-6000
CPU cooler - NZXT Kraken 360
Fans - 3x Lian Li UNI-FAN AL12 V2 RGB
Boot drive - 2x Samsung 980 Pro M.2 500GB (in RAID 0)
Data drive - 2x Samsung 870 EVO M.2 1TB (in RAID 0)
Case & GPU already mentioned

I’m not doing another at my old age. The speed these have been is unbelievable since my DOS days .
My fusion , slicers, and photoshop all work perfectly well for me. As I’m 70, I’m worrying less and less about that……. And no depends ..yet[emoji2956][emoji848]

Not exactly sure what you mean by l, "Can't hide money"...although, at the same time, I'm not all that curious to actually know. Just because I'm reusing the RTX 3070 Ti doesn't make it any less of a "fill build"...after all, I'm still building a full computer. As for spending $3K to build your new computer, why? As pointed out by mikemcE, below, systems these days are so overpowerful that there's no longer any need to build a true high-end system.
In complete agreement that today's systems are so overpowered, way beyond what they're actually being used for, that's the reason I don't feel any need to build a super high-end system. I don't play video games anymore (my first gaming console predates the Atari 2600), thus, there's no need for a top-of-the-line CPU or GPU. I'm not going to give my age away...but, I'm extremely familiar with DOS (MS-DOS, as well as PC-DOS). I'm also more than familiar enough with 8.5" floppy disks, tape drives, punch-card programming...and, while I never learned all the programming languages, I was familiar with FORTRAN, PASCAL, COBOL, and Assembly. These days, the most 'intensive' any of my processing is is in photo & video editing. Zork, anyone?
