BLACK FRIDAY DEALS.....

I've been trying to buy an air rifle having had a few BB guns; the last one broke but was really powerful and accurate.
To say the idea hasn't gone down well is a vast understatement. You'd think I wanted to buy a heavy machine gun.
Off next week for a night shoot with a mate who has decent kit and a night vision scope; that's allowed.

The best RC vehicle I had was the Traxxas Revo. Had the nitro engine and two speed gear box. Loved taking it down the bmx/ scate park cos I could get it doing back flips off the 1/4 pipes (and land them). It used to well impress D Youth down there. But then I realised it was mega weird standing in a scate park at 35 years old, playing with a toy truck, whilst kids stood round watching. #Uncomfortable!!!!
I bought this for my 6 year old son , they were the biggest rc monster truck going when I was a kid .
Mine went a similar way; the ESC and spur/pinion gears just weren't man enough for the job; got through three ESCs, two motors and had to get the gears custom cast in steel (it came with plastic ones!!).
It's a great buggy but the last time I used it, the ESC was playing up again. Also upgraded the receiver to the non aerial version and went for a stick controller as I hate the trigger ones.
What was a fairly good VFM car has cost me a small fortune! Still fun when it works though.

Likewise, I just got fed up with rebuilding it, must have spent 5 times the cost of the vehicle on upgrades and replacement parts. Haven't got a clue where its gone actually.
Almost makes vans seem cheap...
My MTB phase (was almost obsessed) was the worst; I was constantly killing kit and it cost me a fortune! Now I ride far less, my bikes actually stay working for more than a week without needing replacements!
On topic, my bike rack has been dispatched; hurrah!

You'd better not get it before me !!!
It arrived - looks like the courier pretended he'd delivered yesterday but hadn't... Caused all sorts of confusion trying to track it.
Anyway it looks great - very well made and darned heavy! I'll get it on tomorrow if I can. Mentioned in the other thread but it says all vans but the Cali need stronger struts (the Cali has the strongest of four types of strut) - worth looking into.

A friend of mine owns Solware, be careful if you look on his site....you might get the buzz to order something
I pass their place a lot and they are there most of the time. Almost always plenty of vans outside...so they do exist.
