Already broke the only rule 😬 But it was dark, and in the back garden. I’m in no rush to take it off and we’ve a lot of people to see this coming week. I feel like a 1 man army, but I’ll wear it proud (even if hidden under an even less acceptable xmas jumper) 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Captain Howdy Posted December 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) I bought myself boring music software for Christmas, I'm actually over the moon though. Great to see everyone's RC pressies and talk of more wife's/girlfriends/women in general being involved with RC, I think it would be a great thing for the hobby. Women could be just as good as men or better at driving RC cars, no physical restrictions but I'm aware of a scientific study that suggests women have an impaired sense of visuospatial awareness? Parking? I'd like to see some females prove that theory wrong I draw the line with Chopper Bob though (Zoe Turr) that Woman shouldn't be allowed to fly helicopters. Joking aside All the best folks !

Popular Post Yorkshireman Posted December 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2021 Nothing RC related....socks, jumper, t shirts...smellies! But, a lovely heated body warmer for when I'm out with the dog or car(s) 🙂 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't make it up! I've told them all I want nothing anymore, and yes, it's because I don't want stuff I'll never use. These people just don't get RC or hobbies in general. Rant over. So frustrating isn't it @Tug . I got asked what I wanted for my Birthday by family members so I made a little list of RC stuff I actually needed ~ got asked; "isn't there anything other than RC stuff you want?" 😩 Why ask what I want if as soon as I tell you I get asked isn't there something else instead?! Anyway thankfully I did get some things RC related today that I wanted in the end as my Mrs got me some Losi parts and this afternoon my Dad gave me some gears from the USA. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkoon Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) can a 43 inch tv be mounted on plaster board? Edited December 26, 2021 by Yrkoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant.p Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 4 hours ago, Yrkoon said: can a 43 inch tv be mounted on plaster board? Yes, for sure. Ideally, when putting the bracket on the wall, use any timber you can find in the chosen area. A magnet will find screw/nail heads so you know where studs are. Then you will get (at least some) really good hold to carry the weight. For the remaining fixings into plasterboard there are lots of options; ‘Grip it’ are pretty good. Feel free to PM if you’d like anymore info/help 👍🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shergar Posted December 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2021 Father Christmas obviously knew I’d been good this year and knocked this up in the north poles sister workshop in China 😉 It’s one of those collapsable spray booth extractors (off Amazon I think). Seems quite sturdy, will have to see if it is in practice. Lights inside are fiddly so might not go the distance, and you need a box really for the extractor pipe work. The rotating table was inside too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jariworsley Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 two kits to build. I like the building of things, and building nice clean and new is a treat. so while the family are getting stuck in to this years lego gifts I am going to start on the Xpress xm1s. I have a mini pickup shell to go with the xm1s. its 210mm wheelbase chassis only. belt drive, 4wd. not sure what shell i will get for the m08, current thinking is either mk2 escort or the hpi datsun 510 - old school rear drive is most likely. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringokid Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 My wife doesn’t like the idea of me going back to rc, but she did buy me a toy car (which doesn’t work and I’m not surprised) and 2 new lipo batteries for my monster truck project 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Yrkoon Posted December 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) woot finally got my pressie, saved up a bit more and seen a tv that jumped out at me and the stand just fits, fitted some straps to it earlier to hopefully avoid the worst if it trys to topple for any reason 🙂 had to modify the fish tank lid that was half knackered anyways as the lid was a lot higher up. playing the switch with shin megami tensai v on it and im impressed , i thought the switch would look crap on a 4k panel but it looks decent and hooked up a small external 500gig harddrive i wasn't using for recording stuff and time shift. really loving it and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE32B450C4W-inch-Television-Black/dp/B0024H9PSK is my what my old one was so quite the beast of a upgrade :) Edited December 31, 2021 by Yrkoon 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to fit TV to plaster board just use no more nails and if you're feeling hardcore bby, PVA glu. ❤️ much love yrkoon Edited January 1, 2022 by Bert_w164 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
