Are there any reliable Floureon lipo suppliers on ebay? One I ordered from just cancelled. They appear to be in UK but details are China.

Alonso suffers another Honda engine faiilure at Indy 500

After 14 years I've retired my Panasonic plasma TV for a LG OLED C1. It's a quantum leap in picture quality, even with standard HD sources. and then UHD is amazing. You do need to adjust the picture settings as they are too blue out of the box but plenty of online info to help . Blacks are even blacker which was why I went for plasma and not LCD back in the day. Wonder what will be around in another 14 years time to beat OLEDs.
-
I had a similar experience my Panasonic plasma died (I'd guess it to be the same age as yours) and it was an amazing set, to the point I thought I was going to be disappointed. I bought a 58" Panasonic 902B (ex top of the range LED, before the great OLED invasion) and my god, it kicks sand in the face of the plasma ten times over.

Any bike experts, son snapped rear derailleur shimano tx tourney 7 spd. Hinge ripped thru plastic mount. He's been riding down steps. Do I get basic shimano like TX35 or better?

Any electroncs experts? Old Philips AK601 CD player wih drawer that will bot open, but will auto close after manually pulled out. Only one limit switch which seems to work when tested for continuity.

Fitted new belt and drive gear but cd player still not opening, will close after manually pulling open and cd will play. Motor is still operating trying to close. Only one limit switch which is fully pressed either when fully open or closed. Tested limit switch with meter and seems to operate as normal.

Any recommendations for a racing wheel to use with driving games like Forza etc? Havent had one since days of PS1 and they were crap then. Not looking at silly money but came across Logitech G920/G29.
-
logitech g29
Curries had them in for 50% of rrp but that was awhile ago. The gear stick is another £49 tho which sucks but should be great quality surly.
I wanted one until I looked at the games I can use it with on ps4 which was pretty much none.
I wanted a wheel set for the crew. given up on it now tho.

Anyone use a Nvidia Shield for streaming HDR content, would you recommend it?
- Show previous comments 1 more
-
Thanks, a tad further north in Yorkshire. Just would like some real end user experience when streaming 4K/HDR contents both from internet and local hard drive sources. My HTPC and AV receiver are old and cant handle 4K/HDR sources, 1080p is fine, but now have a LG OLED TV so would like use its HDR capabilities. Everyone says online that the Shield is best and HTPC is dead. I would have to get a new cpu/mobo and AV receiver so the Shield seems a better value option, if it works. I dont want a Firestick 4K.

Anyone use these Fitbit things? Are they any good, reliable, accurate?
- Show previous comments 19 more

The bottom line is cost, the more you spend 'should' get you a product which records quality data, an app which is well written and the user can understand it. Loads of reviews out there on YT and in the press.
I like the Garmin Virofit for many reasons, first and foremost it's waterproof, how Fitbit thought it was okay to produce a product which was not is beyond me . The batteries last for roughly six months, cheap to replace, so no recharging issues etc.....

Anyone used a forwarding agent? I want a part from USA but they wont ship to UK, so thought a forwarding agent like stackry could be an option. Part is 30USD.

Are all pinions same size as cant fit 16T answerrc mod1 onto shaft of Castle 2200kv so that grub screw tightens onto shaft flat and line up with spur?
- Show previous comments 1 more

Tried backwards but then grub screw has nothing to tighten onto. Was wondering if different makes had different teeth depth as Hyper spur is narrow. Are these pinions going to be made of cheese?...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-M1-5mm-15T-16T-17T-18T-19T-Pinion-Motor-Gear-Combo-Set-for-1-8-RC-Car-U8J3-/131785724824?hash=item1eaf0a9398:g:5YwAAOSwgn5XFExD

Unsure on the GoolRC pinnys. Might be worth a go tho at the price. To be fair their EC5 and XT90 connectors are decent quality, if anything too good. Metal decent thickness making them difficult to pull apart.
I normally use Novak hardened pinny and have also used Answer.
Could always dremmel more flat a bit further down your motor shaft.

Been brushless bashing last few days as need to buy some fuel. As a rule of thumb what motor temp should you not regularly exceed for long periods? I have 170F (77C) in my head and try and keep to that, but read different figures and as high as 200F. When do you get worried?

Do all internet homeplugs create noise down mains which is picked up by radio tuner? Had a radio tuner in garage and just fitted trendnet homeplug to get internet in garage. But when on it creates interference with radio tuner. Tried a mains conditioner/RF filter and no difference. Only have one spur in garage.

Do they make some bricks 10x as hard on purpose? A 5 min job to out up extra shelves in man cave takes 3 times as long, half bricks are done in quickly in seconds, rest take ages. Would a SDS drill be better?

This brand from Screwfix isn't half bad and pretty cheap.

I bought a Ryobi SDS cordless as I already had batteries and charger. That's the big problem with cordless the batteries and charger can be really ££££ if you have to buy them just for one tool.

Does anyone know if this is the standard Force 36 engine...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carson-Force-5-9ccm-Force-V36-Motor-with-Elektrostarteraufnahme-CS2/311976777117?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Does changing a battery connector invalidate any warranty?
- Show previous comments 2 more
-
Shouldn't do... Sellers can't expect everyone to use all the same connectors, for one thing it's not practical between huge packs and tiny packs, some people need a mini Deans and others need 8mm bullets.
As NH said, the quality of the work maybe a factor, but I've warrantied packs with different connectors on to what I bought.

Eldest son wants new mobile. He's had Galaxy S3 for about 4 years, not in any contract. Looking at Galaxy S7. Is it best to get a sim free? He's got part time job so could get about £500 in 3 months. Contracts seem to start at £30pm for 24m with low data. I'm not into mobiles so not got any experience.

I have bought loads of SIM free phones outright before and haven't kept any of them for long.
I have a contract one now that whilst more expensive in the long run will probably save me some money as in the 2 years I have it for I would have probably bought and sold 4-6 other phones loosing a couple of hundred pounds on each one even before buying any calls or data.

I've been eyeballing s7's too not the curved screen one but the smaller one I think it's the exact same thing but screen and battery.
Looking at the ammount of smashed curved versions on ebay i think std might be more durable too.
£350 seems to be the used price on a good condition. I'm gonna wait to hear Vodafones offers tho after I say I'm leaving lol. Last time I tried to leave they gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. But was a sim deal.
£10 a month.
600 min
Unlimited texts
1gb net
100 free pic msgs
£10 free sky mobile tv
12 months.
Then decided to get phones again and they've taken alot of the deal away I only get 500mb now but I've only gone over it once.
But now I'm just sick of them hardly any signal unless I'm home. Vodafone avoided uk taxes and took eu money to support remain.
So I'm thinking about getting a giff gaff.

Fancy something different and the Axial Yeti XLkit seems to tick the boxes.

Going to miss Victoria Wood, for those too young I would recommend watching her brilliance.
