Saw the Ipad Pro today and it is stupidly large
The thing is none of the app icons look any bigger and they are spaced out in the same fashion as the smaller versions so there looks like there is loads of empty space on the screen which doesn't help

Gopro 3+ silver in Argos for £149 with an extra battery,not bad price

Were you going for the Xmas look with the choice of colours
-
Is there a reason I cant seem to read any topic on the forum? It just keeps coming up with a error when I click on anything?
-
How far from being a "normal" 5ive is this? Are the arms etc shorter?
-
Personally I would take the £300 and leave it at that. Obviously they aren't going to refund you materials you purchased on top of that.
-
Yep you are right about that. Next time I want to know what colour pants to put on in the morning I will be sure to post on the forum and ask :)

As some are aware I bought a 27" 5K Imac last week. I had a 15" Macbook Pro before but the screen was just too small for my liking and my eyes I know there is the whole which is better PC or Mac but I am a Mac lover sorry to say. I did what is called a "Timemachine" of my laptop which basically copies the OS and any files/programs to an external hard drive,when you set up the new Imac it gives the option to set it up from a Timemachine back up so basically the new Imac has exactly the same files/program on it that the laptop did. Also bought a 2TB network hard drive and a new Wifi router that supports the faster 802ac wifi standard that the Imac supports as well as my phone. All my video/pictures/music etc are on it and I can access it on the Imac,phone and TV. Pictures/videos are also uploaded to the network hard drive automatically from the phone when I have a wifi connection and again are available on all devices. I can also stream 3 different HD videos to 3 devices at once with no buffering. Again maybe nothing that special but I love what it can all now do :)

Straight to Naza mode dji phantom 2?

Yep. -
Sorry but are you so insecure of what you are doing you have to constantly ask people for their opinions? It is your stuff,you do what you want with it and stick with whatever looks good to you and not everyone else.

Hopefully it will now get used I unlocked the rear as I wanted to use it more as an off roader rather than crawling,having had a few cars with locked diffs before they do seem to reduce the turning circle quite a bit. I wouldn't go 4S to be fair,I beleive the motor is in the 2S-3S range but it's up to you of course. Dont know if the suspension has been changed but I put Axial stiffer springs on the rear and put the original rear springs on the front,the stock set up was way to plush for my liking.

Is it just me or can no one see their own posts?
Just thought,if anyone replies to this will I be able to see it?
Getting loads of notifications but cant see any new posts?

Appreciate the efforts being made but this place is now officially a MESS :)

Anyone got BT Broadband,typically one of the fibre options.
Is it any good.
Considering a switch from the cappy Talk Talk and fibre is only £13 a month more than I pay now.
Wondering if BT was reliable and are their speed estimates close to what you actually get?

There is no requirement for the motors to all run at the same setting,the idea is to set them all so they just start,the numbers dont need to match so dont get too hung up on that. Are any of the screws securing the motor slightly too long or over tightened?
-
Have you calibrated the ESCs?

Losi 8ight T 3.0 truggy,where are they?
smeghead28 replied to smeghead28's topic in Buggies, Truggies & Stadiums
Was looking,not now,spent the money and much more besides on a 27" 5K Imac -
If it is MMR in Birmingham I am not surprised. I bought a Losi 5ive off them that was supposed to be a click and collect from Argos,Argos refused to accept it (different story) but MMR did little to help me locate where it had ended up and when I was going to receive it. Having spent £800+ they didn't seem that bothered by it and I had to chase them up to get any information and eventually a tracking number. Lots of broken promises of phone calls and "it should be with you on such a day" later I asked for a refund. Wouldn't go back no matter what and I would suggest that whilst some people obviously do get their stuff don't expect much help if you don't.

Couldn't think of anything RC related to buy so I bought a 5K Imac instead
Should get it tomorrow,just need to rearrange some furniture to accomodate it and repaint a wall or two that was hidden by some furniture.

But really, for most, looks aren't important, definitely not for me anyway, I choose function over being pretty anytime lol, so looks aside then, for those who don't find it important.
The reason I ask is because I'm upgrading my PC soon, I want something with more power now I have fibre optic, and was wondering about a second hand Mac of some description.
Typically I'm not an Apple fan, but so many people own them, and I wondered what the secret was, if you take away looks for those who aren't too bothered by that.
In terms of actual computing power only.

in reply to Oho
i made the jump 5 years ago from the windose/linux camp to mac and OS X. what i have found is...
longevity. my macbook pro is 5 years old now and still as quick as the day i got it. i haven't had to upgrade anything or reinstall OS X as it doesn't seem to get bogged down like a windows machine.
i will say its hard to make the jump in the first place but once you do its hard to look back and think i made mistake. Yes the initial outlay seems a lot but you get a lot for your money. its not only the hardware you need to bear in mind in the total cost of ownership.
think about the software you use. once you add in a bunch of applications you have purchased and compare those to what is shipped with OS X out of the box the prices seem a lot more reasonable.
Im planning on replacing my macbook next year around christmas so will be over 6 years old by then. Most windows people i know replace there machines at least once every 3 years due to the fact they are slow and not supportable anymore....
so the moral of the story is you get more for your money with a mac than with a windows pc.
-
That's quite unusual, my current machine was overhauled in 2003 and still runs as good now as it does then, simply by keeping it clean and stuff.
3 years seems more down to the user than the machine itself.
My only reason for wanting to change is down to wanting more power and it's probably cheaper to buy a complete new machine than what it would be to buy everything separately.
As for software and things, I don't think they'd give you for free what I use most, which is like Photoshop, Lightroom, Filmora etc... So I would still need to add those.
Appreciate you taking the time to write that out, it certainly seems then for some folk they are worth the money, but I think for me and my uses, it wouldn't be.
-
No but seeing as we are talking about an Axial product I thought it was relevant. Also whilst they do fit together okay once bolted I cant imagine for one minute they were designed that way,I certainly haven't seen that method of assembly in other RCs I have built
-
The few Axial kits I have built dont seem to be made very well. The rear axle halves on the SCX10 I had didn't fit together very well,the moulding was quite bad. It took bolting the two halves together to get them to line up flat with each other otherwise they were quite bowed. Same with the Yeti,the ends of the rear axle didn't fit very well together till the tubes were put on the ends.
-
I have had a few Traxxas cars and have never had any real problems but what does surprise me is the amount of interest in this car.
-
I would suggest that is a custom chassis as it looks very neat to be a "cut and shut" job
-
Indeed the rear trailing arms are plastic,isn't that the bit that always failed on the Yeti?
-
When I saw the self righting for the first time the thought "I wonder if that is hard on the drive train" sprang to mind. Personally unless the truck was a long way away I would just go and turn it over myself.
