Have you stepped up to make a positive difference?

The new manager isn't interested in anything other than maximizing his bonus. The only reason to send home a regular guy on PTO and keep a short term temp is to reduce the operating budget on paper to effect his bonus. A guy on PTO is budgeted differently than a guy at work and short term temps come out of a different budget category also.

we flying next weekend?

mac 'and not losing them?' gyvr

Should be interesting. Thought about buying the boy one for Christmas. Not like he doesn't already have enough rc's in his room.

that's 80% of DJI performance for 1/4 the price.
uses arducopter. automagically returns home.
add telemetry so you can find it after you crash it.

Cars that i shouldn't have gotten rid of...





traded that biotch for an 800 dollar dodge neon.

do you have a pic of that neon?

 

[REWSTER]

do you have a pic of that neon?

it wasn't worth the film...

 

[seanR]

why you no call me to get the low down on the best cheap chinese ones?

Because I have extra batteries and motors for the this brand already and it was less than a hundred dollars.

Did yours go down in a cornfield ? We trying to figure it out on the facepages this mornjng

Yes

mac 'and not losing them?' gyvr

Yes the new one should be here before this weekend.

I saw right where it went down. but I do not know how far out it was.
A breeze came up and blew it away, I tried to bring it back but it spun and I got disoriented for a second. I actually think it malfunctioned, because I had it coming back towards me and all of a sudden it just dropped out of the sky.
I have always been very careful about flying it over the corn fields, but I have gotten pretty good with it and I have been flying it faster and higher.
The corn is 10 feet high, there is no way with out stilts to keep a bearing, and the corn is planted on a contour and the rows are in a circular pattern. I need someone else with a drone to come look for mine....

where do i get the cheap batteries?

mac 'they were around $3/ea' gyvr

 

[need-a-bow]

Keep forgetting to reply.

You'll want a 96+ case for the connections to work. Both will be OBDII.

Your local take a part should have one.

If you want to stay with a 231, I have one from a 96, and I could bring it with me next weekend to the camping trip.

mac 'has a specialty tool of a 9/16th wrench bent in half' gyvr

That actually would work i think. Im not sure how bad mine is but i know i need to do something about it soon or else things might go bad. I sometimes hear a pop or 2 when heavy acceleration, could that be the T-case or something else?

 

[Jeepguy91]

Why do you think it's your t-case going out?

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

that pop might be a stretched chain...

 

[87manche]

it likely didn't.


everyone says that.

in order to find you cheap batteries I need to know what they are.

I probably did, but I don't remember what I did three days ago.

get me the cell count, capacity and dimensions of your battery.
along with what conector it uses, and I find you cheap batteries again.

Likely it was from hobbyking or valuehobby.

Just under an inch wide by 2 inches long

that pop might be a stretched chain...

Thats what i was thinking. Under hard acceleration i feel the pop although sometimes its 2 pops which confuses me. And i can hear rhe chain drag when i am slowing down hence i am thinking of replacing it.

If anyone wants to confirm/deny mt diagnosis by test driving my deathJ at the camping trip feel more than free to

This is doing it in 2wd?

If it's a chain, the pop would be only in 4wd. (?)

 

[need-a-bow]

Yes in 2WD. In 4WD it is a louder whine but im not sure if that us normal (first 4WD ive driven on road/snow)
