fucking genius.. K Dot killed it with TPAB. He brought funk back but at a new level. Elevating hip hop. If you can't vibe to it, or it doesn't make you want to hit repeat you might as well suck Bieber's dick while he's jamming to it.

LOL...there's a county commissioner named Charles Bronson here in Broward County.
N1...I had it set half way at some point...then switched to pretty soft...maybe 6/10 or 4/8 or something...I always keep it stiffer in the front.

I used to drive the Acura to school, now I don't touch the wheel unless it's new


Apparently Drake's first whip was a TSX..
I drive Acura because driving a BMW or Mercedes is pretentious..

Konigs are cheaper priced, but that's because they're not forged. All of their wheels are cast, if I'm not mistaken. I honestly don't think they're a bad company. Some of their designs are ugly, but overall, not bad products.

I had a set of 15" Konig Heliums (one of their lightest wheels) on my 1st Civic, many, many moons ago, when I was a poor student. They were great. I've known a few people who have had Konigs and never had issues.

how did the lets-hate-on-Bruce thread turn out? clearly it's been deleted, but I never saw the outcome after I posted? Did Pistorious get his NJ panties in a bunch?

Sadly, I dont think he did. Too bad. He could have been $34.50 richer.

I think it's crazy he was asking 2500 for an engine with 80,000miles on it. It's not that rare of an engine.

Nice Adam...thanks...
Well, these are flow cast or whatever...supposedly 25% lighter...not sure what that means though...if not uber heavy in teh sizes I want...ie same as stock...I'd rock em.

matte graphite on rio would look splendid...and they're $650 new...very easy to resell low cost wheels...

I'll see how it does. It's very finicky getting the right throttle without sending it flying straight up for the 30 seconds I played with it. Got a busy day though, work then gym then diner then F&F7 then maybe I'll get time to mess with it.

Still awesome suggestions, mad props. Fun cheap toy.

exactly why I bought one(in my case 2)
it's fun, it's cheap, and provides hours of entertainment.

the throttle is hard because its not consistent.
it's always changing due to interference(2.4ghz band), wind or drafts, and battery life on craft itself.
when battery is getting low on quad, it takes more throttle to get up and go.

It's part of the game though no, controlling something inconsistent and half the diameter of a CD?

Don't worry, I wouldn't track these.

I'd buy a set of XXR for the track.

that's how I broke the first one

too much throttle THEN PULL BACK THROTTLE because its gonna hit the ceiling.
drops to floor. fuck. lol

however; i wouldnt want to learn the controls on a $100-1000 quad. they're heavier and a drop to the ground would break something

glad im learning on a ~$20 toy

There's another quad, slightly more expensive but with guards and additional controls to help called like Bayang X6, maybe I'm gonna get it once I'm used to the Cheerson. They're virtually the same, but this one is slightly better.

Quadcopter review: The Bayang Toys X6 is an upgraded Cheerson CX-10 - Gizchina.com | Gizchina.com
