Day 3633

 I woke up a little after 5 and couldn't get back to sleep.  I played games for along while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was 44 degrees outside (never got to 55), so I decided to spend the day working out what I needed to get to complete the 5 RC kits I have.

The Audi kit in the spare bedroom is complete.  I went out to the garage and took inventory of the contents of the four kits out there.  I decided that I'd use the Slash motor with a Hobbywing ESC on the BRZ and buy a motor/ESC combo for the Slash.

When I got back to the house I went through all of the pending orders from China as well as the parts that I have stashed there.  It turned out that all I needed to get were the Slash and BRZ electronics.  Figuring that out took a while though.

After lunch I went to Amain.  I spent a long time figuring out what motor and gear ratio I should use on the Slash.  It was really fun doing the analysis.  Then I went through the Slash options and found a couple of other things that I decided to get.  Unfortunately neither the motor/ESC or ESC I wanted were on sale.  I ended up substituting a more expensive motor/ESC that was.  It cost me $10 more, but at least I got a discount.

 I also found that Amazon is selling the Capo for $100 off.  I emailed Hooch about sending it to him and I'm waiting for a reply.

The evening was surfing, videos, and a hour and a half nap.  I'm going to bed early.
