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.
