Yes, definitely be cautious! I will say I am pretty sneaky about rat holing money away for toys and projects.

I also thought about a drone. But with all the current restrictions I figured we would get more use (fun) with the RC rigs. Plus we live within 5 miles of KPSC airport so a no fly zone!

So I felt a little guilty with my recent purchase. I bought myself a toy, but my son is back home, itching to ride his dirt bike, but I've restricted him from riding due to the virus. The last thing we need is to take him to the hospital for a broken bone. So I thought he need something to...

Yes it does. There is a cheaper version as well. Different electronics but full hard top. You can find them on Redcat Racing s website.

Ive got a few more weeks and i will get free'd up. Looking to spens a week in the UP. Would love to get a trip together with a few members that know the area.

Welcome to Overland Bound Bill. I look forward to reading about your trips.

Hey Dimitri, Welcome to the Crew. Thats a nice setup you got there. Love all of the awning coverage you have.

So we can't hang out with our buddies, we can't go exploring, the garage is cleaned, tools are organized, mowed the lawn, cleaned the windows, washed out the gutters, waxed the truck, changed the oil, sharpened the axe, and the chainsaw, planned several future trips, read a book cover to cover...

Trying to not get the virus in Southeast Michigan.

I get "lacking airtime"! I have yet to make a contact dispute numerous attempts. I am ready to pull the pin on a ftm-400 but have realized shipping is out 4+weeks.

Got a Baofeng bf-f8hp strung up to the UT-72.

I am currently running a UT-72 for my HT I have been using in the mean time. Think I will just use it and see how it does.

I like it also. I would look at dimensions of some of the flab bed campers. if you build it wide enough to mount a popup camper to will have room to expand if you choose to go a different direction. I would also look at the sizes of the underbed type boxes to make sure you have the proper bed...

I have seen a couple 7' antennas, that would put it over the cab a few feet. I am not opposed to running a mag mount on my roof if that is the better option. I have been running a mag mount up there for my GMRS with success.

I have decided the 400 will be purchased. Can you recommend an antenna? I have a large solid steel front bumper. I would like to hard mount (drill into) the flat surface on the bumper on the driverside. Then I can run a long antenna when I need it. Would this provide the required ground plane?

You beat me to this recommendation.

I am leaning towards the 400. I would rather have more tech then I need, or ever know how to use, then find out a couple years down the road that I would have liked to have an option I passed on.

Hey, Welcome to the crew Damien. Feel free reach out to myself, @M Rose , @Gabriel Bozeman if you have any questions. Look forward to meeting to some day at a Meetup!

Yup, Looking at Gigaparts now. I want to order my radio this week. Still not sure which one to buy. I'm a noob so not really up to par on the differences.

This is a great idea!
