Instead of spending the money on air compressor I just bought a electric blowup pump for $15 bucks works great 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Hey man, I literally have just recently started digging through my basement storage attempting to find any air pumps I could in order to try and use them until I can pickup a small/decent compressor. Unfortunately although I found 3 working "air mattress "type pumps but they are all 15-20 yrs old lol so im not sure if thats thd type of "electric blowup" type of thing yo u mentioned but they haven't got quite enough power to do the job... Would you mind letting me know if yours is really enough to use in place of a compressor and bid so what the details please? Im going to assume that these days the pumps are promoted as being capable of blowing up big air mattresses/pool floats etc real fast so if i could find out which type you bought ide gravely appreciate it as ide c rather wait to buy a good compressor for when my rc budget allows. Thanks in advance.🍻

I was just starting to look for a new battery and an air compressor for my short course RC! Still watching your video, those shops are CRAZY. Maybe I missed it, but why was the 3S more expensive than the 4S?

Two, 3s 😊 sorry should have put a (x2). So half that price on screen for just one 3s.
Air compressor is a guaranteed way to get dirt in the bearings😎
Joe, please tell us how you manage to take batteries and an air compressor on the plane..?
Hey Kiwis, It’s so cool to see other people with the same passion for RC everything... it’s awesome fun and a great getaway from the everyday same old!!! Do you guys know of the best shop for WLTOYS/XK models? I have the 16800 1/16 Excavator which I got for my son... it has a broken drive gear or bull gear. Looking for that gear has been really challenging. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much and keep up the entertaining videos!!!

Joe Never tell the wife how much money you spent on toys while she has a knife with her Lol. When you get a chance you may want to get a steel cabinet or maybe empty metal ammo container to store your batteries. You have the right idea using those lipo safe bags but they are really designed for one battery per bag in case you have a battery catch fire and it doesn't set off the other batteries in the bag. Better sleep with one eye open mate when I saw the look on Amber's face when she realized how much you spent and the knife in her lap I just thought, Oh poor Joe. You both are great keep up the great videos 👍

For RC shopping in Hong Kong you will need to go to the Prosper Commercial Building at Yin Chong Street, Mongkok where there are about 6 different hobby shops there. The prices there are way better. Next time you guys do any video in HK for RC stuff and needed to do some recon you can give me a shout and I can give you guys some pointers.

TheRcKiwis There are many other brands that they sell but mostly on-road variants. That said, they will always help to order parts for you if you need anything that is off-road. I.e. Serpent, Magen, X-ray to name a few of the race centric brands. I am an off-racing fan so I go there for other things like accessories, tools, electronics and the like.
I was wondering if they had the release of the Arrma outcast 8S in Hong Kong? Didn’t see it in the video. I already prepaid for one.
