It can deliver one

Worth a shot but if it can't, then I am going to train my pup a "beer me" command.

Not even mad but that guy had to walk... entirely too much work.

 

Your flying skills would be much better. I wouldn't have to walk.

 

@uhplifted what are your thoughts on the DJI Spark?

 

It's a good drone. Less fly time than the Mavic though and it can't shoot in 4K if that's an issue for you. I only shoot in 2k on the mavic anyways. It's a lot more compact than the mavic which is nice for on the go. You can take off/land from your hand which is handy in certain situations (pun intended). For the price it's a good drone for sure. I wanted the longer flight time and some of the fancier features which you can read about online. I believe the gimbal on the mavic is also better. I want to say it's a 3 axis vs the sparks 2 axis? I could be wrong there though. If you don't want to drop $1300 for the mavic the spark is a good choice too for around half(?) the cost.

 

I was just looking into them and the price is appealing for a first drone. I'd probably crash the damn thing sooner or later.

Honestly though, 1080P is superb considering I won't be buying a 4K TV any time soon. I did notice the flight times are almost half and the max speed is 31MPH in sport. That kind of sucks, but again this is a first time drone so I have to consider that. I'd love the Mavic, but the $300 price tag is appealing.

 

Keep in mind with the spark it doesn't come with a controller unless you buy the fly more package. You have to fly t with your phone otherwise which isn't great. Honestly if you're flying only in open spaces like JT you'll never crash it unless it bugs out on you. There's so much stability control it's crazy. Planes about to take off right now but shoot me any texts if you got other questions.

 

On thanksgiving I accidentally crashed my rc heli into a horse. Felt so bad. Horse and heli are both fine. Just had to beg my family not to post the video on ig.

 

I love cheetos!

this is hysterical! You have to post the vid!!!

 

It’s Christmas Eve and all I see is an opportunity to fix my CB. Let’s see how this goes.

 

good luck! Mine is still kicking just fine without any other adjustments. Only thing I have added was a drop or two of blue locktite on each bolt for peace of mind.

 

Thanks! Your write up was exactly what I needed and I’m going to tear into it.

 

My carrier bearing is destroyed

 

So is mine. Lots of play.

 

Same here...gonna get the 60$ spicer oem one

 

I went with the IEDLS sealed bearing for the Ranger. Seems like the OEM bearings are garbage and don’t last. I’ll give this a shot.

 

Make yourself a merry xmas new c bearing experience!

 

Merry Christmas everyone! (a day late) Hope you all were safe and spent time with people that matter.

I got my U-Joints replaced on Sunday and the new CB on the drive shaft but didn’t plan accordingly and get long enough bolts for the new mount. I ran out of energy, patience, and beer to try and scrounge something up. I’ll try to get it finished up this evening.



Old U-joints weren’t dry, but they were starting to show wear in areas. Glad I took the extra time to get them done.
