    That's what @03dumdum and I have, Randy is spot on!

    EDIT: Another appeal is not having to register/get licensed (unless you're doing commercialized work with it, be it a youtube channel that's monetized or say using it for business product/services)...

    So, What you Guys are saying is.... I should go buy one of these UFO's today at the Costco (think it's the same deal for $400.) instead of doing house/yard work?

    The one linked is the "flyaway kit" or whatever it's called, where it comes with extra batteries, a case, etc. Price of just the drone is $450. If you do get one, make sure you get the full kit.

    But yes, you should definitely spend money instead of doing chores. That's the TW way.

    I borrowed one for a trip once and can honestly say I really want my own. But I always have something else to spend money on!

    Yes, extra batteries and the 3 battery charger are worth it, I put mine in a HF "pelican-type" case, so I can just toss it in the trunk, bed, etc...plus it's now mostly toddler proof (the case, and probably won't take long for her to get into it!)...

    Proud of my little Tacoma, it has come a long way. Went up the little obstacle at the beginning of the trail. Luckily it was dry so it made it a bit easier

    Nice! I finally went up that hill last November once I had my skid plates installed and promptly rubbed lots of paint off!

    Check out my build thread (Beginning of Money Pit)
    Anyone here have experience with comparable tires to ST MAXX? Im gonna need to get new tires before winter. I get around 50-60k miles out of mine, with wheeling trips. The issue I come into is once I hit about 45k miles on them, they get pretty sketch for me in icy conditions. Also, just remember they were 300 dollars a tire, so trying to find a way around that. Im currently at around 48k miles on them, so if any of you have recommendations for 315 75 16s Ill be sure to check them out.

    Another thing, when I replace them, Ill have spare tires available for anyone needing one in that size and either passing me a decent 6 pack or like 30 bucks a piece
