Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like national oceanic and atmospheric administration, reddit.old and pickup lines. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was tuned in.

But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

I've wanted to get into the remote controlled (RC) hobby for awhile now, but scratching just a bit deeper than the cheap toys you can buy at a department store can start to get quite expensive. I also feel like the fun will wear quite quickly buying a complete car. A kit car could be interesting, but I wanted something more.

I recently had the idea (definitely not novel) to make it more of project and build my own RC car, relying on 3D printing, laser cut, and metal components where necessary (though I'm sure after a few crashes, it'll start to feel like every component). My skill level with electronics is relatively low and I know I'll enjoy the mechanical challenges more, so I'm coming to you on the question of electrics.

In my cursory searches for the electrical components, I believe I need the following:

1. Transmitter & Receiver
2. Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) & Motor
3. Battery & some sort of battery charger
4. Servo motor

I've mostly been looking for brands that offer the full suite. Probably limiting my assessment, but made it easier to get started exploring. So far it seems like Spektrum might be the best price point for the whole set (though still not cheap by any means):

1. Spektrum Dx3 Transmitter w/ SR315 Receiver
2. Spektrum Firma 70A Brushed ESC w/ Brushed Motor
3. 5000mAh 2S LiPo Battery w/ Charger
4. Standard Digital Servo

I'm mostly wondering if I'm missing anything component-wise. Or if I'm going completely off-base with jumping to these types of components when I could be fine with something much cheaper. I tried to start with looking at what entry-level RC recommendations there are, but most of those lead to kit cars. Also, my overall lack of familiarity with electrical components means I haven't even considered what sort of simple DC motors I could get by with, though I guess I'm not looking to program anything at the moment.

I've not invested anything besides time researching so any input/advice is welcome. Thanks for reading!

Pretty much the title.

I love the movie, I watched when I was a kid from a VHS tape with really bad Czech dubbing, but I loved the trucks and how truckers fought against corrupt sheriff. I don't have the VHS anymore (not even means to play it), but I got DVD with Czech and English dubbing. Sadly the Czech dubbing isn't that great in this version and I watched English original.

Not long ago I managed to record terrestrial broadcast of the movie in 1080p with the same Czech dubbing AND in full version (there is a scene where trucker shows his ass on the camera), sadly this version doesn't have original English dubbing.

I'm looking for someone who would have the original (this is a must) DVD or Blu ray of the full uncensored version of the movie with original English dubbing - it should be 107 minutes long (1:47 hours), NOT 104 minutes.

If there somehow happens to be someone who has this movie and is able to rip it to their computer, could you please leave a comment here?

And because I don't really believe I will find somebody, let's discuss the movie itself in the meantime. Have you seen it? What is your take on it? Do you play American Truck Simulator with Rubber Duck's truck modded in as I do?
