Well, don't forget to add at least six batteries for it to the price of the mod to get a "real" cost. Of course, that applies to building your own as well, but 3S or 4S LiPO is a little less expensive than half a dozen, decent, 18650s.

That's a six battery mod?

Turns out the washer is repairable but pretty much done as far as I'm concerned, it needs a new seal & pump which I may end up replacing to buy myself some time but idk yet... The thing has been shaking like crazy so I'm not surprised, but I will be glad to have a quieter one seeing as I'm in a 2bedroom condo with it.

Today was just a bad day, I had to take half the day off for a delivery from ikea, & the guys who delivered wedged the security door open & got me yelled at by the lady who lives upstairs (she's told us she's the "manager", though the condo association has told us they don't know what that means). Then last week we had a massive security breach at work, which I had my gf's laptop there for some troubleshooting & I'm guessing they got into it from there, anyways (&this part was actually kind of entertaining) I noticed a bunch of questionable activity in event viewer & followed that back to the source, which was an IP from Nigeria. lol yep.

Anyways so as soon as I got rid of all that & blocked it, I got a call, almost immediately on my cell phone. I mean this guy was really good I've been on the phone with Dell techs and he had all their procedures & mannerisms pretty much down. Anyways he wanted access to her computer, which I didn't allow, I acted really stupid & kept him on the phone as long as I could & turns out I needed to "buy a new ssl", which, yes I know, makes no sense. I tried to say I do that use credit cards etc and would have to go & load a prepaid to pay for it, so I got him to give me his contact info so I could call him back.

So yeah I gave all that to cybercrimes & blocked the numbers, but here's the thing... About a week ago my buddy Skokes' wife spent about, (total of) $2,300 in Google play cards for something just like this, & before I was like, what? how in the hell could she do that? & yeah I still don't understand why she kept giving them money but I do understand now how they tricked her.

After that I got home & now I have to build ikea. Shoot me plz.

I'm forever getting calls from "The Rewards Department" and a bunch of other numbers that are very close to my home or cell numbers. None of them get any phone time. One of the ladies my wife works with got a call, while at work, saying they had kidnapped her Grandfather and would kill him if she didn't pay them $5000. She kept them on the line and used a desk phone to call her Grandfather confirming he was OK. She kept talking to them, keep in mind my wife works for the State Police. They traced the call to Puerto Rico and turned the info over to their police. Don't know if they ever acted on it, but somehow I think those idiots had a bad day in any event.

Spoofing caller ID to a number from the same area code, and often on the same exchange as one's cell phone seems to have become the standard mode of operation for spam callers. Bottom line: If you call my cell from a number that's not in my contact list, you go to voicemail. 90-some percent of those calls do not leave a message.

Amen, I don't answer calls if I don't know who it is, on the home or cell, if they are really trying to reach me they will leave a message but rarely does an unknown number leave one. I consistently get 3-4 calls to my cell every week from unknown numbers around the same time of day, never the same and they never leave a message.

Same with email, if I don't know who sent it I don't click on it, it goes to the junk folder and deleted.

So I received my Ebay Hana DIY box ....and made it work (200)
Are these the pre-production models as the face is different than others I see?
Don't care just curious.

Not sure, does it look different then the pictures on ebay? Mine all look just like the pictures in the listing.

Makes me happy to see owners of companies who aren't afraid to show their faith, liked this one I got this morning. :)

It’s Friday!! And things are Ugly. There is betrayal, pain, darkness and death. Evil appears to win. But SUNDAY is Coming!!!

It’s Friday! – You have your problems, your failures, your sins, But THANK God, SUNDAY is Coming!!

It’s FRIDAY! – The debt and weight of all your failures and Sins has been willingly taken away by Jesus the Christ who gave up his life as a personal sacrifice for all. Which makes us sad. BUT SUNDAY is Coming!!

So remember; It’s FRIDAY, But SUNDAY IS COMING! So there is Joy in the Morning!


Good Friday is probably the Second Most Important Day to me as a Christian. Because on Friday, Jesus willingly allowed himself to be painfully executed for my Sins, dying from a broken heart. But Easter Sunday is the Most Important Day for me because Jesus Christ completed what he came to earth to do, by being raised from the dead, which showed that he was able to overcome the power of sin and death once and for all, able to offer meaningful forgiveness to me and every other human that will accept that gift.

I pray that you all feel the grace and forgiveness of God through Jesus this Easter.

May your time with Friends and Family be blessed.


Best,
Gene Kelly

You know, I probably would have never noticed that!
Now I' staring at them thinking how plain they look with out the little extra design feature on the face :(
Thanks A lot! :-x

LoL, that was good! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The story behind all these cheap leftover Hana mod parts, if that story is true, kinda think it is because he also has Hana logo'd mods listed, it makes me wonder if these cases were made and anodized, (maybe out of house?) and then Hana decided, "Nah, let's put these off to the side and let's change the face to look more like the Evolv beta mod's" If that was the case, it would explain why they were never logo'd and why they were never were used, just a guess. :unsure:

Makes me wonder but really none of it matter's to me, they are well made and a heck of a deal. One thing for sure, that guy sure has sold a lot of them! Wonder just how much stuff he got?

I bought a bunch of them, built a couple with 200's and love them. I just got a couple more DNA 75 boards, going to put them in these mods kits with three 900 mah lipo's in parallel, only because I already have six of the 900 cells kicking around and might as well use them seeing they will fit perfectly. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy...0c-lipo-pack-walkera-v120-x100.html?wrh_pdp=2

This is also why you don't have personal items/info/photos visible when you work with the public.
It gives them ammo for the conversation.
