i'm deciding between Firestik Firefly, 4' ≈200w, & Firestik FS-3BK, 3' ≈650w. Is one better? It's for recreational use on and off road. thank you!

Functionally....not much difference, and really not even noticeable. For the height, it depends on where you mount it (bumper, spare tire mount, license plate bracket), and if you're worried about pinging a garage.

It depends on you radio and mounting location. Sometimes the shorter antenna is the better option when driving offroad.

Hi, I have both the 4 inches I use when I go out of town, because it is too long for most parking but has better signal, about 6 km in the best conditions, the use of 3 inches in the city.

I have a 2013 Jeep Rubicon. I installed the 3' firestick antenna about 2 years ago. Use off road all the time, works great. The taller the antenna, the more range but 3' is above the roof and works just fine for me. Also need to consider when off roading the taller antenna will often hit overhanging brush and trees. Hope this is helpful for you.

First I will say I'm not an expert. But more power (watts) more better. Also you antenna should be at least halfway above the top of your truck.

Never run The Traxxas, I usually run Castle od Tenkin. But I use the race pro in my Axial Exo buggy Im geared for speed and it hast failed me once. Running 2s Lippo could run 3s but I have all I need on 2s. The SCT race Pro I picked because of cooling, I had problems with too many other motors over heating in my Exo. SInce I switched I havent over heated once. I also like the fact that Castle makes a Castle link connector that stays open for you to plug into with the field programer or from fied via usb to Computer for adjustments. On my Tenkin FXR is not as easy.

Hey kevin I got a question about a laser light combo from you. .I just tried the laser out in broad daylight. I can see my last pretty good at 50 yards on a part and tree. This is a very nice combo I recommend it very much good luck

It depends on the vehicle, what you want it to do and what battery you run it with.In my son's 2wd Stampede, I reused the original spur gear and went with a 13t, Traxxas pinion. Running on 3s 5400mAh Gens Ace hard case, it's run for about an hour and will be warm, but not burning hot. My kid is 7 and he's into heavy bashing, big air and back flips and the motor just takes the abuse.

It could be the watts . The kit I bought turned out to be a 200 watt set compared to 300 watt which is more for commercial use .There is an even stronger 400 watt set. I'm still happy with what I got for the price but I wish I knew the difference in advance so that I would have had chance to look around for the 300 watt model . I have been checking the bdf model but can not find anything , The F may stand for factory reconditioned so try to do more research first.

I got the 3/4 featherlite and love it. Great carry along fly rod. It is 6'6" with the half wells grip.

Ronald provided a good explanation of speed vs volume ratings. Just to piggy back, higher MPH is technically better for moving heavier matter such as wet grass and higher air flow, as on 350bt, technically works better for moving large piles of leaves and such. I live on an acre with many large oak trees and my 150bt handles everything like a champ. I rarely use the machine on full throttle. Also, the 150bt came with several different nozzles to adjust speed and air flow. Hope this helps.

Is the 255W or 260W better? I'm specifically looking for one with MPH on on the screen so I can see how fast I'm traveling, and I can't find anything to tell me whether the 260 has it.

I would guess that you are talking about extreme wattage's for off road applications. These Nighthawks - and their competitor equivalents-are quite safe.

I also wanted to add you might also want to look at the rohs tt560 speedlite. Same price range but a bit more user friendly in my opinion.

Been using this for a VFD in MT. Indoor temp usually 55. Lock attached to fire door and no issues. Would recommend Lithium batteries, they are more forgiving in the cold. You still have a manual key for backup should the lock/batteries fail.

I bought the little red campfire last seaso and it works great. We used it many cool evenings right between our seats to keep warm. Doesn't use a lot of propane if not turned way up and puts out good heat, no wood smoke smell. I have recomended it to many, and the ones that have them, love them.

Trying to sale the one I bought. Ended up getting a more expensive one. The blitz haze a 4-6" drop at 30yds. My 60# bow shoots twice as far.

This one is OK but it doesn't have deep reflectors that are needed for distance. The furthest throwing lights I know of are the Nitecore TM36 at 1.1Km and the Olight SR95 at 1 Km. Another nice light is the Niwalker Vostro BK-FA01. It is 755m and is much cheaper than the other two I suggested. Wait for sales on these lights as MSRP prices are high. Going Gear has good deals sometimes but wait for the sales unless you need it now. This Trustfire light is more floody but has some distance. 750m is probably beyond this lights range. It isn't designed for throw but does put out at least 2K lumens. 11K is way over rated. Good luck.

DaveS.....what in your opinion makes the Jet 1221VS better than the Delta 46-460? I've never been a fan of Delta myself but the 46-460 is very highly rated in Fine Woodworking.

I am getting very good results with the 3' Firestik II with the tune-able tip on my Toyota Tacoma. $20 on Amazon. You also need an SWR meter to tune the antenna properly
