I trying to decide between the Hot Max or the Red Dragon. Anyone have experience with both? Which one is better and why?

I've had the Hot Max for a couple months and it works great. I run it off a 20# cylinder and haven't had any problems. I've used it to burn weeds and start bonfires so far.

I have owned the chicago electric welder and the hot max 100 amp welder.The chicago electric was ok, but itt just quite over a two year period. I think because it did not have a thermal overload switch, I may be wrong. One thing Idon't like about the chicago electric and I believe the hot max is there are no relacement parts. Between the two welders, the spec. Sheet favors the hot max, you have a higher duty cycle at different ampes, 60 vs 30. I have had the hot max for, I believe for about a year and as soon as send this email it may brake on me.

Hot is definitely newer, sleeker but my diablo serves the function perfectly, my only complaint would be the view seems a little blurry compared to some others i have tried, but i dont see anything on the Hot that would fix that. to sum up, by last years model and save the $, or pay the extra for the newest model

I have the DM500 and it does a PERFECT job and I did not see any difference for the price. I would love to have the DM3000 for the three pitcher affect, but who needs that.This thing is big though, but it makes BETTER frozen drinks that the bars do. And you are home and don't have to drive.I do find that non-alcohol drinks do not mix as well as ones with alcohol. The ice tends to clump and almost act like snowballs without alcohol. All the more reason to have a full test margarita!

First off let me say I love this knife and is a good hard use knife the elmax is great as well but comparing it to the adamas I think for the hard use application I would rank the adamas as a better option bc of the d2 blade ... I believe zero tolerance doesnt bring the elmax to as high heat treat as it can ive read its around 57-58 .. compared to d2 which is harder .... both great blades if you want a flashier hard use knife the 561 is your blade (also easier to sharpen then d2 and it does hold a great edge) sorrt for droning on there is just so much I could say about this blade

No the one you purchase is not hot and is simply a practice unit with out the burning sensation it is a great training unit.This will not defend you in any way it is important to understand this.If you have any more questions just go ahead and message me I have no problem answering questions. Have a nice day.

I would not use a dromedary as a hydration blader I would use a dorm lite the red one and a 10 lt would be hard to use as a camelback

How long ago did you purchase your Red Dragon? You can contact the company directly with the address on the enclosed website or your original seller may be able to help you. My first unit ordered was defective-but the second unit worked perfectly! I also realized that Home Depot or Lowes was selling it also. Good luck! I have two different units and I really enjoy both of them!! Best wishes.

I have a Volcano with about 10 hours of fun so far. Only buy a 4 wheel drive and brushless. The 4 wheel is spectacular and brushless is much faster as well as sealed component. The Volcano now comes with a 3500 Lipo battery and charger. I have NO complaints about this vehicle and the more I drive it the more fun I have. I added a 5600 Lipo battery and yesterday I got over an hour drive time at the beach. The factory charger looks cheap but works fine and shuts off automatically. Make sure you have controller backup batteries, it could be frustrating to start your fun just to find out the controller batteries aren't operational (<1.3-1.4v is questionable). Get a voltmeter.

For me definitely worth it, stay hot, and get hot quickly. Love the quality.

Unless you just want the BDC. I'm more a mil dot. Best way get a pad write down wind speed distance and ammo keep it on a card where the point of impact is. Nikon makes good glass for the price

The Model 70 is also known as the Texas or some call the Big Tex. The problem with the Traegers for burgers and steaks is that that they only hit 450, which is way too low for fast cooking. I can't answer for the Model 70, but on my Green Mountain Grill Davey Crockett @ 550-560, it cooked in a little less time than usual, but it had a much better sear and A LOT better flavor. Still not as good as cooking over 800 degree coals, but I am very happy with the results considering. I will try them next on my GMG Jim Bowie at 550 degrees @ 7 minutes a side on 1 inch steaks for medium rare.

I own the Redline and Passport Max. The Redline has better range, by far better range. But it does give false alerts. The Max has good range and blocks most false alerts. I work as a hotshot driver in the oilfield and travel all of the US. I now use the Max exclusively. Although the range is not as good as the Redline, it still alerts you in plenty of time. With its fast speed and gps it is in my opinion the best choice.

The Mamba Max Pro SCT has much more punch to it. I own 6 electric Traxxas cars and i have installed Castle Creations in every one of them and would recommend that if you want something to run faster as well as cooler this is the way to go.The SCT Pro comes with a cooling fan on the motor as well as the ESC, runs really cool even in warm weather which was a plus for my area. When purchasing this set up if you are a real racer it is a good idea to get the field board so that you can tune your car to the way that you like to drive,well worth the 25 dollars.Good luck and have lots of fun Dean at Full Throttle RC Repair.

It depends on how much you want to spend as there are many options out there. It seems that the Royal Purple Synchromax is the best rated option. I would go with that since it is a performance sports car. A cheaper and less popular option is the Redline D4 ATF. The safest choice is to buy what the dealer sells.
