The best part about learning to fly on a drone simulator is the low barrier to entry. And by low, I mean free. The Drone Racing League offers its PC and Mac- compatible simulator gratis, so you can simply download, install, and start flying. Not only does that mean everyone can get into drone racing (provided they have a PC or Mac that meets the minimum requirements), it means you can do it all without spending a penny. No Drone or Controller Required. Pro drone pilots use specific RC controllers worth hundreds of dollars with a variety of settings specific to quadcopter control. If you, like me, don’t have a few hundred bucks to spend on a specialized controller to practice, you can always use the ones you have. If you can connect your gaming controller (I use an Xbox 3. Your monitor shows off the first person view, so you won’t need any expensive flight goggles either. Faster Resetting Means Faster Learning. Crashing an actual drone instantly grinds your high- flying party to a halt. Now you’ve got to get up, find the crash site, and make sure your quadcopter is still functional before hitting the gas and going for another run. If you’re crashing in a drone simulator, pressing a single button instantly resets your position and gets you ready to fly again. It’s perfect for nailing down basics like flying between some trees or a box without having to sit in the heat or walk through a park to retrieve your precious equipment. Compete Against Actual Pilots. The Drone Racing League simulator offers an online multiplayer mode, letting you compete with other pilots. If you’re interested in the competitive aspect, online play will put you against other pilots, some of whom are actual professionals. There’s no need to travel to an event when you can race in your own. Practice Makes Perfect. After spending a few days practicing, I can safely say that drone racing is an incredibly difficult skill to master. It’s a very smart way to test your skill as a drone pilot, or practice before you bite the bullet and get a drone of your own. My fascination with drone racing was grounded in reality after a few days of playing. In short, I suck, though I can thank the simulator for saving me a few hundred bucks on some starter quadcopter. With the 2. 01. 7 Drone Racing League season debuting on ESPN2 this year, and the finals taking place on July 8, I think I’ll watch the pros play instead. At $4. 0,0. 00, Would This Custom 2. Dodge Challenger Give ‘Em Hellcat? You could buy a Dodge Challenger Hellcat for about $7. K, or you could save thirty grand and buy today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe SRT8, which is also supercharged but features nitrous to boot. Let’s see if the car is up to the price’s challenge. At its $3,5. 00 asking, even I thought the seller of yesterday’s 1. Mazda 3. 23 GTX was reaching for the stars. That car had so many red flags it could have led a Putin parade, so many so in fact that not even a cool digital dash could even the balance. Enough of you agreed that we saw that little Mazda go down in a decisive 6. Crack Pipe loss. The GTX was GTFO. Aside from Tuesday’s Ferrari, which was naturally aspirated, all of this week’s contenders have come under pressure, either from the factory as with yesterday’s Mazda, or via the aftermarket as we saw with Monday’s De. Lorean and Wednesday’s vilified Camaro. I say, let’s let it roll, and as always, bet on black. Today’s 2. 00. 8 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is both supercharged and almost black so it totally fits the bill. Handy, no? The car has an interesting history. It was bought in 2. St. Louis Rams (now the L.A. Rams - go Rams!) offensive lineman Chris Williams.The car came with a built- up hemi, embiggened to 4.CID via a stroker kit, and toughened to take everything that the Kenne Bell twin- scroll supercharger sitting down in its valley could muster.That ends up being 1,0. there. BHP, or 2. 93 more ponies than a Hellcat. A nitrous system let’s the car get even more Mad Max if needed, and all the work is claimed to have been professionally completed. . As we shall see, that sometimes doesn’t mean that everything’s all happy dances and two kinds of pie, however.As it turns out, Williams had some initial teething problems with the car. They’re detailed in this article over on Hot Rod, but the short and curly of the story is that the original belt and pulley setup were unable to withstand sudden power cut offs, and would result in serpentine spaghetti under the hood, and a call to the AAA. Those issues, along with a number of others were sorted under Williams’ ownership, at which time the originally orange paint was also traded for a deep, dark black forest green. It seems that William’s motto is “if you’ve got a toy, you damn- well better play with it” because he only got about 2,0. That resulted in another trip to the shop where a Dyantrac Pro. NAG1 five- speed automatic were dishing out. That work was documented in this Hot Rod piece. The car not just all ate up with motor, it has a lot of other mods to enjoy, as well as just being a Challenger SRT8, which is about as badass a thing to be as you can imagine. The brakes are Brembos, the wheels are CCW alloys wrapped in Nittos, and the car sits all hunkered down on a KW coilover suspension. It’s also got all the bells and whistles you’d expect of a high- end Challenger—heated seats, Nav, keyless entry, etc—so you know you’ll get some dinner with your show. There’s only 1. 1,0. The paint is both clean and evil looking, while the interior shows almost as stock. The nitrous controls have been subtly integrated into the console, while a hoped for A- pillar gauge does prove to be present. By the way, those SRT seats—while may they look as cosseting and comfortable as Salma Hayek’s cleavage—are, in my experience, shit for the long haul. YMMV. Is this car now fully sorted and ready for a new owner to enjoy without worry of another major system letting go owing to is monster capabilities? That’s something that new owner will just have to find out. The cost to do so is $4. The question for you of course, is whether this Challenger is up to the task of earning that asking. What do you think, is this former footballer’s mega- hot Dodge worth that $4. Or, is this a Challenger with a too- challenging price? You decide!
