Picked up 4 vintage toy boats

Not technically RC boats (yet) but I do plan to set up at least one for remote control.

Picked up 4 vintage motorboat model toys

Dunno if they really count as "model ships" but I figure since they're somewhat based on real boats, I may as well share them here.

Mods that optimize the game?

I've been on a mod purge recently as my computer has decided that freezing for 5 seconds every 30 seconds is an appropriate way to run this game. I've gotten my list down to 80 mods, and its back to running exactly as it did before I started adding mods, but it still has that pause every few minutes to purge memory. are there any mods that make the game run smoother, similar to Sodium or Lithium for Minecraft?

81 C70 has decided to chew through headlights, whats a probable cause?

As stated, my C70 honda has blown another headlight bulb. I've checked the things I could think of, those being the rectifier and the bulb. The bulb is of course, shot, but the rectifier seems to be reading as fine. (The actual reading is .506 one way)

The worst part is that this bulb was an LED so it was pretty expensive, and I just know the solution is gonna be dead obvious.

Honda C70 ('81) carburetor float valve issues?

The float needle valve in my C70's carburetor is sticking, badly enough that I can hold the carburetor right way up and it won't fall out, even when I tap the carb with a wrench. I've gotten a new needle but that hasn't fixed the issue. I've been having issues getting the carb tuned in despite the very handy YT tutorials, so I suspect this may be what's causing the issue.

​

The tuning issue basically requires me to keep the throttle open while at idle, but goes away under load.

​

Do I splurge and go for a new carb or is there a higher quality rebuild kit out there I can buy?

Antenna length and signal blockage?

I recently decided to begin upgrading my fleet to 2.4GHz and am wondering if I will need to lengthen the antenna, or if leaving it completely internal will cause issues.

This is the setup that got me through all 50 waves (ignore the Spectre, thats only there cuz I wanted to try it out after unlocking it)

I'm sure I could have done this better, and certainly could reduce the spaghetti, but this is also as far as I've ever made it in the game, so idk. Thoughts?

Headlight options?

Got a busted headlight and I'm looking at replacements on ebay, and they're all about 65 bucks or more. I did however find that Silvania makes a 4.5 inch sealed beam bulb (part no. 4411) which seems to be halogen or LED (the listing isnt exactly clear) and I was wondering if anybody here has used one of these bulbs in place of a regular honda bulb?

Best oil to use in a 1970 Honda CT90? Synthetic blend, full synthetic, or mineral?

Ive got a CT90 thats new to me and I'm looking to change the oil. I know I need either 10w-40 or 15w-40 , but for all my trying I cannot find anything that isnt either synthetic blend or full synthetic. I know the best thing would be to get natural but if I can't find any, whats the next best?
