Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

Decided it was time to upgrade from my trusty Alienware 34" OLED ultrawide to something with more pixels. LG 32" 4K OLED 240Hz.

I've been thinking about upgrading mine for ages and ages. Thing is, to do so would cost around £500. It may not look different to my old one, but it has -

500w brushless motor.
Larger steppers with manual controls.
Limit switches (so I never have to hear the sound of grinding gears again)
A stop button.
Larger rails (12mm vs 10mm)
All metal body and motor holder (plastic now)
48v PSU vs 24 now.
New controller board that can take 48v (so I would need a new one, as even a higher RPM motor nearly melted it)
And so on.

I got 5% off, so it cost me £246. I will be able to use my 40cm extension (so it will be a 3040), but the rails will need making by my mate. Existing rails are 10mm, but the centre screw part remains the same. Oh and the side extensions of course.

I will put the old one back to stock, and can run simple slower jobs on it.
 
I love Lego. Sadly the Lego I loved was Technic and I would have no idea where to start. What I mean is whilst I do love Lego I have never seen anything I really would want to build. As kids my cousin and I were obsessed with roller coasters and theme parks. Even though I was too chicken to go on any big ones it was the engineering etc behind them. And of course theme parks were kick ass and I loved going !. Moreover my cousin and I would make spinning rides that had little carriages on them that would level out as it span. God, the hours we dumped into those things. One thing we could never make from Lego though was a coaster...

So last night I was poking around on Ali and stumbled across this.
