Itā€™s got motors in that make the game more realistic
When driving on gt sport when u go over the lil grooves on the road you can feel the rumbling in your back and body itā€™s mint.
I was hitting them as much as I could the other night as It gives you a wicked massageā€¦On that note Iā€™m gonna fire up the vr and try some porn :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

No telling on quality, or shipping costs.
Kind of a leap of faith but the price looks nice.

Iā€™ve saw various things on there but when looking at reviews people say they donā€™t get whatā€™s in the pictures, Thatā€™s where the quantum boards and solstrips come from but the shipping costs are quite high.

I have some cobs just need a couple of heatsinks and a driver nd some other bits and bobs.
You can get decent cobs on ebay if you want I can send you a link?

I got quotes from a couple of alibaba traders about a year ago for generic quantum boards. Their prices appear great until they double them when they add their shipping charges.
I got citizen cobs from Export Estonia on ebay for a good price. I can recommend them :thumbsup:

Solstrips I donā€™t think are from Ali mate. @Baudelaire is who developed and designed them so maybe he will chime in and correct you or me on where the manufacturing is done :+1:

Horticulture lighting group sell quantum boards
meanwell drivers are HLG.
Looks to me like they cashed in on it :slight_smile:

You can get lm561c hard strips on Ali. Heā€™s not wrong. But shipping prices are extortionate. Before baudelaire designed the solstrips. Iā€™m pretty certain you could still get lm561c hard strips just single line and 12v.
A fair few of the Ali sellers replace the lm561c diodes with smd5050ā€™s

Moral of the story is. If youā€™re gonna repeatedly ignore whatā€™s being told to you. Youā€™re gonna keep pissing money away on shite. (Last bit is generic. Not directed at anyone personally)
