What did you buy today?

Nice! I picked up the dual bevel version of that saw this past fall and have been loving it. I was a trim newb before getting it and it took me no time at all to start getting some awesome results. Check out the family handyman website if you are still honing your craft, it has a ton of useful info.

I had one of those Testors airbrushes years ago building models as a kid. (Propellant from an aerosol can). Worked pretty well from what I remember. Always wish I still had it. Do you have a link to what you bought?

now I have to find an adapter to go from the 1/4" outlet to my airhose

Pretty tough truck ya have there. I beat the crap out of mine on 3S and only snapped an axel pin so far. Also took a lot of slop out of the steering. There's a video on YT how this is done, so I made my own part and it's better now.

Thx for the encouragement and the tip.
On FB I'm getting some haters sayin' how bad Redcat is.
Would have the YT link?
I'm figuring the servo has cheap plastic gears and was planning on repacing it with the Tactic TSX-40, same one I put in my Vorteks and Blackout, sucker really takes a beating and keeps steering.

I hate internet thugs... of course it's not the best brand out there but the ones my Son and I have hold up to our backyard abuse. His servo stripped but I have plenty of spares for 1/10th scale so it was no big deal for me.
This guy talks a lot but you get an idea how to fix the steering slop if yours has a lot of play.

Have you checked out RedcatRampageForum.com?

No I haven't. This is my home!

It's okay if you do, we won't hold it against you. Plus it's another site I run.

I thought the format looked familiar... You are one busy man WoodiE!!! But this is where I want to be. I don't even visit R/C Universe anymore and I've been a member there for years.

Sheesh! He does get windy! And thx!
So, in my world of simple bullet points; put an adjustable tie-rod between the 2 points, then hit the trigger on the Tx.

Yes, basically it ties the bottom of the steering rack together. You just have to make sure it clears the front shaft.

Got a small package today...
These were in it.

And this was in it.


The tires are going on my next project. The Body???

I bought a ticket to a local fire department's gun raffle a week or two ago and got a call from my buddy last night that I won a gun! First time in 25 years of buying tickets that I've ever won. That was a nice Easter present.

Ordered the Nero w/Diff Brain for my son yesterday! Tower has them on sale for $450 and another $60 off with member coupon, I think that's a hell of a truck for $390. He's had a Rustler for years, so this will be quite a change for him. Can't wait for our next RC group gathering this Saturday, I'm sure lots of Ooo's and Aaah's over the new eye candy!

Congrats! It's a great truck and that's a fantastic price. If I didn't have my money going so many other places right now I would probably pick up a second one
