What did you do today?

[Johnny b]

I went to the track today with the guys and tried the new Upgrade RC branded tires from Amainhobbies.com. Dirt Claw and Saw Blade. I liked Dirt Claw the best for the terrain. The pipe is the start to forming the borders so it keeps us honest and not cutting corners. We ran out of stakes for that other roll.

Nice track! Beautiful Country! I miss running with my buds on my track!

Had a bowl of golden grahams. Will walk dogs. That's good for today, no sense in over doing it.

Painted my rims matching color to the body on the Vorteks today, just waiting to dry... That's about it

Did you sit back in your recliner to fast?

Worked on the FSR Mustang GT for the 1st time. Very very difficult to service all 3 diffs compared to Arrma. So much more to take a part especially center and front diffs. Hard to explain the front diff tried my patience today unlike any experience I have had servicing an RC . It was not enjoyable at all. Will never swap fluid again. Run it until it breaks.

Just the center diff.
Middle tray under the car needs to be removed 6 screws on the topside not to bad
Motor / motor mount/ 2nd brake and assembly hard to remove
Both drive shafts
2 hours of playing around before I realized it all has to come out.

Front diff even harder diff cover has to round pieces that go into the chassis.
After trial and error got a flat head under to leverage it up....ok it came off.
The control arms and 6 nuts also come off. Lot of extra work see pic ( regret not taking some while working but to into it)
Just added late .......to get the diff cover back on had to flex the chassis down and then push the cover on. 10x and it went on.
6 nuts you can't get back on easily either more dissembly or tweezers and patience. I chose tweezers 2 more hours
All 3 diffs 60% empty
8 hours total approximately all 3

Just ordered all this, changing my kids granite into the bigrock. Also my kraton 4s is a outcast 4s v2 now with the red body. Center diff upgrade coming next. Replace broken front arms on outcast.

No ..lol.....I was laughing so hard from watching a 40 min. U-tube vid of Gilstrap farting. Very immature and my kind of humor.

Just arrived from Amazon. Paula surprised me with my very own fart machine! A woman after my own heart ( or fart ). I'm gonna have so much fun with this! some of them sound like sharts!

We went on a long e-bike ride today. Man I wish I would have had that fart machine with me as we passed other bikers!

 

[Johnny b]

Wheeling in the woods. Came over a hill to see a mother bear with 2 cubs. Cubs shot up a tree. Mom stood up on hind legs to scare us..it worked! Backed up slowly, cubs came down tree with Mama and everyone went on there way. Cubs were very small.

Aqua therapy today. 50 mile river trip to Silver Glen Springs. Seen gators, birds, turtles and several idiots...great day! Almost passed out blowing up tube so gf could float on it for 10 minutes!

Going boating at New Smyrna Beach in small vessel. Shark capital. Bringing fart machine to scare them away and use at restaurant.

Boating in New Smyrna Beach on the intercoastal. Stopped at disappearing island. When the tide comes in, it disappears. When the tide goes out better make sure your boat doesn't get grounded. Almost happened to us today. Had to push boat along sand back into water. Seen lots of dolphins and pelicans and seagulls......Excellent day! This is the shark capital although we did not SEE any. Typically, where you find dolphins, you will not find sharks.

Looks like an awesome time!!

15 foot 5 inch..... 2076 lbs. Great white. Found in northern Florida about 100 miles off shore. More white sharks are beginning to be seen down in Florida. Typically we have lemon, black tip, hammerhead and bull sharks. Bull sharks are typically even more aggressive than white sharks.

Almost forgot, Paula took this pic approximately 20 ft from boat. She claims it was a shark. I did not see it at all. I'm thinking a dolphin but fin is very dark.
