What did you work on today?

I reinstalled the original Flux-branded 4s motor and ESC into my Maverick Quantum R Muscle Car that I had robbed the Max8 G2 2250kv system from. My Infraction 6s took over the position of road ripper from the Maverick, and it just made sense to rob the motor and ESC from the Maverick to put into my new Asuga roller.

Looks good! You use carbide end mills on the CF or HSS?

Just got thru swapping the 4s Mojave center fluid diff & power module/gearbox into my Senton 3s. Fit right in. Senton driveshaft fits perfectly. Have to have the chassis insert lock from the 4s module. It's shorter. There are 2 holes in the Mojave gearbox that are for 2 M4 flathead screws that go in from the bottom of the chassis into the gearbox. The holes are already there in the Senton chassis, I just had to countersink them for the screws. I'll get some pics later. Still have a few things to mod. New motor fan & ESC.

Yesterday I joined the Stock-Gorgon-Servo-Sucks Club. It really is just a placeholder for something better. I went with the waterproof all-metal, and much stronger and faster Spektrum S665. It's mounts are a little thicker, so I might eventually swap in longer screws, but it seemed to have decent bite with the stock screws.

Nice, I was tempted to pick up one the the Granties that are on sale and do that swap to it. I didn't want to upset the wife though, so I'll let that plan sit for a while and see if it evolves into something else for me to pounce on at a later date.

Took apart the Lasernut to see why the rear wheels stopped getting power to them. Aside from the differentials being almost bone dry, I saw no breaks or anything else that would be the culprit. Hmmm.

Check for broken hex pins. I've previously spent time diving into diffs when it turned out to be a busted hex pin. The diff has pins for the drive cup inside as well that could break as well.

Very cool thank you

Almost forgot buddy.. almost…

Here ya go sir:

Hope that’s what you were after my dude.

I installed the Ram Jam titanium wheel hexes and nuts on my Infraction 6s. These hexes are of the highest quality machining I have seen in a long time.

I moved the serrated wheel nuts that were on the Infraction to my new Corally Asuga, which came with non-serrated wheel nuts. I don't know why Corally does that; the non-serrated nuts loosen more easily than serrated nuts.

Another mental health day. Four wheeling in the woods...breaking in a new belt.

Here's the pics. #5 shows the two holes already in the Senton chassis I counter sunk for the 4s module.

Finally found time to get started on my girl’s truck..

And an hour and a half later with hand drivers only, as it was “late:thirty”…

I replaced the stock 13T pinion in my Corally Asuga with a 16T pinion. According to Corally, a 16T pinion should give me 47 MPH on 4s and 70 MPH on 6s. I run my three Corallys mostly on 4s.
