What did you work on today?

[gotnitro]

I have an idea!

Oh no! What did I just create!

Today I mowed my dead lawn. I set the blade almost all the way down. I'm going to cut it again even shorter and create a major dust storm. Hoping to win lawn of the month award. hope no one flicks a cig cuz it will go up like a tinder box.

Just remembered from prior homes. Grass always greener over septic tank. I don't have septic here but clean out for sewer is in front yard. Take cap off and instant lawn fertilizer.

I thought maybe you stopped using the indoor plumbing, thought you were trying to lure the bears back to your place.

Switched out the connectors on my Promodeler servos and servo battery packs to IC3.

Also painted the body on the Reflex 14b.

Was out ripping the local pit and this little guy put a pause on thing's. Always carry some tools.

I'm driving this 20 year old liberty with 230k miles to West Virginia this Sept. Pulling a quad on a trailer. Should be an adventure.

That must take no time to mow! Kinda wish mine didn't take so long but an acre and 2/3 is solid grass almost and then the other 1.5 has a lot of obstacles. Just mowed yesterday, took the Noto out today. Here's a panoramic of the front half I took today. The ramp is hiding behind the 1st gen Ranger.

Back half image says too big, even after compressing.

You need to hit it with some Heat to break loose that buttonhead screw..

Butane torch lighter does the trick.. Every time.

You can get them Cheap!
$3-4.00 at the Dollar General store ,by the cash registers for cigarettes.

I was about to ask... but what if I'm not a crackhead?

Not to worry..
IF you buy them in Bulk.. and just say you're planning to go Off Grid/Survival..

No one will judge you.

So, beefing up the TT02 drivetrain to solid steel lead to another problem. As evident in the pics shared earlier, I was able to secure the front assembly using the original bearing and cutting the original front hold-down to accommodate the bigger input cup.

This setup works but had the rear jittering around like a jonsing tweaker. Like enough that I knew it would be a problem. But how to secure this:

That rear cup is maybe 1/16 or less away from the aluminum motor mount. Either way, it's obvious that no matter what I do it has to held down with a bearing. Or friction does as friction will with anything. So I played around with bearings and as luck would have it, the center shaft bearing for the Arrma 3s platform ALMOST fits. So I remove the rear assembly, stick in my drill, and hit it with a file until the bearing can slip 1/4 of the way on.

Bearing on and next issue is how to secure this. Seeing as it needs to be held down, and they already make something to hold this particular bearing, I hit up the LHS for an Arrma center shaft support mount. After a bunch of precise measurements and some epoxy stick reinforcing, this is what I have:

Now, the fact I made all this work lead to yet another Dad-Blasted problem. My 3s batteries no longer fit..But, remember those broken TF2 center shafts I used to make these new inputs? The other half of them are now my battery posts. Just need a bit more height and now I can mount the batteries on their sides!

Even though I've already anticipated this and have an order incoming, brownie points to the first to mention what the next problem with this setup will be..

Finally put a drive in my scx24 fj40 . Made a velcro dust seal for the spur case on the vortex. At work took a diesel pump off a VW t25 for rebuild and refit a rebuilt pump on a VW lt35

I've added 2 red radiatorhose clamps to tidy up my fireteam's cable management a little. Using less ty-wraps was the idea.

Have been working on my Reflex 14b, the motor combo finally came in.

Then UPS came, and now I have this to assemble.... Any guesses?

Ramp?

It's the KC RC 48" wide ramp. Can't wait to try it out.

The best looking seats ever put into a car. The interior is the best part of those rigs. So classy.
