What did you work on today?

Just get a Larger socket to slide over that 17mm and bang that bearing off!

That's exactly what I just did Tex. I gave the larger socket several good wacks but it didn't budge. Just held the part in my hand and suddenly the 2 pieces just shot off like a gun shot. One piece bounced off my hot water heater and dented it and the other bounced off my boat and hit me in the head. I guess I damaged it enough to break. can't make this stuff up!

Titanium Driveshafts. Kraton/Talion center, Typhon front.
Had to relocate the fan mount from inside to outside motor. Too close to shaft.

Both center titanium driveshafts are only 2g lighter. The front shafts are 8g lighter - but stronger, I hope. They are a bit thicker for the same weight.

Prepped these new Titanium wheel blocks.

Very Nicely Made!
The Scorched weigh in at 106g R/L (those screws!)
Stock Arrma weigh in at 60g. R/L

Decided to change the body on my Frankenstein build, Im calling it the Typhon Hornet, lol.
Also put a Max6/Hobbystar 4282 1780kv motor and Hobbystar high speed/torque servo. Weighs 10lb/2oz without battery, my largest 6s battery weighs 1lb/13oz so still under 12lbs total.

I laughed when I saw your last picture. You’re a good cat dad, man. My cats have all of those same toys, even the bus scratcher. Well, had…. I think the bus only made it about a week. One of my cats, Jack, has claws from hell and made it his mission to destroy it asap. It was hilarious. He’d walk in the room, glare at it, and then launch into it.
