Axial Ryft Build

[WickedFog]

Got all the electronics today except the servo. They shipped that one from California, and it hasn't moved yet. Ordered it Saturday

Shipping has really slowed down for everything. Not sure about everybody else but amazon no longer delivers here, USPS or UPS delivers it.

 

[WickedFog]

As long as we get it by Saturday, it will be ok. Actually, we have a lot of things to work on, but was hoping to build this first. If I have to, I'll just toss a different servo in for now.

Yeah, it definitely has that. I was planning on getting it all setup today and went to solder the battery wires on the ESC and I have no freakin clue where I put my 12awg wire. I mean, there is nowhere else it should be but on my bench. But 3 days of organizing and rearranging, and POOF. It's gone. I was getting low anyway, so I just ordered some more for tomorrow. I may post up a vid tomorrow of setting it up if anyone wants to see the process.

@WickedFog Cleaning workstations can do that to you!

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm working on my workstation so I can post to the "show your workstation" thread.

 

[Doom!]

Make sure you leave room at your workstation for the bits you have to order because you don't know where you put the other ones. I am notorious for doing this.

 

[WickedFog]

I cleaned my bench after organizing, then IMMEDIATELY started two little projects and cluttered it all back up and walked away. This build starts in 2 days, so I need to go de-clutter it so we can really mess it up this weekend. That reminds me... I need to paint today!

Well, the Tekin stuff all shipped from Champaign Illinois, which is only 3 hours from me. But the Tekin servo shipped from California, and FedEx decided they would stay true to their previous standards I have seen and they dropped the ball big time. The servo won't be here til Tuesday now. Check this stupid chit out. Destination is the red dot.

I mean at least it’s still in the same country. Just wait til they want more for mileage.

I'm willing to bet the stupidity doesn't end there. I've had them take my package from one city to another over 300 miles away, then take it right back to the previous city, then pass my town by 70 miles, then come back.

Lmfao. Keep us posted.

 

[WickedFog]

Gonna go ahead and start the build tomorrow. The servo can go in last since it just mounts on the axle.

Have you considered none of this would be a problem if you would just move to Oklahoma?

Check behind your ear. You would be surprised what I have found behind mine.

Or California. But only the criminally insane would live there
