we got to go for a walk yesterday, spent 1/1/26
as per usual things broke. we ran till we failed then we packed em back out!
this time we talked the wife into going with us, no truck driving from her, but she was there and thats a great start lol
i took the basecamp with the new aluminum axles,,, failure. theres a hiccup in it, i gotta take the front apart again and figure it out, theres a small hop to one of the front wheels, and when we reverse the tires swing and throw it into a spin. not cool
so my son drove the Old Man (ecto) instead. it outperforms the basecamp, BUT he drives my truck a LOT more carefully than he des his.
hes a test dummy with his truck hes just hard on it when its mine lol
i drove the bison, i really dig that truck lol but it failed me as well. I'm 99% certain that i didnt install my motor correctly. when i had installed the fusion8 it didnt want to seat properly and i had to dremmel a small part of the transmission case down for it to fit, i think i didnt drill enough off and i believe that cased my pinion to eat my spur gear from the sounds of it.
i remember feeling nervous about it when iinstalled it but i was being a dumb and said it was good enough while KNOWING it was in fact not good enough. now we deal with the consequences of our actions.
didnt get many pics but the wife did. but then she added music to it for her ticytoky. o well lol
