Build Thread Lost’s Element kit build

[Lostinthewoods86]

I feel kind of silly, I have a bad ass kit sitting here waiting to be built, and no where to build it. I have been cleaning up some of my hobby space so I have someplace to work, but after several hours you can herdly tell I've done anything.

Finally reached the point of not having anywhere to shuffle stuff too. I have too many projects and not enough time or space. Need to get off of here and go do some more "organizing" I can't believe how many things I have found that I don't remember ordering.

Don’t you have a kitchen table? we’ve been waiting for your build

 

[Doom!]

Yes, but I can't leave a build unattended, or the cats will have parts all over the house.

Hey now!

You had every opportunity, while Mrs D was in the hospital, for the cats to have '' " run away " "

But I love my thieving little felines, when they're not thieving.

Same here bro. I had 3 projects on the bench, moved those into boxes to finish later, and put two more projects back on the bench. This week we were supposed to get at least one of those done, but since Friday Breydon and I have felt like crap. I have maybe had 6 hours sleep since monday.

I have had a package with some mini molex connectors for the Doomsday build in my mailbox for a week now. It's going to stay there too until it warms back up

Maybe the boss went on vacation and now things are running smoothly.

Got the 1:1 trans gears in and pinion so I can get the transmission finished up. Hopefully I will get the aluminum braces and shock towers tomorrow to get the chassis and axles together. The servo horn in the kit is plastic and it has plastic spacer for offset. All the other upgrades in the kit and they throw that in . Got the aluminum offset FT horn coming

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

Gears are swapped

Motor mounted up

This will be as far as I get tonight. Hopefully I get a delivery tomorrow.

I have a body idea in mind, which won’t allow me to use the battery in the stock location. I also don’t think I can mount it in front of the servo, but I’m not sure yet. Maybe next to it or I cut up the shorty tray that comes with it and put it where the esc would go

While I get it’s not ideal for weight distribution, this is more a trail basher like all the others if we ever get more serious about it then we worry more about it

Seriously? Your not going to get serious until things get serious?

Man, if only you had a 3d printer

*I'm not going to stop until you buy one

I ain’t smart enough for one of them there thangs .

 

[WickedFog]

I ain’t smart enough for one of them there thangs .

90% of people that have them aren't smart enough to screw in a light bulb, but they still produce parts

You can assemble some really complicated RC's. A 3d printer would be like playing with legos

That's a ton of work just to go slow... probably could have found something at Walmart, if you looked for a bit.

It's looking good, though.
