All the AI posts in FB groups on FB are just so stupid and annoying. 🤦
That's my daily rant

One AI post said what is your favorite rc track to bash on
Everyone including me said you don't bash at a track you race. Unless it's weekday practice...

It's getting even worse on YT. Nearly every other video has been AI created or enhanced in some way.
 
This is self explianatory right here

How many screws do you have to take off to get out the center diff in a AE Reflex 14T?

Gear cover 5 screws
Rear chassis brace 4 screws (2 at chassis, 2 at tower)
Read upper diff case 6 screws (4 at chassis 2 at tower)
Center dogbone tunnel 4 screws (esc tray 2 screws, 2 screws at front outdrive)
Extra for easy access:
4 wheels nuts
2 turnbuckle screws at hubs
2 shock pivot balls at tower

Why AE? Why???!!! 🤦

I had to repeat that process like 2-3 times because the diffs were locking up and gear mesh has a mind of it's own due to this ultra wacky motor mount.

Won't be surprised if they pull this off in the future:

Apparently, the same engineering mentality exists in the US....

I spent 32 years in a dealership parts/service dept.
If I had a dime for every time I said or heard that I'd be retired on a tropical island instead of in the woods in Michigan! 🤣
 
its Friday, things are slow, so of course I'm being loaded with BS busy work that doesn't need to be done. :rolleyes:
that thing we haven't made in 2 years. yeah make 9 and then just because, make extra flanges. cause reasons i guess.
that encapsulated one we have 4 finished ones of in stock and i just poured another one of this morning. yeah here's another one.
who knows what's next.
plus here's an order, finish that. so yeah, got that going for me.
 
Dr. called back, I don't have to go back until September. :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up:
So when your iron gets high, do magnets stick to you? That could make for some cool magic tricks if so 😜

That indeed would be a pleasure, unfortunately the real results of high iron is not so pleasurable.
Can you just imagine the money I could make betting people I can make a chunk of metal stick to me? :D

Excellent

Had my lab-work follow up with my doc yesterday, everything (Cholesterol, Thyroid, Vitamin D, etc) she checked was in great shape!

Awesome news bud, glad to hear it.
 
Bad news is, I installed the new bearing in my mower but something is still screwed up in the transmission so I'm just gonna
buy a new mower payday.
