Scratch and dent blackjack 24 came today, inner box perfect, ill take a tiny bit of outer box damage for $120 less..lol

Looks good, ill go through it and drill out cooling passages to 3mm, put better cooling lines and route them better with less hard bends, check alignment of flex shafts and lube up, swap radio out and conformal coat and di electric grease, and sharpen prop and check balance, swap 90 esc to 120.. you know get ready for all that maiden voyage stuff..canopy has flotation on it..flotation in front of hull as well.

Overall pleased for $220..

Dang those are some sexy cats.
 
Wow, is that engine huge or just my imagination?

I actually rip the fingers out of XL “Mechanix” leather gloves, lol.. It’s honestly no bigger externally than any of my other nitro engines, but it looks massive with the fat daddy low CG head for sure.. 😈

Little hands make everything look bigger 🤣

Legit beat me to it.. 🤣🤣🤣

Thats cool, they sell those cleavers too?
Ill have to check them out.

Errrrrrrybody loves my lil’ Choppah lately.. 😅
 
One of my projects in retirement is to clean up and cerakote some of my older sharp objects.

This old cleaver is one of those projects (Foster Bros), the blade is 8" x 3 1/2" and 1/4" thick at the spine

Then there is the little brother (Robeson), blade is only 4 1/2" long

I put a new handle on it a couple years back.
