You can braze aluminum and brass with gas torch.

Got some 3d printed goodies. The parts in the middle and the right is used with the hudy set up station i got last week. They are dummy rear wheels to keep the chassis level on the set up station. The little blocks can be used to put underneath the actual rear tires in a pinch, but the dummy wheels should be used. They also came with pointers and brass thumb screws to check caster more easily on the front. The parts on the left are foam tire locators for my scales so the tires are dead center on the scales.

Brand new XTeam motor and the flysky FS-GTB3 and a couple of spare receivers.

The hobbywing motor that came with my max10 g2 140amp esc kind of kicked the bucket like 30 minutes ago. All of the threads are stripped that hold it to the motor plate lol.

Take the motor plate off and install some heli-coil inserts.

The tires are for the dirt Camaro car, the body is for the Tekno truck.
These babies are for the trail hunter. They should be a game changer for its crawling abilities

Guys, bad news. My xteam motor order has been shipped and I put in the wrong address so it doesn’t exist. So, I bought this today instead:

This soldering station finally arrived after almost two months of exercising patience. I like to think of it as just purchased.

I love my TK950. Mine is old school from before Whorizon Hobbies bought TrakPower, but it should still be the same unit which is nothing more than a nearly identical clone of the old discontinued Hakko 936. In fact if you buy a tip retainer for a Hakko 936 it will allow you to use the smaller Hakko soldering iron tips with your iron. TrakPower only offers 3 or 4 different sizes and types of tips.

You rock. Thanks for helping me solve challenge #1 before I even open the box.

Looks like a great cat toy if I ever saw one. I might have to get one for Mr pickles.

I remember when I was a teen I used to tie one of those little plastic balls with a bell in it to a fishing pole. The cat loved it.
Great intertainment when there was nothing on tv.

Years ago my old neighbors used to leave for a week or two at a time. They left me in charge to feed their cat. Before I had my own I used to be bored midnight or 1am and would go over and play with it when I was living alone and board.

Today I am piping out. @Tunedpipe meet tuned pipe.

 

[Tunedfrog]

LOL pleasure to meet you.
Are you a fan of pickles or are you just happy to see me?
