Who was wrenching today??? What did you do??

[Tunedfrog]

The crawler I built for my sis has rear steer, but I keep it solid and don't use it.
Yesterday I was cleaning my shop and I discovered the rear wheels were turned, I
thought I had the body on backwards, so I went to face it the right way and the
adjustment link I was using to keep the steering straight was broke so added two new ones.
I also ran it though the program card because I changed it to Lipo.
It's the two blue adjustment links you see.

OK this set of axles are going on the blue Jeep and it will have rear steer.
I'll put the other set on my sisters rig.

Un-gluing tires…

UDIRC has THE best glue in the business…. I have had plenty of success removing tires with the goof off but these are on another level.

New axles. F10 knock-offs because my Capra knock-offs were too wide and clipped multiple gates at the last (my 2nd) comp.

I set up a new Rlaarlo XTS-S10 (the unlicensed Subaru WRX rally car). It's an RTR, but it took me a very long and frustrating time to put on the decals. I'll post some photos tomorrow.

Installed the new links in the blue Jeep.
Well, the front anyway. I'll do the rear today.

All finished with the Jeep.

Attempted a 3-way swap (No, not THAT kind gutterminds!!) with a new motor, an old motor, and 2 trucks.
I'm dying to put a Furitek brushless in my AX24. Attempted 2 different ones, gave up, bought a cheap 050 brushed motor I hate, then figured out that if I ordered the right kit it would have come with a skid that makes it work. So I ordered it. Now I can do it all again in a week, good Lord and USPS willing...

DAMMIT!!! I was all ready to start demanding pics for 'Rig of the Month'!

Somewhere out there, somebody has that exact fetish. You might need a leather mask, though...

I love my old Losi Baja Rey 2.0 F100 Isenhouer Bros. desert truck but was always annoyed by the saggy rear section bouncing up and down like it was made of rubber. I ordered some nice carbon fiber rear chassis braces from ThreeDPrintDesigns and put them on the truck today. Perfect fit, and no more saggy butt!

Now all I need is for Spring to get here!

Axles are fighting me every step of the way. Meant for 7mm wide link ends, scxpro uses 7.5mm so had to file 8 tabs. Driveshaft thru-holes wouldn't line up to the axle input shaft, so had to remove an e-clip to get it closer. Now rims are just barely hitting the screws holding the portals together. Almost there!

Not exactly wrenching but I am building 1/10 scale crawler obstacles.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Worked on the rear steer rig some more.

 

[Tunedfrog]

All finish and much happier with it. Before I mounted it on the chassis and didn't like it because it created really sloppy turning.
I made a servo mount and mounted it on the axle. The rear steering is perfect now.
I'm looking into a mini milling machine and mini metal lathe so I can make better looking parts.
It's so nice that I've found the love in RC again.

I'd love to get a mini mill/lathe! Awesome!!!

Have you found anything you like yet?
