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

[J’sCrawler]

I bought it used and I believe it was an rtr type kit so who knows. There’s no info on what weight so I’m just going to use the same stuff I put in the DB48. I’ll be getting in to the front and rear diffs sometime today after I do my chores I guess.

Replaced the trigger on my Radiolink RC6GS and recalibrated it.

Watch your eyes and for incoming lightning. been a while since I've seen an antenna like that!

Interesting looking radio. Might have to get one if the price is right.

I fitted the booster recently. Still haven't used it. I melted the trigger linkage when I soldered the coaxial cable to the circuit board.

I believe the 6GS and the 4GS trigger is the same? I broke the trigger off mine, I have the 4GS V3 radio. Broke the back side of it off, probably because I was using the radio in freezing winter weather last year. I just super glued it back on and it works fine, but the feel of it isn't that good.

The 4GS and 6GS are amazing radios, but the firmware and how they look are old (seems like 15 year old radios), but the functions aren't. the RC8X is more modern and updated, but it has lots of issues on the current firmware so thats why alot of people (like me) are downgrading the firmware. Maybe the next versions of the 4gs/6gs include a detachable antenna on the actual radio, that will be easier for transport.

Guess that's an unintended benefit of the booster. The antenna unscrews. I like the 6GS so far. I've have 3 rigs bound to it so far.

Greased the f450 front and rear diff. I didn't feel like putting in the rear locker. I also took out the front drive shafts while the tranny was out. Rwd open diff until Friday or Saturday. They were bone dry.

Packed it full. Doesn't take off in rabbit mode with the tiniest throttle input.

The Rustler got some new shoes and a Stampede body. The Rustler-pede. Definitely need some taller body posts for the front. To much rake.

You're going to lick that spoon clean, right?

Already did. Cherry flavored.

I don't know if it's just me, but red and tacky smells sweet.

I actually kinda like the rake. Looks awesome man.

Today I finally got my transmitter handle and put it on. I already noticed some small scratches on the screen already. I wish they made screen protectors that fits. I hope the scratches is just normal wear.

I also striped the anodizing on some aluminum screws that bolts the rear wheels onto my pan cars. I washed them with some soap and water and polished them to a chrome finish with some aluminum polish.

Is the handle just for carrying the radio? I've never seen anything like that before.

It's to pluck out his fellow opponent racers eyes. @Serea71 you should be ashamed. This is yhe tactics of @TRAT

I widened the holes on the motor plate for my Arrma Big Rock. This allowed me to fit a Kuron 2150KV motor in the little rig.

I'm going with a 19t pinion. (Not meshed in the pic below; just test fitting.) We'll see how she handles it once I've got this build done. I'm 90% finished, and should have her finished this weekend!

Yeah, it's just a handle. I thought it was neat so I went ahead and got one. I'm actually in the process of vinyl wrapping it I'll post a pic when I'm done

Well I managed to get one side done. Unfortunately all my x-acto blades dulled out and don't have a sharpener so i'll have to get more before I do the other side.

 

[Ramp addict]

Started to replace my front inner hinge pins on my Sledge just to find out the problem is a bit bigger than that. I've sent M2C an email to see if I can purchase just an A block.

 

[ridgehead44]

I worked on my Arrma Big Rock that I've built up from a slider. I've refilled the diffs. I've also installed the 2150KV motor, 19t pinion, spear gear, HR bell crank, HR hub extenders and Proline Bad Lands wheels/tires. I re-enforced the body with Gorilla tape, even though it's pretty thick already. The only thing left to do is tape down the ESC, plug everything in, and set up the radio. Should be able to give her the first test run this weekend, so long as the rain in Texas clears up!
