Ended up working basically 24 hours straight yesterday so today I obviously broke a bunch of stuff. Got the GT3B paired to the nitro sport, ordered the carb for it... pressure tested the 2.5 again and slept somewhere too. Fun fun.
 
Looks like I got some work to do after a bad bounce and crash. Damn....

Built up an axle pair for the Rustler R1E. Had a cart full on the buy list. But then rummaging through the basher stash came up with mix enough old and new for a good pair. Trims the buy list saving a bit of money and uses down the stash. Cheers. 'AC'

I have the beetle body epoxied back into one piece now on to grinding these old mounts off and cut out and mount a backing for the body around the mounts.

The body flexed hard here where it's mounted and blew apart. I need to back up this area.

This is some random piece of automotive plastic I found. It will make a good backer after I hack it up then drill and screw it to the body. I can't have this thing exploding every time I do something stoopit.

Today I worked on a new project that's been sitting in it's box for months. Still need to install the servo and esc.

Looks great. Love the tires.


Today I did minor work to my N RS4 3, and started cutting out the front bumper on the Impreza body.

I honestly think there will be just enough buoyancy to keep me afloat.

I might even use a full piece of pipe and run it through the seat frame shown here..
