I removed the winch from the snowplow on my crawler and installed a Savox waterproof servo and a couple springs
that helps return the blade to the down position when plowing. I think it's going to work much better than the winch.

I got the Power Wagon put back together fully and functional. Thing is going to slow crawl like a beast. I even found some nuts in an eye glass repair kit that fit my servo. Two issues have come about:
1) The servo is steering in the wrong direction. Is there an option on the FlySky FS-GT5 to reverse the input or am I missing something else?
2) I'm going to have to come up with a way to keep the battery secure and not laying on the motor. Do they have extension wiring harnesses for those batteries? I don't have the length I need. The other option is to fabricate some sort of lift for it.

Yes, the GT5 has servo reversing in the menus for each model... maual page 10.
On the model menu, should be a REV... then Ch 1, use the rotary switch to chag FWD to REV or vice versa

recomend a buggy for a basher for a guy that likes to ricky bobby his basher i dont do much jumping more just driving fast and wrecking lolHit my build threads… I have SEVERAL lol.. They’re fairly detailed, and lots of photos. I’m about to do another on the new buggy as well here in a couple days or so.. The Associated is up there also if you wanna compare first-hand..I DO like my RC8, and I’m not bashing on them for no reason. Check out the threads, and you’ll see what I mean lol..
Trying to clean up the “shop” so I can work on something
Repurposed an old kuerig cup holder for some of the paints

When I said “bashing” in what you quoted, I said it in the “bashing=talking shiit about” sense…
On the other hand-I have seen a TON of people grab a buggy for “bashing” who “don’t jump much”, although clearly it’s not taking advantage of the vehicle’s full potential.. As for the rest-I highly doubt you’re alone here regarding “driving fast and wrecking”,
… I replaced my silly (and highly modified/capable 
) MT with a race grade buggy years ago, and never looked back.. Could not have been happier with that decision, and I got to do a helluva lot more driving, and less wrenching/parts replacing.. 
All I’m saying is buggies absolutely DO make primo bashers.
Actual photo of said MT from almost 20yrs ago.. I can assure you-it was no slouch.. Modified Picco/WASP .26… Among other things-obviously lol..

LOVE IT MAN!!! I had that exact thought myself-and the only reason that I didn’t go with it was because I wanted as much workspace room on my bench as possible.. I ended up sourcing just the right “spice racks” I was able to find that I could modify when I got them so they matched the rest of my stuff, and didn’t look to “kitchen’y”…Trying to clean up the “shop” so I can work on something

I think they turned out pretty decent, and keeps all my stuff off of my bench as I have limited space in my tiny RC Dungeon..

That thing is gorgeous
It works for now. I want to eventually get some full shelves above my “bench”. I gotta figure out a better way to store all our ridesLOVE IT MAN!!!

Build an outdoor workshop like right next to where your track is going to be. Put the multi-track system or whatever it's called on the walls to hang your cars wherever you want. Put a set of stairs inside that go to the roof, where you'll have your driver stand. I'd go ahead and build a drinks bar up there as well, with fridge, ice machine, etc. Maybe a small hotdog cart with a couple tables off to the side. Jukebox would be cool too. UV spotlights for night time glow-in-the-dark racing. Announcer's booth, loudspeakers and all that jazz.It works for now. I want to eventually get some full shelves above my “bench”.

All cleaned up and mostly back together. Waiting on some more stuff from Amain and LutzRC to finish up then I can get it back out on the track. The tubing clamp pinch did little to nothing. Pinch feels the same. Probably will try again but with a smaller clamp. I was using a 1“ clamp, will try again with a 1/2” clamp.
