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

[Xraycer]

See @Xraycer - we do have a drift car

This has been in the box since Christmas. Time to turn some wrenches on it while I wait for parts for other stuff. The MST RMX 2.0 is being born.

Getting it ready for the f450 conversion?

 

[WickedFog]

Fixed my broken shock
But I have a piece I'm unable to put back on I'm frustrated.
The piece that going through the cap to keep it stable?
It won't push back through
I've tried with the shock pliers and it just shoots out

You need to put that bushing back in that shock. Don't run that with just the screw though there or you'll be buying shock bodies next.

I am just building this one as is for now. It came with the Mustang body. But yes @Chubaka. Eventually this will be converted with the CEN 450 conversion kit.

The long wheelbase handles amazingly. You won't regret it. Looking at a couple mst in my future. One will be an f450.

I want to build the 450, print up a trailer, and get a 2.5 drifter to ride on it

I'm thinking of a roll back bed on it with a nitro rs4 strapped on with true scale rachet straps.

I took a break from it as I was getting frustrated
When I picked it back up it fell apart lolol
It's meant to separate and be put on!!!!!!!!
I'd not seen that they separate and was banging my head against a wall lol
Problem solved now

Hey, don't feel bad. I have never seen that before either

 

[WickedFog]

Well, she's starting to look like an RC of some sort.

When my pops passed away a few years back, one of the things that my mom sent my way was his old pitbox from back when we ran together at the track.. I briefly went through it a couple years ago, and discarded anything that would never be used again, or had just gone bad (fluids, air filters, etc). -but I never really did give it the attention it deserved as far as actually CLEANING it up.. I’ve literally been using it as a pedestal for my nitro truck atop my starter box for said truck..

Well in lieu of the Jammin’ CRT.5’s breeding over here lately, and knowing I planned to do some “kit breaking” for parts support on the two I am building; I decided I’d clean it up, and make room for all the parts I’ve accumulated, so they are both easily accessible, and still packed up & generally out of the way of my 1/8 stuff..

Still had NC dirt in it from the track I put together years ago.. Was kinda surreal going through it again.. Wasn’t much left after the previous “clean up & trash” chore, but still.. Still feels kinda strange that it belongs to me now.. definitely miss ol’ Pops, and ironically enough, the 1/8 nitro truggy he ran was actually a Jammin’ CRT..

I vacuumed it out, left his Thomas & Betts UV resistant Ty-rap’s for my air filter duties, and a very few other odds and ends that I can’t bring myself to dump.. Some silicone exhaust gaskets, a few old school clutch shoe tools, etc.. anyhow, I then gave it a thorough cleaning with a blue disposable shop towel or five, and some “Shout” laundry pre-treat. That stuff works killer on almost all plastics for removing NC clay, and I used it on my race bikes, as well as my RC’s years ago.

Before:

After:

And loaded up with every last Jammin CRT.5 spare, and NIP part I’ve accumulated-which is a LOT if you’ve seen my latest build thread introduction posts..

SUPER stoked with how it all came together, and worked out absolutely FLAWLESSLY.. Now it’s pulling double duty, as it’s STILL gonna hold the NT48 2.x in the corner while it’s not out tearing it up..

Thanks brother-I’d like to think he’d approve of it being back to work, and in rotation..
