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

Here's a better picture of all that fancy bracing I just got done installing.

 

[DavidB1126]

I thought I was fixing my daughter's Tekno. New a-arms, new suspension pills, all new M2C bracing.
What I was really doing was finding more things wrong with it. Dead front ring gear, more dead input gear, and a broken bellcrank top plate. Before I can go farther I need parts, they have been ordered.

How in the world did a Tekno break? I thought they were supposed to be durable... Must have taken a wrong turn

“Everything breaks if ya drive it wrong enough…”

“Everything breaks if ya drive it wrong enough… just ask @DavidB1126 ”

Oh they break all the time, you just have to be the guy/girl to push it that far.

Started putting one of my custom painted white Raptor R bodies together, stickers, and various scale bits.

I painted two of them a couple weeks ago, finally started working on completing them.
Discovered I missed ordering a few of the scale detail bits like the side mirrors, twilights and tailgate cover.
Got those ordered this afternoon.

Why don't they have some soft foam wrapped around that pole? Oh wait... do they sell parts there too?

She's related to me. That probably answers a lot of questions.

This is a picture of the same truck the very next day. It's Carcass the Outcast, it can't be killed.

Reflex.
put the esc on the chassis near the battery because the esc tray mount broke at the track. Could have mounted it near the receiver and on its side like hpw the 14B is setup but imo it would be too offset weight distribution you know. And did some cutouts for motor fan/esc for airflow.

Also wrenched on the Mini B, putting on a newer but used spare shock rod end/eyelet i had on the rear shock. stays on the pivot ball better than the other one i had. also had to cut the 3d printed spring perch to fit the shock and not bind up.

Trying to find solutions to keeping rocks out of my steering linkage and drive line of my MAXX Slash.

I found these mud guard / fender liners from an RC 3D printing company.
I ordered a set , going to give them a try.

I own buckets of bearing. Do I own one 6x13x5 bearing? NO.
That's what Fast Eddy and priority shipping is for. My Sledge will be running by next Saturday.

I might try to stretch a piece of nylon hosiery across the front secured by those front end/brace and servo mount screws...

I don't like your battery, can't you get one that looks nicer?
