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

[WickedFog]

Reminds me of Bond's Astin Martin.

It sure does. Is that Tamiya gunmetal? If so, I have used it when I did the Ryft panels, which I did that marble effect. Whatever yours is, it's got some good reflective qualities to it. I bet if you gave some lexan a couple really light coats, then backed it with black, it would mirror pretty good.

For a moment I thought you were trying to make MicroMaxx baby trucks...
I was afraid we might have to have 'the talk'.

Yeah it is different my ex hated my RC's and I been talking to this new one she has no clue about them but shows interest in them.

I'm gonna buy a pair of crawlers for me and Mrs Certified. I think she will enjoy it once she settles in.
Even a stock, 2s brushed Gorgon was too fast for her... she is scared to crash.

Hopefully you guys will find a common bond in RC.

I hope so but she shows sincere interest because that is what I am passionate about. She is having a hard time grasping why I need so many. She seems interested in driving them. She refused to give any thought to driving them. She was worried if it broke I would be mad. I showed her a video of me bashing my granite that eased her mind a bit

Sounds like a good start!

I am ok with it if that's what it takes. I will even buy whatever she wants. It will be better than being told I am an idiot wasting my money. My ex thought she was entitled to not work or pay any bills plus spend my money however she wanted.
New girl works has her own place and argued because I wanted to pay for coffee at Starbucks plus tries to give me gas money for driving to see her

I thought that was how all RC trucks carried their offspring in the wild.

Pretty good maiden voyage on horizon harbor tug, only 1 water cannon works, but it shoots far enough tht leave it alone. Camera works ok, I need to add a little more ballast on starboard ballast box to cure a slight list. The disruptor needs 6 148 gr wadcutters to correct added weight of metal servo, adjusted prop strut a bit,happy with the mods on jetstream, intake grate, and servo for trim, cut down the steering rate on a 3 position switch,

On tonights wrench menu, Ill swap out the 120 spektrum esc on the sonic wake 36 for a seaking 180 and try that tommorrow.

The seaking 180 is 60 grams heavier plus weight of series connector, so ill add that weight to the flood chamber side.

Installed grooved orings, TiNi shafts, lighter springs, new rod ends, hard balls and 350cst oil in the rear shocks of the Optima Mid.
Also finished assembling turnbuckles, ready to install.
Shock tower will prob go on next, then replacing rear arms and hub carriers, fancy ceramic hybrid bearings and a suspension arm mounting plate.

Almost the entire rear suspension is getting upgraded and or replaced now.

The shocks feel TOTALLY different! SO SMOOTH!!! I really can't wait to get it all back together again now!

I used my new, used shock tool (thanks @Serea71 !!!) and it was WAY easier to do the job.

This hobby makes me do some strange looking things. Like capture an RC car in a hamper basket!

I'm gluing an undertray into my chassis with E6000 which STINKS so bad!
Hoping this cover holds up over the next day or two while it cures and the fumes go away.
