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

[WickedFog]

Thanks for the feedback.

Honestly, I am not incredibly worried about making it MORE effective. At least not this year. Maybe next winter LOL
This was just a fun project, just becuase.
I saw it as a free file on Bambu and already had some filament on the printer so I figured why not?
I also had he spare servo as I had just replaced one. And I was in the middle of rebuilding the JLU anyway - well, converting it to brushless.

So I figured what the heck, let's try it.

I have never been mechanically inclined, but I do have a creative side, and, I do like being mentally challenged (yes, I said that). SO what I have struggled in life mechanically always overcame out of sheer stubbornness and the intellect side of figuring out how something works, then making it happen. I guess that's why some folks are engineers are some are mechanics LOL.

But, I still have a few more little things to do with this. I got a while Jeep SCX30 for Christmas and my goal is to make them look as close as possible to eachother. These will not be comp builds by any means, just scale builds with as much performance as possible without losing scale look.

I also have 3 other 24s I am currently working on. Plus with the 3D printer, my thoughts are running wild, not with just RC stuff

I will definitely hang on to the plow set up. Next winter I might revisit it. If I do I will probably look into tracks, I do like that idea. And I would switch to a receiver that would allow me to actually really control the plow, raise and lower it. Right now it is basically just a button that just moves it full speed one way. SO I have it in the down position and hitting the button raises it. I would put it on a dial switch, like my RWS build, and make it so I have full control, putting it in a neutral position off the ground to start, then be able to go higher or lower as desired

Yeah, adding anything animated to an RC, even if just for 's and is a blast for me as well. Like 4 wheel steering, a winch, etc.

I actually want to get a large scale crawler someday and build it really heavy and put a plow on it. I just think it would be nice to have for the days they don't clear my sidewalk. I have enough trouble walking as it is

Now, if you could manage to find one of these in 24th scale, and built your truck right, with some good traction, I think this might be doable.

Such mediocre dreams... you should be building a hover chair instead!
C'mon man!

I need that in my life!

The first half of the Sludge's rebuild has been done, the truck will be finished next weekend. The Sludge hasn't been disassembled beyond repairs for over 3 years.

The truck is being downsized from "shelf art" to a dirt park rager. Plastic gearboxes, stock motor, a stock body, and so on.

That's awesome!

Yeah, it's crazy how far it will throw snow.

Got to fabrication of an aluminum wing for the Superbird. Getting closer to finishing the body.

well i took the gearbox out of the bison 6x6 to replace the spur gear. turns out spur was 100% fine.... the pinion grub screw backed out and i gave it some blue and threw it back in, shes back to pulling. good times lol.

I had a bunch of part so I'm almost done with the Bomber and another SCX10 platform crawler.

Coming out of retirement

I guess you can say that.

All finished with the Bomber except for the Anti-sway bar, it will be here tomorrow.
I put this one in the camper and leave it in there. Lots of rock at the reservoir.

I always wondered where glitter came from.

Before & after!
Reverse evolution? It may not be as pretty but it sure does drive better.

Looks the same with the body on, you made the right choice.

Were you running both rear chassis braces?
Coupler set screw came loose?
