    For me, placed a quick Cyber Monday order to my usual hobby shop followed by some house chores.  

    Was about to start my Egress black's body (going to do the body first) when my wife asked to swap battery in her car fob and got side tracked checking out my 1:1 cars while in my garage.. in addition, enjoyed some coffee time with my wife afterwards so finally going to start later this am after some WFH.  :D 

    Couple of folks seem to have taken interest in my Willy's pretend RC shop accessories on Instagram so I posted up my trash can build from earlier this year using a plastic Easter Egg including a photo of my 1:1 trash can I used as model.  

    Update.. started the cutting process.. got the body and wing cut out, will cut the tray, then spend a few hours shaping it to what I call perfection.. which could also mean crap.  :lol:...  :ph34r:  wish me hope..

    I just finished building mine, was a nice build as usual, the only problem I had was with the under tray the front pre drilled holes are a bit lower than the original Egress under tray holes, it end up leaving a space between the under tray and the chassis, ill try and get a photo of it tonight.

  2. got around to putting the decals on my Tamiya Legends Porsche 911 tribute ( cough Copy ) turned out really nice, I am also going to try and do a replica 959 on a TA05 M-Four kit. hopefully that works out as its almost impossible to get a 959 for a reasonable price and shape

    It's good you're taking time to ask questions.👍

    I've 20+ lipos , always storage charge after use (after letting it cool down, if ive been hammering it with a low turn motor), and I normally check mine every 6 months ,ish , by just plugging them into the charger and do a storage charge, normally a couple of seconds and the charger comes up, DONE. (Or whatever your charger does when it's finished)

    If you have a digest through this page, I think you'll know more than most.

    the one bit of information that I struggle to find is what amperage should we discharge them at to go into storage mode, set at the lowest rating a 5000mah battery can take 18 hours to discharge to storage( from full charge ) I am using an Ultra Power UP6+ and an ISDT Q6 pro with an independent power supply. any advise appreciated.

    Got these trial car stands from @yogi-bear , infilled the etching and assembled them (they come in kit form 👍) without an issue, got to stick on the non slip pads and start trying cars on them, but so far these are top notch

    These will be fine tuned by Yogi, then I believe they will be available for purchase, my issue is I’ll need quite a large number of them 😂😂

    Whats the damage for 1, I need about 40 for my display case, Tamiya, team associated, Yokomo, Schumacher etc. at least he is locally based to me

    The prebuilt shocks on the Outlaw were leaking so badly out of the box that the front suspension lower arm had filled up with oil. The plastic damper body on these was very soft and twists / deforms when tightening the top cap. Which is a shame as the rest of the truck is epic.

    The red dampers on my Javelin leak too and this has only sat on a shelf. I found the very thin plastic gasket almost impossible to fit without crinkling or tearing (fortunately there are spares) but the leak seems to be around the piston area so I can only assume the designed tolerances for the piston to the o-rings is too loose? Havent had this problem on CVAs or Hicaps on the Egress.

    Over christmas I might rebuild them with sone Tamiya red silicone o rings and see if this helps.

     

    I ended up using red rings, green slim and a small amount of plumbers tape around the threads of on the bottom cap, along with the plastic gasket. no problems so far but I have only driven it up and down the road, id say it would be different after going over a few jumps and crashes.
