So, What Have You Done Today?

[Smidsy]

Bought another Terra Scorcher. That's 2 originals and a re release now. 

[Seacow]

Drove this bad boy up a tree!  

[TheMidnight Pumpkin]

Spent more money! - diff putty, 2 bearing sets, 2 metal gear servos, 2 pistol grip radios, and a Wild Willy 2, all ordered/paid for.

edit - I forgot I also got a shelf queen gen 1 Traxxas Rustler with the "arc welder" speed control

[bugged]

Dragged this out of storage today, Volkswagen Beetle M02l 57813 Missing a few little parts ! I shall be putting a post in the Trades,Sales & Wanted Thread

 

[RCMonkee]

Finishing my 2nd Sand Scorcher shell. Also repaired a couple lipo's with dead cells.

[Ferruz]

Got the Manta Ray out at dusk for her first springtime run after the snow.

Had fun, ran a couple packs, obliterated the camera 

[rwordenjr]

Received the SHS!

[ThunderDragonCy]

Finished off a project on the CAD I've been meaning to sort for ages. The Kyosho gear diff in my modifed TRF201 transmission has become terminally leaky, so I finished off measuring it up whilst it was out of the RR03-Ra and grafted it onto my TA06 gear diff sized casing. Gonna leave it to sit for a couple of days in case I remember I've done something stupid, then get some off Shapeways. If it works I'll pop it up on the store. I think there's quite a few people out there with DN01s and TRF201X rear motor buggies who might like a reliable gear diff instead of the ball diff, or bodging it with a dremmel to fit the KYosho diff like I did.

Soldered up my esc and holmes 16t motors for my clod black build. 

[howaboutme]

Posted that I received the last of the parts for some TT-02 wrenching a few days ago in the post thread:

Today, did the first few steps:

- Blue prop shaft and cups

- High speed gear set with 72T 48P spur (for now, also have 78T)

- Removed silver can motor 

- Put it back together

- Removed stock ESC

Next steps:

- Install 13.5T brushless motor and ESC

- Pinion TBD. I have 32T, 35T, 38T to work with

- Shocks upgrade

Put a bit of red paint on my all-terrain postal delivery vehicle:

 

 

This of course revealed several little imperfections that weren't evident in primer, so more sanding and painting to follow...

[Ferruz]

"Anytime, Baby!"

 

It was a good -though way too cold- Saturday afternoon, spent in the woods with the Hornet and a book. Three battery packs and a couple hours of trouble free operation despite branches, rocks and many jumps at full speed, always a bonus when nothing's broken after the fun!

[Krustybus]

Fitted a motor upgrade. Should finish off the decals too but tearing up the garden is more fun!

Until the pinion came off...oops🤦🏻‍♂️

Soon fixed though 👍

[Nobbi1977]

Ran the comical Grasshopper for the first time. 17.5t seems about right, still enough to flip it with to much throttle. Eat it’s servo so now a total strip down to get a new one in

[moffman]

Finished (well almost got the driver drying) my terra scorcher decided to fit a yokomo pro stock 2 just to give it a little bit more punch! very enjoyable no issues although when I was building it the gearboxes felt very notchy and even when built to the extent I stripped them apart again? I couldn't see anything wrong but it all soon meshed together after I put a battery through it!

[Bwaaatch]

Planning this for about a year, but finally did most of the work this weekend.

Lots more pics in showrooms

 

[c64orinoco]

Nearly finished the Comical Hornet & Frog build with my wife. Next week we start masking and painting.

[Hobgoblin]

I have finished up a holder to fit TBLE-02 inside servo mounts. Mostly for mounting where a MSC would be on things like the blitzers
Download link is in my thread on TC designs!

For almost as long as there has been a rural postal service, there has been a need for vehicles that can deliver mail to hard-to-reach places.

There is this one, which I gather was used for postal deliveries in Montana:

Even Postman Pat has had to venture off road at times:

So I have decided that my odd-looking G6-01 shell is going to be a mail truck - a decision made somewhat easier since I already have some nice red paint. Now to source some Royal Mail stickers for it!

I love these 2!!!!

[mman2005]

Painted a driver for my TD runner

 

[Mrowka]

Took the Javelin to a nearby baseball diamond for another run, this time with the kids in tow.

Cleaned said Javelin after we had our fun while my little man played with his RC28.

[Badcrumble]

Found a bag of tiny Tamiya locknuts in a bag of miscellaneous carp I was sorting through. I think they were the ones I bought a couple of years ago to finish off my modded Hornet front suspension. Happy Days!

[Rb4276]

Painted my black clod today. Tamiya metallic black. Came out pretty good

Too late for the competition. That gorgeous picture deserves a new kit indeed!

[Ferruz]

@mongoose1983 thank you! I may still use it for a future competition
