So, What Have You Done Today?

[Percymon]

Collected CR-01 kit this morning, sold TA02T truck tonight

keeps the model tally static

[Vrdetailing]

Carried on building the blitzer and enjoying looking at the toys

[Grumpy pants]

I'm stripping down my Holiday a Buggy to prep it for the DT02 event.

I've dyed the wheels black tonight and ordered a shock brace.

[Percymon]

Added some stealth body mounts to the M-03 project, slapped on the body and took a few pics..

[Cplus]

I shortened my servo wires and redid my race car ESC wiring - what a fiddly little job the former one is!

[Grumpy pants]

Well I'm finally happy with my L.B gearbox at long last.

So my plan is too finish putting my S.S back together and my H.B.

[SteveU30]

Took my Clod for a run at the park and did a bit more of the wiring install on my FAV.

[Prowler]

After my work i put on the stickers on my new Holiday buggy and my girlfriend was painting the driver figure and other parts of the buggy.

I am not so good at painting

Now its time for a beer

[Percymon]

Today i did this,,,

[Grumpy pants]

I've zipped my H.B back together and I gave it a test drive.

I've kept it simple for ease and costs, so black dyed wheels and white lettering, bearings throughout, shock brace, Tam 101 ESC, a 540 on a 19T and 27MHZ set I had spare.

If I like it and it turns out to be a keeper I'll then upgrade the shocks, motor and electrics in time.

Ebay Bearhawk, always wanted one as a kid, no idea why

Anyways, the shell is pretty poor but other than that its all there and although it needs a clean, its good. The gearbox in particular is in good condition.

So went from the top pic, to a stripped bottom pic

Today I ordered a new shell for my Manta Ray. Need to make a final decision regarding colour scheme soon!

[waterbok]

Gunmetal.

Today, my son ran his Lunchbox into a concrete slab.

Exteriorly, everything looked ok.

Upon reversing, there was no steering.

On examination, the servo saver did its job - saved the servo & sacrificed itself - snapped off.

This is the first servo saver ever to break in my 20 years in this hobby

While dragging the handicapped Lunchbox over the undulating off road track, I noticed the rear suspension having superb articulation just like a crawler.

Closer inspection revealed that one of the arms of the nice V-spring at the right axle having snapped off.

I thought people usually just lose them.

Today, I purchased some supplies at my new local hobby shop:

Within this stock are supplies for a new project and some paints for the Audi Quattro B-parts that will be landing in the next week or so.

With a panel line pen acquired in the same trip, I also gave my Lancia some new detail:

The previous day, I was waiting at one of the local parks to meet up with my girlfriend, and so whipped out my conveniently-placed Striker to give it a run (I just 'happened' to have it in my bag):

As it followed an earlier session with my Audi Quattro, the Striker felt like a razor!

[Nump.T]

Today I spent over two hours trying to find a drive pin which got lost in the carpet (Pesky things). To make things worse my wife came in to see what I was doing and found it straight away .

Time for a beer!

[mike_o]

Bashed a couple of Grasshoppers on the beach with the boys...

[ddaenen1]

Finished painting the Frog driver body

[Percymon]

Did a bit more prep before my CR-01 build

I've spent way too much time doing this. Get yourself some neo magnets, it's makes finding dropped metal bits sooo much easier. Of if you happen to knock a pot of screws or whatnot over, it's much easier to pick up when they're all stuck to the magnet.

[XV Pilot]

Ordered the paint for my Manta Ray. Went for gunmetal.

[Cplus]

Today I changed my diff oil

Not quite finished yet

[danb1974]

I think I went a little too far with the electronics The big thing that should not be placed next to the motor is the external bec.

On the bright side, there will never ever be a voltage sag, no matter what servo I use.

After beginning a new project, I had the idea of fitting a re-release Lancia 037 front bumper on my Lancia Rally.

My Team CRP configuration, which borrowed an imperfectly-fitting aluminum brace from an F103, proved to be damaging the bodyshell, so I figured that a bumper designed for an 037 could work better. I had one sitting around for whatever reason...

Without using it yet, I think it will work quite well:

Some people find the 'snow-plow' bumper ugly, but I think it is quite suitable for its purpose here. I used screws and washers from my parts car and my stock of F103 spares.

I also retouched chipped black paint on the shell in the wheel arches and the interior. It is currently separated from the chassis for drying.

Finally got some primer on my repaired Super Champ shell.
