Lots of new small whizzy spinny cutty grindy things to play with I had to give up on Dremel's and move to die grinders. I think I just expected too much from them, burnt three out, in fact burnt out a new one in a day once. Restoring cars (the real ones you sit in) they are useful for getting in places to grind weld down or cut little bits off but really it's a step too far. There have been times I wish I had one just for RC work recently though, the die grinder is a bit of animal for that kind of thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll just carry on with the occasional butchering session in the garage!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xray mark 213 Posted July 24, 2020 Postman bought me some goodies today thanks to a couple of tc members. It’s amazing how pleased I was to receive a £25 set of plastic wheels!. These are by far my favourite wheel type and look perfect on all the Avante family!. Will have another box next week with top force with Tamiya carbon chassis set and a super astute then that’s it for a while. Got to give the credit card a rest!. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
