@speedy_w_beans - great video! Not very realistic though? Where are the shots of searching for dropped grub screws and the self stabbings with the screwdriver?

I was surprised as well that the time lapse photography hid some of the challenges of the build. Spots that were a little fiddly:

- The brushless motor had to be pulled from the gearbox and rotated so the wiring would clear the body.

- Power switch on the ESC needed to be reamed a little before the small screws would fit in the holes. I also went on the hunt for a rubber switch cover not in the kit to protect the switch at the beach better.

- Routing and cleanly securing the wiring to the chassis took some time.

- I adjusted the steering rods quite a bit trying to dial out the default toe in.

- The small nuts used in all the wheels were difficult to handle. Eventually at the last wheel I got smart and used a thin probe to hold and insert the nuts; that wheel went the fastest of the four.

- In between all that I had three phone calls too.

To get the shot I hung my GoPro from the dining table light, and kept it powered with an AC adapter the whole time...

My choice for today is from the axe master himself - Bill Nelson - here with the gentleman rocketeers set - the man still has it in bucket loads - check out the solo at around 2:00 - I defy your hairs not to stand up on the back of your neck . I've played this CD to death in my car !!

The only Hit that N-Trance had here was a Bee Gees cover. It's been how long, 20 years? Time sure flies!!

Anyway, now that you guys are talking about Club music, I have this song. It was recorded at a Club in Midwest about five or seven years ago. I don't know the name of the band or the song either. If you can help me guess it then that would be awesome as I0've been trying to know that forever.
