1. Replaced broken drive shaft on the Wraith
2. Replaced broken universal on a scx10
3. Replaced broken spur on the Outlaw
4. Removed broken servo from Rukus

This is what happens when your son takes half the fleet out with his mates.

got dad to fit lights to my grasshopper shell, just the cheapo ones but looks like the factory messed up, supposed to be 2 white ones on the front but one is blue lol

 

well the lunch box is nice and water proof now, got a small tupperware container and put my spectrum sr300 rx inside it with a wee notch for the wires then cabled tied the lid to make sure it cannot come lose and smeared vaseline about where the wires come out and round the bit where lid connects.

 

had a good try of it in the rain earlier with the cheapo 10 quid water proof servo and the 1060 esc, tried my hardest to get it as wet as possible and zero problems, now if it would just snow  :D

I'm using fusion 360, which is a bit complex but has the computer aided manufacturing built in.

I've been learning this as well, great software but when you can't find that tiny little dot which is causing a sketch to be unconstrained 😤

 

Here's a sketch of one of my bumper designs for tekno

And this is why you always prototype before breaking out the expensive filament on the printer 😖

I was really hoping to avoid modelling the gearbox...

 

 

Going to be assembling my CNC mill today!

Nothing that interesting, serviced the rear diff on my Savage XS.

Bearings were still good, ring gear and pinion looked mint, cracked open the diff, cleaned it out and inspected internals, all good in there too👍.

Put it back together and filled with 50K, thought I'd give that a go this time.

Just have to do the front diff now, when I find the time.
