What did you do to your model today?

Was actually yesterday but... raced the 8T at mmrx, won all my heats bar one where I finished second, qualified 2nd for the B final and finished 3rd after a poor start, bumped up to A final starting 13th and finished 9th, not too shabby to say it was my first proper race (first race engine was half dead so only managed a couple of heats) and that was out of 39 nitro drivers :)

Unbodged the baja dog bone pin bodge and did my best to repair the triple A racing wing. Won't be buying another of those, plastic welded seams for strength, my backside  :angrymad:

 

Still working on the A pillars on the Holiday Buggy...a solution will be found!

Hasnt been off of the shelf for yonks so it was nice to blow the dust off it. Forgot how bloody twitchy and loose the steering can be on a Bull though.

Yeah I know what you mean. I hit a metal bench once with it during a high speed run. The bang it made i thought it was gonna be split in two but no, just flipped it back on its wheels and off it went. :)

Started work on some form of light pod for the rears on the Goat body for the Maxx.

I'm trying inserting the LED's into a block of transparent perspex, to attach behind the 'red clear' painted rear lights.

Should work, but I'll only see how effective it is once the LED kit comes.

glued up the pusher/tug boat hull with 2mm balsa sheet.

ripped out two stuffing tubes and shafted props from a kiidies toy boat ( later to be converted to huge brushless/ .90 nitro )

 

left the lid of the glue and found that it gets a weird like skin on the top thats makes you wonder what

if you poke your finger onto it , what happens, then you find out and grab the nearest thing to wipe

fingers on, Namely that nice boat hull you just sanded LOL !!!! 

 

yep fun and games in the cowboys mancave
