Great day crawling with the London Scale Trail Runners. My first friendly competition, was a lot of fun, and I learnt a lot.

Was yesterday but I converted it from a broken dirty RC to a clean bag of screws and box of parts. Should start the rebuild this week.

Unfortunately a few screws have stripped, so the steering posts and servo mount are currently stuck.

Going to try a tripped screw remover bit first, but it that's not successful I may have to dremel them out or just order some new bits :(1026435bcee1b49a47c5b213947be254.jpgc92dd2ffb684850155251866d83c9fdd.jpg

yesterday I started to convert my konghead that I build as a crawler trail truck, back to  the stock monster truck  car and going to use it as a basher car.

 I changed the gears to sqaure high speed gears and put in a castle 1410 3800kv motor.

 

Today I put back the shocks and shock tower and the bumper and changed the springs to the stock ones, the only thing to do now is gleu the tires on the wheels and instal the esc and reciever

I hate that when it happened, I had my share of stripped screws when I used to much treadlock and then I have to drill all the screws out.

I think that is the situation :(

They're 12.9s as well so I must have gone way overboard.

I have already done this and it didn't help :(

Will be heating it again when I use the screw extractor thing

Damn. Are you using a decent hex driver as well?

I decided since theirs no RC rock lights I am happy with that are available to me in the UK and some systems are very expensive, I would make my own.

A single LED from a strip that is designed to backlight a TV and a couple of wires.

I did a single LED just to test it, but with 3 in the front fenders and hopefully 5 in the rear, this should be a very bright system for less than the $45-70 people charge in the states, or the mediocre weak set ups from RC companies.

Pretty happy with this, considering I don't normally enjoy soldering!
