Kiddo complained last week that the steering of his Carnage is too slow.

Told him to showcase an exemplary attitude this week.

 

And he just earned himself a 30kg steering servo with 0.09s/60° speed at 6V.

Nice and fast.

Been adding lights to a few models. 

Hot rod had red front and rear. Going to change to purple as front red is ****.  

Monster has purple front and red rear.   Looks amazing.   Will look even better once it's a bit darker. 

Simple lights. No fancy switching or anything. Just lights. On all the time.

To give you some hints:

Come to the dinner table at the first call

Empty your plate

Eat veggies & salad

Clean up your dirty laundry and toys without reminder

Wash and put pyjama without reminder

Brush your teeth at 7:30 without reminder

Be in bed and lights off at 8:00 without reminder

Wake up at 7:00 yourself

Prepare coffee for your parents/wife

Make your own breakfast

Get dressed & brush teeth without reminder

Sit down and be ready for hair brushing (if you have long hair like my son)

Be at the door and ready to go to school (work) at 8:40

 

Are you up for that?

For my son:

Do this for for 1 week and you will receive a faster servo (or other useful upgrades)

Do it for 6 months and you will receive a Traxxas Rustler VXL 4x4

Do it for 1 year and have grades above national average and you will receive a Traxxas X-Maxx or Arrma Kraton.

 

Achieving that is a sign of maturity.

With maturity comes responsibility.

With responsibility comes the ability to handle a car like a Traxxas X-Maxx.

I kind of expected that answer.

You wrote what most probably think (myself included)... :rofl:

 

My son is the same. He takes time to think if the upgrade is worth the effort.

Is this the speech you prepared for said son.... That's said very loudly and clearly with the wife within earshot.... So when those parts come in the post.... She can't say Jack about them... 

 

You sir.... Play a good game... I respect that out the box thinking... 🤣Think About It Reaction GIF by Identity

 

And just so AJ doesn't slap my wrists for waffling off topic.... 

 

I soldered up this today.... After servicing it.. 🤔

It's printed hanging on the fridge!

I never force him to do anything. It is all optional.

He knows that I work really hard every day and I am willing to give everything and the best to him. I only expect that I receive something in return. Just like in real life: work <--> salary.

And my wife agrees and knows the prices (I think...).

Went from this,

 

A4-CF5-D4-C-6-A0-A-4-DFA-94-ED-17-B44368
 

To this,


91900732-45-D2-49-FF-867-F-53-FF827-DC77

 

Just one little niggle, why can’t the fan wires be the same length as the receiver wire? I had to put in a unsightly extension lead in, otherwise, over the moon with it.

 

today is a good Rc day, kinda silly how things like this can make such a impact to how you feel mentally....

 

can’t wait to get out and give it a proper testing.
