Hobao Hyper Tt2.0 from modelsport.

Sky RC do a good range

It looks like they fit over the standard drive shafts so should be fine and the Maxx wheels have a little washer you pop out so you can fit 17mm hubs no need for new wheels 🙂. You making it a wide wide Maxx ? 😃

Pretty damned scary I would imagine! 😅 The balls on them. 🤯 Worker at 850 feet: "alright mate, fancy a sarnie?" Me at 850 feet: "I say old chap, I've come over all giddy - I hope you don't mind if I skip lunch and just cling on for dear life?" Apparently the photos were taken as part of a publicity 'stunt', promoting a new building. However, that doesn't make the photo any less real. No Photoshop back then or green screen. The 'stunt' was literally lunch, on a beam at 850 feet. 🤯 Allegedly, there were a number of photographers present, too - thus why Ebbets got snapped taking his shot. Basically - they were all totally bonkers by today's standards. JFDI mentality. 'Just F****** Do It'.

The size of the rivets on the RSJ in the first picture. I can't imagine how scary it would be to punch them in at that height. @horatio nice post mate

A rare glimpse of the photographer, Charles C. Ebbets, casually squatting on a steel girder at 850 feet in the air. He is believed to be the person that took this: Fun fact: the original negative for this shot, despite being a piece of American history, is now owned and archived by Visual China Group.

we went to parkley earlier and had loads of bites, a dang rainbow trout came near the surface and went for a wriggler lure, i seen it but it came out of know where but it never connected 😞 dad caught one though on the float, and he got to try out his light up float in the dark 🙂

Have a browse on Modelsport for JConcepts Rubber Parts Tray. Not cheap but really handy and easy to clean

Updated the drive cups ( think that is what they are called ) in the Syncro 4, the original ones are worn out after a summer of abuse plus the drive shafts pins are like sharks teeth so swapped them as well 🙂 Now it doesn't sound like a bag of spanners rattling about when it's ripping around 😆

Stripped and cleaned the diff ready for repair when the gear set arrives.

Yeah will keep you all updated.Already fitted a scorched Rc aluminium swing arm. Yes my own lipo’s fit they slide under the rear arch ( under the rear seat area )

Hobao MT tickles my pickle, I have to say..

Calpis, gorilla mounts and wire sleeving. I approve.

Hello mate, welcome to the forum Yes mate, looks cool 👍 Interesting beverage too

yay new reel came and seems the perfect size for the new rod 🙂

As promised (then forgotten 😞 ) Here are my Guns 🙂 The real wood handles on both are hand made by a guy in Poland I used to know. He hasn't been active since the war in Ukraine though 😞
