  1. Suffering RC withdrawals symptoms. Rustlers's motor bust. Waiting for parts to rebuild. Haven't touched a transmitter since Easter. Work doesn't give me time to even look at the cars.

  2. Why do people have to use red threadlocker at places where it is impossible to take the screw out???? Now I have to dismantle the whole rear, cut out the axle cup, just because the previous owner had to use red instead of blue. This just makes me furious. Spent all evening to find a way to get it out.

      No worries. I will not give up. After all it's a £400 Rustler. Worst case I will go after the screw with a Dremel.

      You could take apart diff housing and then the diff, remove the diff output and replace with a new one? Saves all the farting about. 🙂

      I could. But it would mean taking apart even the inner diff gears will all the oil change etc. I think it is even more work.

       

  3. Got a £50 cheque from HSBC today. Reason: Their service is not as good as I should expect. Funny part: I was their customer in 2010 for only about 4 months... I think they should have never sent that letter. They just lost big time in their service reputation.

      That's funny, I was in Natwest today, they had a chart on the wall of all the banks and there ratings, I think the highest Natwest was was 9th, there was some obscure names on there I'd never even heard of.

      Not surprised, they are always helpful unless you want your money back for something.

  4. End of lockdown coming? Return to normality by end of June? I feel like 10° rain today, 30° sunshine coming tomorrow.

      Yep. Fingers crossed. But from what I understand the data, it's looking good and progressing well.

      On a serious note, we only know what they want us to know, I don't believe the numbers and figures they give.

      Got to say that looks like a very similar situation when I tried to order a PC monitor from them which "some how" transformed into a coffee machine 🙄

      That's a classic. :rofl:

      Best part is that I think it was a returns item that someone switched the delivery label on as the box was pretty beat up. Managed to get refund but I won't be ordering something of that value again from Amazon.

  6. Trying to glue rubber tires on alloy rims. Tire glue doesn't work well. Any ideas?

      I would. After all I buy the rims to put tires on. :-). 

      I have the feeling it is because the rims are blue anodized.

      Basically I would need a glue that is able to react with alloy and create a bond.

      Tire glue (aka superglue) surely does not react.

      Threadlocker might, but then not with rubber.

      I will try the silicone idea but sand the rims before.

      aw i get you jen with the anodized now yeah will defo need a light scuffing then as long as the bevels not on show should be find try a light sandpaper 👍 i did the same on some alloy baja wheels years ago worked well let us know how u get on jens 🙂

    4. Jens

      Jens

      I sanded the rims yesterday and tried one more last time with tire glue.

      Silicone has already arrived and will be used if that doesn't work.

  7. Having a lazy day. Listening to Slayer to clear my mind. Doing nonsense mods to my Carnage F-100 shell.

      I just called Royal Mail. According to them it has been scanned around my house. They opened an investigation. And from the neighbor I know it was Ian, our regular postie. So I presume he just made a mistake and put it in the wrong letterbox. But your DPD guy really got lost...

      i get this all the time with new posties, they always mix up walk with road. i could smack the person who named these new houses tacked onto the beginning of the "road" addresses as "walk" addresses. even with a name plate under the doorbell saying "walk" i still get people asking for "road".

    4. Jens

      Jens

      Well. It's all sorted now. Postie delivered it to the nearby clinic by accident. He came to me, apologized and will redeliver it tomorrow. Cool guy!

  9. Cleaning 2 cars and myself after a muddy walk in the Fen.

      Thank you. :-). I am not a Ford fan. Just working for them. So I don't really their models. But I know the 1:1 is very popular.
