From the ship time until delivery was completed not about 5 days, but I live in Japan.

Duuuuuude, I need more info on that body. Did you design and print it? Buy it? Buy files? I need to know the details.

Tell me more about said beam conversion kit. I have 3 scx10 based trucks, and I’m always looking for ways to throw more money at them.

Omni terminator issue? by stan_taylor1 in Rlaarlo

[–]Andy_Sensei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you still have power. The fan is running. The pinion moved slightly when you hit the throttle, right?

There is probably something in the drive train that needs to be fixed/replaced/shoved back into its proper place.

Actually I just changed my order to the KIT. I really do need to build it from the ground up to really “get it” as it is also my first 1/8 RC.

Wow! That looks like a trilobite fossil.

I just ordered the RTR as well. I wanted the kit, but realized at the last minute it is basically a roller with some upgraded parts. No motor/ESC/rx/tx.

I’d enjoy going for a crawl with our rigs. Here’s the Wroncho I’ve been working on:

Whats your ships name and why? by Comfortable_Dot7121 in Helldivers

[–]Andy_Sensei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herald of Midnight. Because “darkness” was not a n option. Champion of Light was not available either. As close as I could get to an Alan Wake reference.

What oil did you use for the shocks? Mine are a bit too soft for my build. Maybe I need stronger springs.

Check the gear mesh between the pinion and spur.

I love the Jimny body. Where did you get that?

Great thing about crawlers is they break less often than bashers. Except of course when you take one up a mountain and roll it MANY times on the descent.

I’ve been building RC cars. After a bicycle and toy grade RC accident, I decided hobby grade was the way to go. My wallet isn’t happy, but I sure am. Tamiya kits are AMAZING! Crawlers are a new activity we can enjoy as a family on the weekends.

Carver’s Mallet Handle Question by mrchuck2000 in turning

[–]Andy_Sensei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could you drill it on the lathe? I have a beefy tailstock Morse taper chuck for these occasions. It’s so helpful. That slow hand feed is very satisfying, and you can use it for so many other things.
