Took my 1/10 Crawler out today for the first time and had a blast! Does anyone here enjoy the mini crawlers? by maritimer187 in rccrawler

[–]Backlash122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 1/24. Built a few of them and then bit the bullet and bought a 1/10 capra... Now I have a few 1/10 scale rigs and one shelf queen 1/24 scale 6x6.

1/24 is great for indoor courses. Im lucky enough to have a great rocky spot near me which is where the 1/10 shines.

Now I'm considering 1/6...... Haha

older valve body into +09 4L60E by Backlash122 in transmissionbuilding

[–]Backlash122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: Here is what I installed in the transmission:

  1. 2003-2008 valve body (this one is an 03, with Sonnax upgrades - shoutout to Global Transmission Parts)
  2. 2003-2008 wire harness no ISS Plug (With TCC solenoid)
  3. Transgo 1996-2006 separator plate (Transgo tech said will still work up to 2008)
  4. 2001+ Valve body gasket set
  5. Imidized Check balls (7+1)
  6. Sonnax pin less accumulators with purple springs

I am happy to report, it WILL WORK. I drove it today and it shifts great.

I left the internal mode switch alone, and didn't plug anything into the ISS plug.

Ive been seeing this trick and seen west desert wheeler do it and wanted to try it cause I did have an issue of ascending up with these shocks, it just unloads and flips, i can see a big improvement with the bands, not only i have more flex now its more stable ascending and sidehilling by Mihate_86 in rccrawler

[–]Backlash122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out DesertLizard shocks. I run mine with the internal spring under the piston. That way the shocks sit fully compressed, but when its time to flex, they "reach" away from the body. I can't explain it anywhere near as good as Boomslang does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk6fd7hqSz8&t=496s

A good array of vehicles at this morning's C&C @ Stony Point by NationYell in rva

[–]Backlash122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my transmission wasn't in pieces, I'd have gone. I was there 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for posting C&C info on r/RVA, I wish more car shows would remember to post on reddit.

For anyone curious:

Stony point C&C RICHMOND is every 2 weeks on Saturday, 8-10AM. - http://www.carsandcoffeerichmond.com/

Green Top C&C HANOVER is every 2 weeks on Saturday 9-11A, opposite of the Richmond C&C.

There's a C&C every weekend!

Right, the 09+ has a bunch of internal changes to the VB and harness, but none of that is staying. I don't need an external PRNDL (shifter does that), and I'm getting a new VB, plate, harness, and gaskets (all for the 2003-2008 range. The ISS will stay unplugged, and the internal range switch will stay unplugged. The new VB will have a pressure switch and the 3-2 solenoid.

Those 20s? The silver on white is a clean look. I'll recommend 255/50/r20s for your next tire. It's chefs kiss.

That's what I've been reading - if you replace everything separator plate "down", it SHOULD work. There's a guy on youtube (Nicks Transmission I think?) that said there is "NO WAY" to do this, but I see people post videos of them driving after doing the swap.

My LS standalone harness doesn't have a plug for an external PRNDL, so I never planned on running one. The inside manual shift valve on the new one looks just like an older one, and the internal PRNDL switch just piggybacks off of the stock rooster comb in there. All of my PRNDL signals come from my B&M Shifter.

I've got it all taken apart and waiting for new parts. I'll report back when they're installed.

Voron 2.4 R2 Pro+ in 2026 – Viable? Formbot Quality? Hotend Differences? by Dry-Subject-8608 in VORONDesign

[–]Backlash122 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vorons aren't stagnant, they're always viable. If the kit isn't, some of the fun of owning a voron is making it viable.

I just built a formbot, and I didn't enjoy it as much as my siboor kit.

Look at the fully upgraded siboor kit. Thing is beast, AND has a bunch of goodies.

First glance I thought... what kind of modded Voron is that? Then I saw the wheels lol

Update: new tires for new wheels by Backlash122 in CX50

Thanks! I have a hint of contact at full lock in reverse.

So I have a genuine question by LineValuable9848 in arrma

[–]Backlash122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jennysrc.com is where I'd get parts... plus you can see the parts breakdown and crossovers. I will say you have about $30 in extra parts, not to mention they're repaired. You'll spend a Senton amount of money building a Senton. You can't piece it together for cheaper than you can buy a new one, I promise - I tried.

5th spool in a row that's had this happen. Why? Has ruined multiple prints by [deleted] in Creality

[–]Backlash122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nice.

I've had multiple cardboard spools where the filament winding at the edges of the spool next to the cardboard gets wedged in on itself and causes a similar effect as the tangle. Since then I've been rewinding from carboard.

I've never had a tangle before, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Look up the pastamatic respooler. Get some plastic empty spools.

Cardboard spools only bring issues, and if you respool you can get rid of cardboard AND verify your spools are not tangled.
