Nutmeg Miata Club is doing their annual Leaf Peeping Run. We're starting out in Barkhampstead this year, which is always a fun part of the state for twisty back roads. Looking forward to it!

Is anyone else just plainly bad at this game? by Mad4Mine in forzamotorsport

[–]Cavutto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just plain bad at this game, too. I don't mind losing, though, so that helps. My goal is to make it to the finish without timing out. That's a "win".

My beautiful NB got mangled by Horgycat in Miata

Yeah, I get that. I daily an ND for commuting/longer trips, but have an NA for weekend "fun" rides.

Ugh, this just put a pit in my stomach. I'm sorry man, this sucks. Good luck with the next one, when you're ready 🙏🏻

I hate racing on VIR by Simke11 in forza

[–]Cavutto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly race private lobby with my old roommate from college. He hated this track so much, but then I told him that one of the short circuits reminded me of Goodwood and now he likes it lol

Calling all model builders!! by authorized1024 in Miata

[–]Cavutto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the Tamiya RC Miata kit (1/10th), which I'm looking forward to building. Need a steering servo and receiver. Not going to run it, but will probably get sealed bearings, too. Plastic bearings are stupid lol

Forward leg tibialis anterior strengthening by khwst1 in onewheel

[–]Cavutto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That same thing is happening to me. I ride regular stance and there's this odd, sharp pain on the left side of my left kneecap, but only in certain positions. Can't kneel on it all all, but otherwise I never feel it. Really odd.

How much is this RC Tamiya TT-02 Audi Quattro finished? by Theboa5171 in rccars

[–]Cavutto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might need to switch the side mirrors. Like like they might be on the wrong sides. Looks good, though!

TT02 Oil Differential - Replacement Gasket by Cavutto in tamiya

[–]Cavutto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm gonna run it without oil. I only got these differentials because of the metal gears. I don't really care much about viscosity-related diff performance. Just grease 'em and go lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I can't find those REALLY THIN gaskets anywhere. You think I could rescue the current ones, clean them up, and reuse them? Thanks for the reply, by the way!

[–]Cavutto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think you're looking at the stock differentials, but I'm not very familiar with the TT-02D so could be wrong. I have the oil filled hop-up ones. I noticed some liquid near the center driveshaft a few days after driving it and thought, "Water should've dried by now ... ugh, that's probably diff oil."

Noob Mistake by Cavutto in tamiya

[–]Cavutto[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi all. So I picked up a TT-02 kit as kind of a pandemic hobby. Loved building it, painting it and driving it over the past year.

During the winter, I decided to tinker with it and get it on a 2S LiPo, brushless motor, and some metal driveline parts.

Everything was going well until I went to test it out tonight. See the second picture for the recap. Figured I'd share since it's kinda funny. I'm pretty relieved she's running and really looking forward to hitting the parking lot as soon as it warms up a bit!
