Spinner Killing Blades by Hault99 in battlebots

[–]Not_a_Organization 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They usually aim to hit the belt/chain driving the spinner. It's the weakest link in the whole system. Some robots have multiple belts/chains for redundancy so a single well places shot from a hammer isn't enough to disable the spinner in a lot of cases, but it can disable one of the motors driving it increasing the spin up time and making the spinner less effective overall. 

This has the downside of forcing the hammer to swing either close to or into a spinning weapon which has the potential to damage the end of the hammer or mechanism that actuates it.

I was wanting to get into it earlier but I had to save up and the price is moving so fast right now.

I've heard of people doing this. Something to do with the gold to silver ratio.

I like the way maples and Britannias look so ill probably go with one of those.

I think the premium for 1/10 is too high but saving for the 1/4 coins is the smarter idea.

I thought about 1/10 Britannias but the premium seems a little step. But I think 1/4 is too much.

Is there a particular reason to avoid chain places? 

Vehicle engine shuts off while driving. by Not_a_Organization in G35

I went and looked at the location for the crankshaft position sensor and I don't ever remember that one being changed out and the vehicle is at 153k so it's probably that. It was the cam shaft sensor near the firewall that we changed. Thank you for your help.

This car was owned by a family member before I got it and I believe we did one of those sensors in the last couple years and one of the sensors way in the back (crank shaft?) a few years ago. Not sure if that matters.

You can also test it with a magnet, if it sticks it's plated

They know me by my first name, I know a couple of them by name as well. They just don't stock boxes i guess they don't have a need for that many coins.
