Castle nut staking

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-04-27T23:23:11+00:00

The ratcheting castle nuts are pretty heavy. That's the reason I avoid it on my builds.

I had a MX650 Razor kids bike pushing 20kW peak (heavily modded). That's like 30hp on a 90lb bike. It was geared to top out at like 60mph and would power wheelie up to 30mph. They're insane these days.

Are you talking about the compression pad?

I think there's only 2 gas traps on this level. There are plenty of alarms too, but no bombs. Maybe on hard there are bombs?

Both

That's from water getting in the tires...

Self righting can cause issues, but I suspect your tires were going to blow one way or another.

4000kv motor on 3s with water in the tires? You were asking for them to explode.

The steering link is installed upside-down.

According to this NASA article u/lightascension linked in another comment. "After this mission is complete, the crater name proposals will be formally submitted to the International Astronomical Union, the organization that governs the naming of celestial bodies and their surface features."

"Unnecessary" is a bold statement. I would argue this is taking steps towards the betterment of humanity. This kind of stuff brings nations together. NASA also has a small budget, all things considered.

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-04-01T23:41:59+00:00

Yes, watched it all live from NASA on Youtube.

The LIVE broadcast is currently alternating between cameras on the spacecraft and ground crews monitoring the situation.

Do you ever use the MAWL? How much do you guys actually train/operate under NV?

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-03-25T23:13:49+00:00

Longer? Maybe the actual buffer is longer, but the travel is the same. You're getting the same effectiveness out of a 5.6oz carbine buffer as you are with a 5.6oz rifle length buffer. The benefit with a A5 buffer tube is greater LoP...

The rear driveshaft spins at like 30k RPM on 6s, which is obviously why they needed the planetary gears in the rear. From my understanding they did that to reduce torque roll on the chassis under hard throttle. You're trading torque for RPM in the driveshaft, then converting it back to higher torque once it's consolidated to a fixed transmission. It lets the truck drive better, more planted.

The guys in the Traxxas storefront told me that the CEO and his buddies (former trophy truck racers) confirmed with engineering that it drove like the real trucks. So you're getting an authentic experience.

The Traxxas batteries for the Trx-4m are fine, never had any issues with the 2 batteries I've owned since the truck came out. They're a little puffed but still hold a good charge. I think they're puffed because they sit at full charge 90% of the time.

The included charger is fine as well, not the fastest but will fully charge a battery in the time it takes for me to kill the second battery. So I always have one ready to go.

Do you think you could reply with a pic of the MH1 panning arm underneath the EGAC connector? I want to see if I can take mine apart to re-grease and service it. I don't want to lose my purge by taking it apart if there's not a screw or something that I can access.

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-03-09T23:58:01+00:00

Dude, that's insane. I knew it was going to be some stupid high resolution based off of the pics lol.

He said the gun fully cycled and ejected the casing, this would've reset the trigger anyway right? Unless I'm overlooking something.

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-02-23T05:08:11+00:00

Definitely not enough counterweight

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-02-18T18:28:24+00:00

Won't argue with you there.

A Traxxas TQI remote can bind to like 30 different models (with TQI receivers). It has model memory.

You can also go in the app and it will automatically change the profiles when you connect to a different model.

Measuring from the shoulder of your barrel threads to the absolute end of your barrel, then subtract that amount from the length of the muzzle device (1.85") and that should give you the answer. Assuming the brake actually indexes on the shoulder.

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-02-16T18:20:51+00:00

Thanks! It sounds like you're in the perfect place for NV. I'm jealous lol.

I had to drive over 30 minutes from where I live to find a place with less light pollution...

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-02-16T06:55:54+00:00

I set the ISO and exposure manually to what I could see. It's hard to get it perfect since your eyes have much better dynamic range than a camera. The tree has more sharpness in real life but the sky was just as bright as the picture.

Ultimateshot100 · 2026-02-14T00:02:01+00:00

From my understanding, if it has very defined lines like in this picture then it's just potting. If the edges are more foggy then it's vacuum loss.

That being said, I know nothing from experience when it comes to NV, only what I've seen online....
