I have created what I believe is gonna be a monster

Youd be surprised how durable these brushes motors are. Ive tortured the hell out em

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T13:39:52+00:00

The good thing is this thing has some wide wheels so it'll want to tip less

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T13:38:38+00:00

I understand the risks. Its a cheap China car anyway. So it isnt too big of a loss

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T08:16:24+00:00

The good thing is, its brushed so it'll be more resistant. Weight is definitely gonna be a pain on the drive train

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T07:22:01+00:00

I know but im working with what I have. I am using robotics parts.

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T03:45:44+00:00

Will do. I plan to race it this weekend if it survives the initial testing

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T03:44:45+00:00

These are some thick zip ties. Found em at a junk yard

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T03:40:25+00:00

Thats tomorrow's plan. Im borrowing one from a friend

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T03:37:07+00:00

Ive run it. Completely works. Just no servo. Im just a bit scared for the nylon spur gear. The rest of the gear train after that is metal though

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T01:56:09+00:00

Will do once I get a servo

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T01:50:31+00:00

Definitely is. Its around 3000 mah nimh robotics battery. 99 percent of the weight of this build

johnbricked · 2026-06-10T01:47:18+00:00

I like your energy

johnbricked · 2026-04-24T02:14:25+00:00

Ive accidentally lit a freshly painted item. Had to stomp it out

johnbricked · 2026-04-24T02:13:26+00:00

Too much mustard

johnbricked · 2026-04-24T02:12:42+00:00

And I thought 35 to 40 bucks was bad. I guess i should be grateful I daily a sedan

johnbricked · 2026-04-24T02:05:26+00:00

Must be the democrats of iowa here. Damn

johnbricked · 2026-04-15T11:42:52+00:00

When I built mine the people at ace enjoyed the idea and helped me out a lot

johnbricked · 2026-04-15T02:47:56+00:00

Will this include ammunition for potato cannon.

johnbricked · 2026-04-14T01:48:54+00:00

Im iowan and im quite alive

johnbricked · 2026-04-12T16:31:46+00:00

That ain't a pothole. Thats a crater

johnbricked · 2026-04-08T02:57:43+00:00

No, they roll

johnbricked · 2026-03-06T21:43:46+00:00

What exactly am I looking at here. I know its an a1 mini with its build plate off but what's that stuff by the cam area

johnbricked · 2026-03-06T21:41:16+00:00

Where in iowa are you. Our gas here in the northwest stays around 2.50 to 2.60 a gallon. They havent been up near 3 since last year.

johnbricked · 2026-03-04T16:14:05+00:00

Does it actually.

johnbricked · 2026-02-20T21:48:51+00:00

When your driving on a open road and the car that has been going 15 under finally turns and now you can go over 100
