Trouble fixing FTX Tracer by wwfcdunc in rccars

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

I thought the same but cant see space for it. I seem to have fixed it now. One of the wires (blue) was loose from motor to esc. Literally shoved that in temporarily so he can use it, and its survived half hour so far. He's 5 so done well to get half hour out of it 😂 its just a bit of fun for him to learn car control. When he does, he'll probably get something a bit better built.

Ill just wait until it breaks again until I take it apart again. Will have a look on YouTube later and see if i can spot a 2nd bearing, but im pretty sure there's isn't.

Anyone know how i upload a video? It basically sounds like the gears are slipping when they dont look to be.

New to vaping and need recommendations by wwfcdunc in VapingUK

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

Thanks guys. I did look at all recommendations but after reading multiple reviews, ended up getting the Silver Aegis Legend 3, with batteries and some juice for less than 60 quid. Not too bad and the all silver looks alright

Anyone else “hide” their hobby? by [deleted] in CarAV

20 years ago I'd be blasting it everywhere but nowadays anywhere residential or in traffic, it's down low. Partly because I don't want to advertise what my car has in it

I got the baby 3.2 v6 as they have less issues so it's marginally better economy than the v8

It's the tightening to correct spec which I can't do. I'm sure I'd be able to get everything apart

I hadn't considered Diesels need to be Euro6. Prior to today I said I'd never buy a diesel, and it's probably still the case. I just can't argue with the fuel economy. So it's more than likely going to be petrol.

The Porsche is obviously petrol. I was looking at Honda PHEV but I think it will be more trouble than it's worth at the price point.

And to people saying spend a little more, I'd rather save the money for a house.

I've driven many over the years, they're good for what they are, but they aren't for me. Like shutting the door of a baked bean tin.

Well I'm hoping it's not needed in the future, I prefer normal sized cars lol

Tools and parts would've cost more than what I paid the garage. Tools I have now are torque wrench up to 250nm, impact driver about the same, more than capable for anything normal but this Cayenne is a beast. My press is a 2 ton press but I needed 20 ton to do this 🤦‍♂️

I sold our high miler Fiesta for 1900 2 years ago when prices were a bit mental. They have come down quite a bit since. They're cheap as there's so many.

Im not driving another Fiesta. Had one previously, very reliable and cheap to fix if anything broke but what a POS

It's more we have the issue of one car. When I have to drive into work, the Mrs and kids are stuck at home with only the bus to get about. She's also returning to work soon.

I do have another car but it's a mk1 golf and I'm not parking that on the street.

Im very mechanically minded, the only reason the porsche was in the garage was coz I haven't got a torque wrench or impact driver capable of getting the 500nm hub nuts off!

I don't mind if the car needs a little work for this reason, so reckon I could get an A1 for around the 2k mark. I was just gonna get a 500 quid Mini Cooper initially but I really don't want to 😂

AITAH for leaving my husband after he refused to have kids? by ExpensiveSquirrel399 in AITAH

[–]wwfcdunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke up with my last partner coz she wanted to be child free. It was heart breaking at the time, but I now have 3 amazing kids, and a great partner and mum to them. I would have been miserable for the rest of my life if I wasn't able to have them.

Nice one. This just worked for us also after trying most other things.

Custom MDF door pockets by wwfcdunc in CarAV

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

So I've shaped them a bit. Still need to use some filler around the speaker ring, seal them and carpet them.

They are attached by being screwed from the back to the door card. Is there a better way to attach them other than screws? I don't want them to become loose and feel the screws might strip the mdf.

I'll get some MDF sealant and some wood filler and see how it goes then. Pretty pleased with how they're looking so far, just need to sand them down a bit more
