It got my vote, and not because your my brother. Its because when you watch it run and hear it, your thinking, "what the fxck just happened!" And your heart is beating hard for 20 more minutes.

Waiting to see if the cops show up is the funnest part.

Kedal's paint schemes are my favourites. This month's entry is no exception. The $30 per run thread is priceless exciting entertainment. Good to know that you get 20 minutes enjoyment for this value, not only 1,xx seconds. I feel it's comparable to Scotch drinking :lol: But have I mentioned yet that...

We had about .5 inches of ice and snow last Sunday. Put about 60K people without power. Ours just came back yesterday. Just snow today. At least it's pretty to look at out the kitchen window.

It's unfortunately bad for many in the northern part of LA where as the majority of the rest of the city is kinda in the clear for now. I'm about 7 miles from the nearest fire to me.

Rather than calling this an underguard, I should call this a rigidifier. 3mm Kydex sheet, laser cut. I made a projection of the front on the plan, and added 1mm in length at the front extended all holes by 1mm to the front, to take provision for the bent. To bent it : - a piece of wood on the rear/l...

Polished the rear suspension arm pivot balls and made carbon fibre reinforcing plates for the arms. Machined double wheel bearing adaptors for the rear. Each housing is 10mm wide, so they fit two 5x10x4mm bearings. I'm using Kyosho OT-18 stub axles instead of the stock items. 1.jpg This is so I can ...

Unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating here..ice melted but 20mph winds and cold....that's just too windy to run it..I will postpone the launch until a nicer day
