Re: So, what did you do RC today?

Does hiding away playing R/C Pro Am while your wife cleans count as doing something r/c?? Wait, you get to sit on your ass while the wife cleans? How do you get that to fly??? Or do you reap the consequences afterwards as I would :lol: He doesn't get any tude believe it or not, but the house isn't ...

Re: Acetone/adhesive remover on polycarbonate is a no no

The 'after' has a vintage RC look to it. Good recovery.

Re: Acetone/adhesive remover on polycarbonate is a no no

Oh yeah goof off is some nasty stuff. I only use it when going nuclear on something. I'm actually surprised to see it didn't melt that body right through the work table and halfway to Alex 😂

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

I was actually thinking about another run of those with the stealth trans being back now. They would be changed up from originals of course though.

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

I'm gonna break the rules and post a picture that I've never actually taken. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :oops: This image is from Google maps. This "T" shaped bridge is the exact spot where the Enola Gay dropped "Little Boy" on August 6th, 1945. hiroshima.jpg That domed struc...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

Another RT1408 and Speed Gem Pro Chrominum with a sweet solder job. If I'd ever had a Speed Gems Pro Chromium back in the day, then I'd have to wonder how you got that motor from my collection. I used to do a lot of sweet solder jobs like that. :lol: I've been on the hunt for a particular Schumache...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - October 2024 ** - Winner - TheDiamondOne

Gonna take you back to an very important car in my rc history. 1989. This was my ultima that was modified as much as my budget for a 16 year old could afford mowing lawns (which I still do to this day for a living). Our local track converted to dirt oval. It was a very loamy heavily watered soil so ...

Re: Brushless motor analyzer

It will tell you how aligned the hall sensors are as well as actual timing since the notches on motors are always way off. It will also tell you KV at a certain amp draw, most people seem to set the amp draw at 5 - 6 amps to help find the sweet spot which should keep it at a safe-ish temp under race...
