The bellcranks can be trimmed down to make for extra steering angle. This may void the non-existent 4.1 warranty, but the cranks are made of ~5.3mm thick nylon, so some trimming isn't going to hurt anything IMO. I haven't broken out the angle finders or anything, but my FR01 Ten4.1 is in the ballpar...

My plan is that the CVs are the limit, not the kit. If I get it to the point of the CVs being the issue, then EPA fixes that. That part is easy.

Sunset + lighthouse from our vacation home for the week. Still weirds me out that I can be on the east coast of the US, and get a sunset pic over the Atlantic Ocean.

The "Lizzie Borden" house. Fall River, MA.

New Englanders are just flat crazy! Sunday morning, 0700, 39*F, and there is a line at the boat ramp! I don't take my boat out if it is below 70*F.

They are like $6 wheels; just try it out. There are only a couple of plastics out there that haven't worked for me .

Does anyone else spend time on vacation looking for RCs? Or is vacation time meant for being away from RCs also :?: I am always on the look out, and love looking in new places. I won't interrupt the vacation much, but I do look. If I find something, I try to line up a deal first thing in the morning...

Started going through the pics from the past week in Rhode Island, and these are just a few from mostly the house where we stayed. We stayed right at a point, so had the Atlantic to the west of us, and an inlet cove with marina just to the east. If it wasn't a constant 20+mph wind, I would have hund...

My wife is savage these days. : Setting - antique shop and the wife starts looking through vintage christmas tree ornaments: Me: So, you don't think you have that tree ornament thing covered? Wife: So, you don't think you have that RC car thing covered? I just turn and walk away .......... beaten.

Another collecting day. Picked up another lot of mostly nitros, just for a couple of electrics, so need to get to work selling. Then stopped by rcjohnny's place and picked up one of his FTW-based TMS dually chassis. I first saw these a few weeks ago, and have been thinking about them since. Not sure...

I keep my filaments in 5 gallon buckets, with screw on lids, and dehumidifiers in them. Each bucket holds 5 spools. Check on the dehumidifiers every now and then, and recharge them as needed. https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Home-Depot-5-Gallon-Orange-Homer-Bucket-05GLHD2/100087613 https://www.homede...

Finally got into the build of my RC150.

My new bare bones budget Chinese CNC. 70% pre-assembled. Worst part is that what is assembled has to be taken apart so it can all be thread-locked and tightened properly.

My son is going to be my co-driver. He says "Trim the body mounts, dad." I go both ways on the subject. Sometimes I like them tight, sometimes I like them exaggerated. :) This morning I put the front end on my RC150, and then made an early afternoon road trip. BUILD 2.jpg POST HAUL 11-3-2...

I picked one up quite awhile ago from a fellow member here, and I was going to Scorpionize it, but since I have started diving into the nitro world a little bit, I pulled it out a couple of weeks ago and put it in the near-future queue. I think part of the diff is busted and I just need to find that...
