What will that do to your gut!

Makes gut happy

The habanero sauce and cayenne tortillas in it help with the happiness

Hardened steel Factory Works outdrives drilled to size with a carbide drill bit and installed. It's nice to have this transmission complete.

What kinda speed and pressure did you run that drill bit at?

Probably too high of RPM and I eased it through in small increments on my drill press.

It isn't even the running for free part. It costs Lowgear money for the server hosting service. There's monthly bills to pay to keep this place going.

I hope Thunder Tiger doesn't miss the opportunity to link to their heritage too.

I had to wrestle this from the clenched fists of USPS today. For some reason they refused to deliver it and made me go pick it up. It's a very cool Novak NESC 2. Thanks JosephS! . 1000016694.jpg . I think I know what's wrong with it. It looks like a previous previous owner spliced in a piece of Losi...

I cleaned up this NESC 2. 1000016694.jpg The primary issues with it were the wiring. Bypassed power switch, broken receiver negative wire at the grommet, bad receiver wire splice joints, loose/bad battery power connector, bad motor connector wiring.

I like the slogans that Tamiya has on the buggy spoilers. Being Nuts is Neat, Hoppin Mad, Anytime Baby, etc.

Family photo! On the left are NESC 1X, 1, and 4 with 3 screw cases and 4 wire leads. On the right NESC 2 and 4 with taped closed cases and 3 wire leads.

I can think of more fun aspects of running RC stuff.

It's cool to see the differences between the Ten4.1 and B44, and the 834 and '91 Works. Different generations of 4WD design for Associated and Yokomo based buggies all gathered together. This is a serious collection of apples vs oranges entries this month.
