Re: So, what did you do RC today?
One project wrapped up, mostly . I've got some aluminum wheels for it that need 2" tires. I'm thinking a set of Schumacher T650 spikes are just the ticket. The OEM tires are just to blah.
For now, it will wear my OG Turbo Optima's shell until I can locate it at my parent's place. No risk of that happening anytime soon.
So far I'm not crazy about the Orca ESC. It seems like it has too many settings and that they limit it from giving me all the power all the time like the good old ESCs. I'll play with the settings a little more. I like that this rere chassis lets me run a shorty lipo.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
My wife said that we needed to do something with the old entertainment center in the back room, so I moved it across the hallway and put it to use.
It still provides entertainment as well. It has an Orb Audio Mini T amplifier with a Bluetooth adapter, powering a set of Klipsch bookshelf speakers (top shelves, behind the RC10's), and a 8" Sony sub.

I now have a dedicated set of axle pin pliers. I probably should drill a little pocket hole in the other side to steady axle pins for installation.

Not all today, or even this week. But I've been slowly breaking this neglected Frog back to life. Lots of paint and polishing.
Now that it's a roller, I can finalize body plans.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Been restoring mine and the Diamond One's garage over last 3 or 4th years...slow process!...used to run our mowing business and worked on full size boats and cars out of here for years....since the cost of living has gotten so high, we will never ever be able to afford any full scale stuff...ever...so we have been spending the last few years trying to get the garage into shape..today we moved all of our vintage rc stuff into the garage...it was a relief seeing it sitting in there and knowing the road to the end is near...(also there is an 18ft overhead door at other end but it is unplugged, we don't open it anymore except emergencies)

I think you'll find it rises up from the floor at the press of a button..... much like the roulette wheel flips over at the bar - at the press of a button.
All that red lighting, I was thinking this might be Farmer's Bordello.... very upmarket...
Osiris is the key.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
The fronts are aluminum slot wheels, unknown brand. I polished them and put some Tamiya Supershot tires on them.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any matching rears. I noticed that RPM Revolvers didn't clash too bad with them. So I used some wide offset crawler wheels with Schumacher full spikes.

Got in some 2500mah Panasonic super SCR stick packs a while back to convert into saddle packs.....wired up more resistors to discharge them and started to disassemble...
