What are you working on today?

[WoodiE]

Looks like you're ready for a good time of building a new kit @Kyzane

 

[Kyzane]

Yeah the Senton and Talion are all prepped and already have been run this year. It was time to build something that doesn't run at 45-65 mph and get bashed while doing so.

 

[Steve]

I know it's not an Arrma

Close enough @Kyzane , Axial like Arrma are both Hobbico brands.
I was toying with an Axial kit for when the hellacious dog days of summer hit the desert.
Have fun!

 

[Kyzane]

well front and rear axles are complete i'm just finishing up the shock assembly once those are done i think i'll pack in in for the night. i'll throw some updated pics as the assembly progresses tomorrow.

 

[Kyzane]

Axles Done, Shocks filled and assembled. I had to break down the front axles because and re-do a bit of my work today due to assembling while half asleep and putting some pieces in backwards. Tomorrow after work it's going to be Tires for both the Wraith and one of my other Rc's, Soldering the electronics up, program the ESC and test all the electronics. I am waiting on the rest of the construction as i have an aluminum servo horn and metal transmission gears coming still.



I have steel driveshafts on the way as well but I should be able to swap those in easily and I don't feel like waiting 7-10 days for them to arrive before I drive this beast. My hopes is to be up and running on saturday afternoon.

Changed the inner right bearing on my typhon this afternoon. Went and got a stock one til I get some Eddy's. I lost a thin washer that hold the knuckle, the top screw. Do they sell that part?

Also, I need to add oil to my shocks and I couldn't get the cap loose to my front shocks. Is there a trick to it? This is my first RC and I don't want to break anything, so I'll wait and ask for advice. Tia

And the Wraith Spawn is 95% complete, it runs but i have a couple of upgrade pieces on the way including a front electronics platform for the battery, steel driveshafts, and a few other odds and ends. anyways without further delay here are the final pics for now.

I'm pretty sure you can buy that part by itself, I saw all kinds of washers sold individually in the Sentons parts list.

OooOoo, the 70's circa Chevy, nice!

 

[Steve]

Tried and failed miserably to mod a Traxxas Rustler body to fit a Vorteks.
Oh well...

Hung some HD shelves, rated at 100# each, organized my RCs and oh yeah, slid the camp stove in there too!

You worked much harder than I did over the weekend. My level of work was hanging my ENO hammock and laying in it for a while. I might have even taken a nap or two in it over the weekend.
