What did you work on today?

[vpr5793]

Nope just 3s, @olds97_lss runs 4s in his though.

Dang bro be careful.

Yeah. The next thing I need to do is solder an EC5 onto the MMX 8s ESC, but I think I am done with hot things for the night. haha

I'm always afraid I'm gonna drop my soldering iron on myself or something.

I've got a scar on my left hand from a blob of solder that fell off of a pipe when I was working on the plumbing in my house. I couldn't do anything, because my other hand was busy holding a propane torch. Oh man did that smell nice. /s

Changed the shocks...(still stock but one of the shafts was bent) tossed a set of hoons on it too...

Ouch! Mine isn't that bad for sure. It's just a little circle basically. Burns suck.

But were they good? Love chimichangas! Well maybe not enough to disfigure myself for! That looks like it smarts for sure.

They're worth a little scarring for sure!

You're a little too far for drive-thru though. I live in central VA LOL

Got the Mojave chassis cleaned off and put back together, got the new motor installed, got the new Servo installed, and got the receiver mounted. I also put new tires on it and body mounts. Tomorrow I will solder a new connector on to the ESC, mount it, and take it for a test drive.

M2C shock towers fitted to the MT410

Got the Mojave mostly put together. Still need to properly mount the Rx, and now the power switch. But it is complete and functional!

@vpr5793 I think your going to need Hoons for those floors!

Haha! Yeah probably. Luckily this isn't an on-road machine.

Wrenching is therapy.

4s needs love, too. I managed the gumption to swap out the rear drives with the steel option (many backorder months later, and a month or so of procrastination on my part)

And noticed something not quite right with this-

Good thing I hit up Jenny's before they ran out last fall

Back in bidness. This magnificent b@$tard will celebrate its first birthday soon. I think most of the bearings will hold out until June. They've mostly been swapped out with fast eddys once, and some high wear parts are on they're third set of oem replacements from Jenny's. They're in better shape than I expected after all the snow this thing saw this winter. Still, I'll do a full tear down/ bearing swap and maybe drop it into a short chassis (4s outcast) then. Kinda depends on what HH brings out in 4s by then...

Made up a sway bar for the Ryft out of a cheapo Bomber one off eBay, it needed some bushes, longer torsion bar and drop links to work with Ryft
