What did you work on today?

[21STalion]

I bought some tool steel and gave it a go a while back. They just seem to snap too easy. Never even bend, just clean breaks.

If you're snapping tool steel, which is pretty hardcore btw - rock on, you can move to a more flexible titanium

Thanks to my Man @hdt1980 I have always wanted a way to remove my Infraction body on/off have no wires to fight with and now have a magnetic connection for my Polo Creations lights....

Bought a new body from @Mazduh3 so look forward to painting it and moving this system over for a cleaner look.

You’re going to have to scrape the ice off of your motor and esc after each run

Tool steel is very hard, and hard steels are brittle. Some of the hardest tool steels will shatter if dropped on a concrete floor. Tool steel makes sh!tty pins, sh!tty axles, and sh!tty anything that needs to be TOUGH. If you want tough steel, look no further than 4340 Cr-Mo and the like. That's what you would use to make a chisel, axle, or pin because it is tough, not so brittle or hard.

Thanks for that. I'll definitely look into what's available. It was impossible to figure out what the actual pins were made of, but Cro Moly seems a likely candidate.

Finished dremeling the side skirts to fit and mounted the paddles I received today. Think I'll put the stock tires back on to run in the snow. Those badlands are much wider.

Did spinal surgery on one of my 4x4 chassis with a fractured spine. I had a spare chassis but thought if I can fix the old one why not try. As long as the steering rack clears it, it should be fine. Time will tell. No lose if it doesn't work.

I got these red body post mounts in today. Little added touch of color.

While working on my infraction 4s, I took the body off and set in on my Talion. And I see........hmmmmm

Hey guys,
Today l was a little bored and l assembled a fan for my touring car - Tamiya -
Some specs: 40mm 22000 rpm 1.00A and ball.
the fan is connected to the balancer cable.
Tomorrow I want to build one for my Senton - red spacers and red braided cable.

What do you guys think about it?

 

[N.Mango]

After a few mods to it I'll have a show stand for my new build.
