What did you work on today?

[joshludden]

Just got done putting the @Tex Koder Jota splitter on the Chinook (6s Infraction) w/ scorched titanium screws. Looks effing killer. Put on the side winglets also. Had to trim the bottom of the bitty 765 body in the front a little bit & shave the foam bumper down to get everything to fit nicely. Drilled the splitter & got the 3w headlights installed as well as the Amazon cheapo taillights on the back- all connected to the 3rd channel on my nb4. Wiring/electronics I think are now 100% complete, just need some nice weather now!!

I'm tired of pinion moving back and forth, so I have tried to do something to prevent it. Made a spotface on the shaft for the grub screw.

Hope it's not weakening the shaft too much.

Where did you get the illustration profiles of this body?
Did you draw it yourself in illustrator or inkscape??

Took pics of my current body. Traced it up in Illustrator then drew the graphics around the lineart.

So not to much to complain about. For my second Aarma rig, I've been pretty happy with the QC in the 3s line. My girls Typhon is now ready to rip. Both diffs were low on fluid, no surprise there. Pinion to spur mesh was a little tight for my liking and slipper clutch was way to tight. All screws were loc tighted that needed to be. Included a few pics, can see how low the diffs are on fluid. Calibrating car tomorrow! This is what turns new people off to the hobby. Something as simple as gear mesh off or slipper to tight can do a lot of damage. Then the hobbiest thinks it junk and turns away from the hobby. Sad.

I installed bumper/skid plate assemblies on my Corally Muraco.

Have you considered mixing two or three cereal boxes together to make a combo flavor body?

Lol. No but sounds like a good idea. Have visions every morning while eating cap'n crunch.

Today I will be calibrating my gf's new Typhon. She wants to run it first so I'll just chase bull dog around the house with it a little. Also FINALLY received my W2 in the mail. Made over 17k last year!!! Ikr!! As you can see, I make a darn good living! Worked jan through March. Never again will I work that much in a single year! Life's to short! Anyway, tomorrow will be teaching gf how to drive her Typhon, while holding tx properly.

Remember..
Have her hold the tx next to her heart ,while using her left hand to steer


***************************************

Two quick notes-
1. If you want to have a bit more protection on the Typhon.. just in case of heavy trigger finger, look to adding the BR front bumper. To give it some more Bash worthiness...

2. If you need some Mod parts for her Typhon (or your Senton).. PM me.
ex: mudguards, motor support, heavier shock pre-load clips, CF center brace etc.

Very kind offer Tex..thank you! Will see how her skills play out. Senton front bumper is very weak as you know. Broke twice.
