What did you work on today?

[Pinepig]

Gearbox case showed up and it wasn't that bad swapping it out since I've never worked on one of these before. They seem pretty well engineered. I really like it when one piece serves more than one purpose.

I did have an issue for a second when I went to put the dif back in the case, what side did the ring gear go on? eerrrr oh lookie there a relief cut in the chassis, thanks Arrma. I also stripped a small countersunk screw that was holding the wheelie mount bracket to the case, drilled the head off so I could salvage the HR part that was there and substituted one of the four holding the wheelie wheels on to replace it. Ordered a complete set of nuts/bolts from JennysRC for the next time.

Thank you. It's a range extender. Supposed to give me more range. I'm gonna do a test this weekend if the weather holds.

You have superior eye vision? I guess you need a lot of range to do 200+ mph?

I think all of the 6s diffs go in the case w/ the ring gear on the left side- except for gp5 diffs for some reason. It took me more than a few choice cuss words to figure that out when I switched over in my typhon

This was going to be her avatar. Matches the red pivot balls I put on her Typhon. You ain't kidding!

Oh great, a week from now we are going to hear @Johnny b asking if anyone knows how to rid an Arrma of termites.

Ran 4 packs through my Senton today. Lots of fun! Did numerous cartwheels and rolls. I really need to get a phone holder. Tried to take pics with one hand but couldn't drive at all. This is the only pic I was able to take. Paula's driving her Typhon tomorrow. Will try to get some good pics!

Paula is down to the last stage of her first batch of Sauvignon Blanc wine making. Draining into Carboy. Sit for 2 days and then ready to bottle. Looks crystal clear, no sediment!

Worked on painting the lines in the parking lot and getting to know the infraction and thermal shutdown. (that's salt dust, not wet). Now I see how you could go through tires fast on this thing.

I got my Typhon 3s out for a run for the first time since I installed a 3800kv Spektrum motor. I had the motor laying around from a 130A ESC/3800kv motor deal where the ESC and motor combined was cheaper than buying the ESC separately. I'm running a 19T Robinson Racing hardened steel pinion with the stock spur gear that I've had in the Typhon for a while. I don't have my GPS currently installed in the Typhon now to check the speed, but I can tell it's an improvement over the stock motor.
