Roll bar on, taped and decaled (I like stickers so sue me). Back to original Blue Notorious once the Orange Outcast gets retired. Just used my last Arrma Forum decal?

You know who else likes stickers? My niece when she was 8. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: jfwy
Than she and I would get along fine. Scuse me while I go on ebay to buy new decal sheets. Running low after last night. See ya!
 
Helped buddy stack 4 cords of wood for the winter.
Oh man, you just rehashed a childhood memory. My Uncle owned a garden center back in the day, and starting in June every year, we received truck after truck of split wood. Giant dump truck with a cage on top to hold wood as high as the limit allowed. Stacked it every day until end of September. Had to build up the two sides with half cuts, so if I did it wrong, it would topple over and I'd have to start again.
 
Replaced the broken chassis on the Typhon 3S. Tried to make a spool for it with a FOH 37T spur, but the FOH spur has an 11mm bore and the 3S slipper hub is 10mm OD. Tried to steal the inner race of a bearing to make a bushing, but the race was 1.5mm thick and wouldn’t work. Then tried to fit a 31T pinion, but it’s too large with the 57T spur. Back to 27/57T and hope for 80mph ??‍♂️
 
Started putting my Senton back together with the new diffs, all new Avid bearings, ARRMA adjustable motor mount, a 14t pinion, Granite tires, and new Futaba 304 receiver with a new 25kg servo and servo saver. She's about half-way back together, and my HR aluminum pillow balls got here today, along with the special HR pliers to remove/install them.

Just glad I'm not too far along because if I got parts, I'm gonna use 'em, and I won't have to take too much stuff off to swap the pillow balls.
 
Right as I was about to load the car and go to the park. My mom pulled up from work with this.

But it gets even better, the spare tire also had its share of problems.

Luckily we did have a donut that fit, went and got one plugged and a new one to throw on.

Still got to play around a bit in a lit up parking lot. So I still got to have my fun. I just wish she called me instead of driving it home like this ? <--- was my face when I seen her.

Man! That sucks! At least she didn't go fast and tear up the fender/wheel well. I've heard some stories where people did that and the belts in the tire literally cut the fender off!

I just dropped my car off to get the tires tested again... 6700 miles on $1100's worth of tires. Has a shake that will not balance out. Remounted once, balanced 3 times... now at the shop to get some sort of road force test and tire depth test to try and get Continental to warranty them. I've had 4 sets of Continentals... this is the 2nd set that exhibited a shake that can't be fixed. I should have dealt with this when the 2nd balancing at a different shop didn't fix it... now I'm a year into it and haven't hardly driven the car (thanks to working from home), but every time I have to drive, I dread it. Really sucks, because I love the car! The weekend I got kicked out of the other bmx track, on my way home, it was the worse it's ever been. Don't know if it was the road or what, but 15 minutes into my drive home it shook the car so bad I had to pull over because I was about to vomit... and I had a full hour to drive yet!

Stupid tires.
