Finished up cutting and mounting the TOJ. Surprisingly not butchered....and no blood drawn.

My 10T showed up today, still in the AE shipping box, unfortunately, it wasn’t packed tight, so could move up and down it, resulting in slight box damage, but I’m ok with it considering the savings I made. Top LH corner of box shows a bit of the damage https://tcphotos.net/images/2024/08/16/IMG_8232...

I haven't tried a Factory Works motor yet, but they use the same parts that seem to be industry standard now (including Radon 2) for brushed motors. The price is good, and the dyno and break-in are pretty cool too. The guy that sells them seems passable as an ok person too.

are brushless motors still a thing in RC? LOL! Brushless is the standard in modern RC. :wink: You youngster's and all your "modern" stuff. :roll: :wink: :lol: When I was running Clods NiCads were still a thing, I think it was Lipo that was just starting on the scene. I was out of RC by '0...

My dusty little oval track can't compete with that majestic sunset, but here it is anyway. I found this by accident. It is in a city park about 30 minutes away. It's not Whippoorwill, obviously, but pretty sweet for a free public area. The photo doesn't show it, but the corners are slightly banked. ...

I'm jealous of you guys with tracks.....

My "future" track when I eventually buy all the pvc or lumber, plow discs and related accessories..

Long story short my old power supply from 2007 had non backlit meters, I always wanted to backlight them even from new. With my new dirt cheap charger needing a P/S I thought now's the time. Went to double check what resistor I needed and what happens? My multimeter prong slips and blows up the volt...

Would love to reproduce my old truck

UMP silver label Brushed motor, im told its UMP diamond electric power motor. 17 turn, double wind. Never seen one here before, but the seller sent me the details for it. Ill add it to the "next project" list, which really means "ooohhh thats shiny "and sweep the other dozen half...
