Re: So, what did you do RC today?
My TC3 is just do fun to drive! With the cold pavement and 12T double motor (pretty sure it's a Trinity D3 without label) it does some awesome powerslides! Unfortunately, the 'juat one more' bug bit me and I winged it a bit. Gotta print a replacement now.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Started the build of my rere Turbo Optima during summer of 2022. Got back at it last night. I was really impressed with my ability to find shock shaft e-clips in the carpet that had launched themselves around the room. I think it might be a runner next weekend... or in another 18 months

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Got in what I think is going to be the front axle of my '33 Ford. So, axles are determined I think. Waiting on actual final rear tires to come in later this week so I can finalize chassis width throughout, then get to cutting it.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Finally got around to refurbing some wiring on my 410K and G11 ESCs.
Then began printing some Tamiya car stands. Have several in both Grey and White that I will be posting for sale soon.

Tidied up an old F1 car that a friend gave me. Just need to clean up the body a little bit and find foam donuts for the wheels now....

Bought a replacement tip for $6.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 2:20 pm Broke the 0.050" tool tip. I'm guessing that Associated probably doesn't sell a replacement, so I'll need to hunt for one with a 3mm shaft.

That's handy to know because I broke my .050 AE driver too.

Funnily enough it was!
The tip broke off in the pinion gear

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Mine had broken trying to remove a pinion (not one I had tightened). After breaking the tip I had to use my puller to get the pinion off
