Also, the more I look, the more I like the TC6. Surely Tower will have it EasyPay eligible once it's in stock.
Cooler Master Spartan. Hand airbrushed in PPG and cleared. They made 50 of them. I think mine is #24 of 50. Every one of them was different since they were done by hand. Lifetime warranty on the paint.

Ah nice. I like Cooler Master stuff. IIRC, the PS in my home built is a Cooler Master. It's been a couple of years since I built it, so I haven't paid attention to computer stuff since then.

Holy moly Gregg!! That's a serious computer case!

I don't have room to talk...I won't mention how much I spend on race tires, and my tires are cheap compared to, say, a Corvette.

Oh well, we all spend stupid money on hobbies, eh?

Speaking of spending money...we bought a new fridge tonight. Expensive buggers...

BTW, Gregg, the 206B has been a great charger. I'm impressed with it.

I did notice one strange thing with the Savox servo. I've lost 3 screws for the servo horn. I used some blue Loctite on this last one. We'll see if that keeps it in place.

Yeah, it comes with a nice pricetag. And I didnt really post it off topic. I said I would trade it for something good.

And Fridges arent my favorite way to spend money!

Im liking my 206B too, I think its a great charger. Its been flawless for me.

Also, I always blue loctite anything that can move like that. If it falls out once, it gets blue. If it falls out again, it gets red!

I need to get unlazy and post all of my RC stuff for sale I dont want.

Hey guys, I finally soldered my RX8 in and drove around the living room.

Question - if I gun it (only for a second in my house!) there is a solid thunk type sound - maybe the dog bones clunking, or the motor starting. Any ideas on what it could be? - will try to get a video later. Normal driving slowly is fine - sounds great, it is just the initial jump off the line.

I did wonder if it wasn't in sensored mode, but taking out the cable was an eye opener. So my problem isn't cogging.

And I don't like soldering those darn posts. Make it a little bigger and put in some binding posts.

Oh, and windex will get tire marks off of hardwood...

The clunk is just all of the slack in the drivetrain going away all at once. As long as your gear mesh is fine I would not worry about it.

Yeah, if you check the slack in the diffs, thats all if can be, unless you are missing a tooth off of one of the covered diffs. Which is a little unlikely.

Yeah i know. I hit something that jogged the motor loose just enough to make the pinion strip the gear. Next time ill make sure the motor is securely screwed down.

Grid mount. It will never happen again.

Just look out for MOD1 on the pinion and you will be safe

I've heard that the paper shall only fold between the gears -not getting chewed?
