Thank you Shaun (SIR) for looking at my toys, and for the nice comments. No videos yet. I just learned how to post up the photos this week. I have cameras that can take video, but the wife has the easiest one to operate with her right now in San Francisco. Yea I saw the hanging R/C vehicles in an earlier post on this thread and stole the idea for my own shop. I to love the space saving, and the way it looks. When people come over to check out the shop it really catches their attention.

I received a whole bunch of stuff this week, but I am still waiting on a few more items in order to complete two of the trucks and get them ready for testing. I have some HPI hardened diff gears comming, and some custom drive shafts coming from RC Alloys. I also have a center diff setup (bought on here) to play with and I just got a few different metal spur gears in for that(44T, 46T, 50T, 60T, and 65T). That gives me a lot of range to play with during testing. I already have a ton of different pinion gears on hand.

I have all kinds of neat stuff to play with, but I still have not learned how to charge batteries with my 989 Superbrain, nor have I begun to learn how the DX3-R works. I have two Spektrum receivers to use with it, so once I figure out how to get them going I will get some videos up for posting. I also have several ESC's to use, but have not a clue on how to set them up. So I have a lot of research and studying to do before I can run any of them.

I received another set of Axial beadlocks this week and mounted a set of 40 series Roadrage II tires on them. I made sure to tape and balance the wheels so no problems there. I am just not as fast at doing these projects as you are Shaun. I have three kids to deal with, and my evenings belong to the wife. Plus there are just some days when I do not feel like messing with R/C's at all. It has been a long hard road(3 years) making R/C toy purchases for this, but bashing time is growing near. I have learned about as much engineering wise about these trucks as I can, and now I have to get through all of the electronics before I am ready to play in the dirt. One of them is going to be my high speed pavement project, but I have no idea how fast I may get it up to. I doubt anything like the fastest R/C contest, but who knows??
