It was a nice sunny and warm 34 degrees F winter day today and we played with our trucks a lot. A lot of people were taking walks in the neighborhood with their dogs and children so my son took care of terrorizing the small dogs and I went darting for toddlers. Just joking
When I changed the rear bulkheads, I forgot to tighten down the nuts for the rockers so they were sliding up and down the shafts and eventually, one broke at the beginning of the third set of lipos. Sadly, I don't have a spare so I just watched my son play until he decided he had enough. No broken bulkheads though
My switch was not holding well anymore because the screw holes were stripped so I decided to finally get rid of it. After almost a year of running it in a balloon, it still looks pristine with no trace of dust or moisture or corrosion.
I took out the old bag of multi colored marshmallows and went clown hunting. I talked about this trick before on how I leave a trail of multi colored marshmallows leading to the end of a dark alley. When a clown takes the bait, I jump out and grab his bag of clown balloons, the ones he makes balloon puppets with. My Jato shock boots were torn so I went back to clown balloons, they are tougher then Jato shock boots. I also went with blue front springs and silver rear springs. here's a pic of the truck with missing rocker and no place for a switch anymore.
