What are you guys up to?

[_paralyzed_]

Are you bashing hard enough to snap aluminum servo horns? Are you turning 22 tooth mod 1.5 pinions that are the size of a servo? I am



I'm also buttoning up the "pif maxx". Check it out! http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...d=1#post419839

That is a huge pinion for sure. How the heck did you snap that horn? Sadly, not much bashing for me as my rc's are in storage right now as I am going through a divorce

[snellemin]

Damn, that is hugest pinion I've seen today. I bet you have huger ones......


I looked in my motor drawer and got depressed the other day. I don't have time to play with RC's right now. The only brushless motor that gets some action right now, is the one on my bike. BTW, that sucker went 46mph yesterday.

I run no servo saver on my savage, and a jr8611a servo. It'll strip the aluminum horns with the plastic inserts. The horn pictured was cast for a jr servo and it snapped, the servo just keeps on taking a beating. Direct drive and a beefy servo make me happy

Damn! I keep thinking about 2 hub motors on a manual wheelchair. My current top speed is 8.5mph. 46mph sounds like more fun

I am building a Trophy Truck over at RC Short Course. Here is link: Check it out

I'm feeling my way into helicopters...not going too well, but I'm stubborn.

[rawfuls]

Trying to urge myself out of helicopters, but got myself into computers, more and more...
Been tinkering with our home surveillance rig, trying to get it to work, and I think I may have just hit it.

Other than that, not much RC, though, this Friday I am going to do a full out RC bash with a few friends of mine.

Also getting more and more into planes, as they seem to be much more wallet-friendly..
Especially considering I'm trying to regain the ~$760 I've spent on upgrading my computer, component by component...

I haven't done much with R/C lately either. By the time I finally do drive them, my lipos will be too old. I too mess with helis more than I do with the trucks. I only have a Blade MCX2 and a 120sr, and the 120sr is giving me all kinds of hard times. I guess I should just stick to a dual rotor setup like the MCX2, just bigger so I can use it outside.

Other than that, I've been busy with computer stuff too. Up until about a year ago, my most powerful setup was a single-core CPU, 1GB ram, dual WD 35GB Raptors in RAID0, and AGP card. Since then, I've been concentrating on getting all multi-core boxes and getting rid of all the old stuff.
