Please bare in mind most of what I'll be posting is weeks old that I'm copy/pasting from my Losi Forum I mod at. When I get around to getting to the more recent stuff I'll be sure to let you know when I post it.



I tried the new sheet metal break from Habor Freight and Tool and the thing works excellent, several vise grips are needed to hold the material steady in the tool but other than that well worth the price paid !

I made 2 electronics trays today and once the lenth is determined I will cut off the excess. Some make think I'm crazy but I decided to use Brass rather than aluminum and I'll explain why. Once the aluminum is bent 90* it cantr be bent back with breaking at the bend. Also I can solder braces, brackets, cab mounts etc etc right to these plates. The brass is a tick heavier than the aluminum but way lighter than the factory steel plates.















This entire sheet of brass is several grams lighter than this steel plate at 1/3 it's size.
