What’s this? A post? I’ve been so busy with moving to Colorado from California I’ve just not had much time for projects and that’s what I like to post about the most. Well today the movers arrived and oh I have so many boxes to unpack and move and man. Just too much.

But I also got an 8th scale buggy kit that I’m really excited to build. This is the kit and some of the parts needed to build it. It’s a Tekno EB48 2.2. #rccar #rccars

Well I guess I’m really in for it now. Picked up a new Spektrum radio. These radios can basically do all of the Horizon Hobby vehicles plus any regular Spektrum receivers.

Spent last night configuring the radio for my Arrma Kraton Mini and my oooold Traxxas Slash LCG RWD short course truck. Slash had to get a new receiver since the one it had was for a different radio system.

I also improved the geometry of the front end of the Slash and while working on it, remembering how much I used to love@this hobby. But I also wanna keep it simple.

Thanks for the suggestion! I added a raspberry pi and a camera to the car. It doesn't work very well right now, but I'll improve it. I made a video for it but since it's not that good, I made the video about the importance of iteration instead! : )

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/9mMziE28QPU?si=hi_X-fqQVkA9cH31

Future iterations (of the car and the YouTube video) will be much better!

Updating my very old #tamiya #ta02 to using modern components.

Changing out the AM receiver for a new #elrs one. It is crazy how small the new digital hardware is.

Next up, replacing the old mechanical speed controller with an electronic one.

One of my #RCCars is an #Axial crawler, an #SCX10 III to be exact. I really like the precise way it drives. Even though it's infamous for having leaky shocks. Like, *really* leaky.

I thought I could remedy the problem with #3Dprinting my own replacement o-ring spacers. It's a simple modification, but so far, my modded shocks have been tight for the last two weeks.

I'll be keeping an eye out for future spills. Does this shock-fix work on your crawler, as well?

More kids attending the catbot class these days in addition to adults. The soldering can be a little difficult for them, but they really enjoy the final stages of the process.
