    Wheel collar attachment

    Nah, it's not that hard. I just like simple, sturdy and clean ;-)

    Wheel collar attachment

    Nope, Part # 6157K67, fits 3/16" axle, is $2.32 each. Part # 6157K12, fits 1/4" axle is $2.13 each. Those are the two most popular sizes. I use Dubro 3/16 axles on my planes.

    Wheel collar attachment

    That works great also, but my problem is the tiny Allen wrench or the Chinese set screw round out easily. And I never seem to get the flat filed in the correct spot. Another trick if you have enough axle sticking out past the collar is to slip a piece of tygon over the axle in the outside...

    Wheel collar attachment

    They are the way to go, That's all I use now. They have a 4-40 locking screw that you can really get some leverage on. I order the aluminum ones.

    One piece aluminum shaft collars from McMaster Carr. You will never fool with wheel collars, or loose a wheel again. Your welcome. :-)

    OK.. why is there a camping section?

    The bad part about the cheap coolers (besides the durability) is without a gasket on the lid they don't keep ice for long at all in the Florida heat.

    Moving to High Voltage

    They are fine on 2s. Been done plenty of times. I believe Hitec will even confirm that.

    OK.. why is there a camping section?

    I have a K2 that's nice, but I think a Yeti is going to be better.

    How did you get or come up with your user name?

    When I worked at the chemical plant before I started in the oilfield, my co-workers called me the Jedi. They said they have never seen somebody that could screw off as much as I did while running two extrusion lines, keeping them clean, and my paperwork in order. I took that as a compliment lol...

    Who's getting a new iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

    I keep a lot of music on mine, and a lot of time at work or on flights I can't stream music from iCloud. Constantly having to delete stuff on my 4s 16 gig. That's the only reason I went with the 64 gig. Otherwise 16 g would be fine.

    Seems to me if you load it up a little more it is happier in the transition. Sounds less like a chainsaw lol.

    Amount of space between cowl and carb

    I disagree with that. None of my planes are that far away from the cowl. I would say that if you are roughly the diameter of the venturi away from the firewall or cowl it will be fine.

    Any Sand Duners here?

    There is a 88 TRX 250r in a the corner of my barn in about 200 pieces. It has a brand new never ran LRD 330, Lone Star long travel arms and +3 axle, Elka shocks, etc... Belongs to a buddy of mine. We took it apart several years back, I welded up a bunch of cracks in the frame and added a gusset...
