    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    1/7 scale and bigger. The Traxxas X-Maxx is probably the most affordable big scale truck and comes RTR in the new 8S variant for under a grandy, plus $200+ for batteries. The 1/5 scale trucks are the biggest and baddest, and most expensive. The guys that race the 1/5 trucks usually go through...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Yup, Nitro. I spent 3-4 hours cleaning/detailing the T-Maxx, it looks almost like new again. It really needed it, there was a lot of gunk all over everything from whomever drove it last (years ago). And I had a very large assortment of T-Maxx and Revo parts show up yesterday, so I got to...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Well we are all still here. The winds were blowing a constant 25mph for about 2 hours yesterday, then it was like a light switch and it just stopped, but poured rain through the night. It's been on and off showers today, there was plenty of time to sneak in some trigger time with the truck :)...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    We've actually had the exact opposite of California weather, seems like it's been non-stop rain every weekend since the beginning of December- we're no longer in the 'drought'! I hope it's not a wet winter, it's usually warm and dry. We've got a record setting storm rolling in this weekend, the...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It was a magnificent day for RC shenanigans :D No flying yesterday due to rain, but it was sunny and 70 all day today. Flew the Yak in the morning :) Then later in the afternoon went and bashed around with the T-Maxx. Ran 3 tanks through the airplane before calling it, and 2 tanks through...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Pulled my Edge out tonight to position the DA120 in front. Man this is gonna look good, now just to mount it up :) I politely replied to his commentary that when he's ready to come talk to me like a sensible person then he knows where to find me.

    Went to get the T-Maxx tuned up today and the neighbor came out and start cursing up a storm at me for driving it in the street :oblong::confused: Guess he had nothing better to do today. :rolleyes: Charging up airplanes now, we're going flying tomorrow!!!

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Playing with slimers again tonight. Ran the Traxxas Revo through its second tank of nitro tonight, something didn't seem right though because the clutch was engaging the moment the engine turned over, wouldn't run unless the wheels were off the ground. Well turns out the clutch spring broke...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Not much airplane related stuff the past few nights, but last night and tonight I tackled this Traxxas T-Maxx TRX2.5 engine. It was stuck from what I'm assuming was a bunch of gunk inside and not having been ran for years. Tore it down, stuck the case, crank, and piston assembly into a cup of...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well I finally started to work on my 107" Pilot Edge! I've had the thing for at least a year and a half now and have done absolutely nothing with it until last night. Put 2 servos into the left wing panel and was going to continue to the right panel before I realized I don't have any harnesses...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I've always had a thing for wings, always owned one as long as I can remember. It all started with a Hobby People Wild Wing that I flew for years, rebuilt 10 times over, made faster, stronger.... I still have it, just haven't had much of the itch to get it out and fly it since it needs new...
