Orange County CAF's: up to no good

shit a mod ...... im outta here

 

Kinda like meeting a CHP officer in Nevadad...

 

Well, it's all apart and weighed. Only important stuff is the chassis lower, which is 1.5lb and the wheels which are altogether 1.2lb. the thing started at 3.6lb, so I can definitely lose some weight if need be. It's quite clean and simple inside, which for RadioShack, really surprised me.

 

CHP pulled me over once and starting giving me shit because there was brass in the bed of my truck.

CHP: Do you have a gun on you
ME: No
CHP: Are you sure
ME: Yes
CHP: Explain the brass in the bed
ME: Went shooting a few days ago

 

CHP: How'd ya go shooting with no gun?

 

ME: Non of your fucking business. Am I being detained or am I free to go.

 

That should have come after the "Explain the brass in your bed" part.

 

Aaaaaand suddenly there's a missing taillight

 

True.

 

Meh .. was already pulled over for "speeding" and disrespecting him for pulling away.

Dude was in my blind spot going up a grade. Once we got over the grade and starting going down hill truck speed up some and he felt I disrespected his authority by pulling away.

1) didn't even know he was there since he was in my blind spot
2) I have no duty to respect him one way or the other
3) Disrespecting him (accidentally or intentionally) has no bearing on his authority to pull me over

If I was speeding pull me over and give me a ticket. Don't try and pull this thug shit about respect just because you are armed and I am not.

 

Well, that's just like, your opinion maaan..

 

If you were black you'd still be in jail today...

 

Welp.. I'm confused.

 

The red wire is positive, the black is negative....
Well actually the red wire is negative since electrons flow from the negative side of the battery but since most plebs don't understand that concept, all consumer batteries are labeled backwards...

 

the motor has the manufacturer name (Mabuchi)but no product or serial number, so no way to determine exact specs. I'm thinking I'll find the most powerful motor of the same voltage with the same dimensions, then see if the power transistors can hold the extra current draw. I'd imagine my battery life will go from 2 hours to 40min but oh well burn rubber bitches.

 

Wait wait wait, red and black? All I see is orange..

 

That is probably true.

But it shouldn't be

 

I'm ok with backwards. I have enough problems trying to keep the rust off my cow.

 

After a few hours of research I've successfully found the 3 DC brushed motors that have the right dimensions to fit in the car, I'd like to let you all know that I'm going with the most powerful of the three, power transistors be damned! Suckin Amps babyyyy

 

Closing on the house tomorrow.
Current owners need 2 days to move but should have access to the place this weekend.

Got a good offer on our condo but they want us to pay closing costs. Going to counter with price they offered but they pay their own closing costs.

Not in the mood to pay someone elses closing costs when I just paid for them on the new place.
