Anyone into R/C?

you definitely have some good airbrush skills

 

Purdy.

You do need a job, you jive-ass monkey. Who has time for this?

 

I do as of right now, hell, I've already started another. I'm doing a Red Bull themed T4 body for a guy. I'll post some pics in a day or so. BTW, we didn't get nothing for rain today. I rode to the track, about one millimeter of crust on top, two inches silt underneath.

 

It's kind of like riding a bike -- once you figure it out it seems easy, but it can be kinda tough at first. You're either riding or falling over. My first Deans plug after 20 years sucked, but it was also a new iron. Once the iron got broken in and I remembered the "feel" I was good to go, but it was a little frustrating at first, knowing that I used to do it all the time with no problems. I use some small vice grips as a third hand to hold the plug, but the rubber band thing is a good idea.

 

I can't wait to see it

Hopefully we get some rain over here soon, its way too dry

 

Got some rain this morning. didn't rain that much but everything's been really wet today. Odd. Good for the track, though! Just need to get this fawking connector soldered up and I'll be good to go.

 

Are you still fucking with that?

 

FINALLY GOT THIS DAMN THING. Now to put deans on teh battery!

 

I fucked with it from 3:30-ish till about 6:30-ish. Went to dinner with the woman and came back. Got it the second try.

 

Are we still talking about the solder job?

 

I love that guy. But for real, you burnt three hours on one connection on small wire?

 

I have a tendency to continue to attempt the same thing in the exact same way if it doesn't work the first time. It doesn't make sense, I know.

 

Haahaahaahaa. Wow. Sounds like someone else I know

 

It seems Albert Einstein had a word for that very thing.

 

holy shit.
soldering gun just burst into flames in my hand! i threw it on the ground and unplugged it. I don't see how I'm not burnt.

What a piece of shit. Guess who's getting a soldering iron tomorrow!

 

From what I could tell the tip wasn't getting over 300 or 400 degrees. Package says I need 700... I've done it with an iron before. I think my dad or brother carried it off or some bullshit like that. Much easier with an iron.

 

got my team c ts2 running today so i snapped a couple pics of it with my slash.







also installed a hot racing bell crank in my slash.

 

Isn't 700-800 ideal for our application

 

you wont regret it it!
get a decent one the first time or you might be just as frustrated
