Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
Oh, baby, the FSi6 is an amazing radio. There's a whole ecosystem of new firmware for them to expand them to 14 channels (or more!), change the switches around, add new controls, etc etc.

Re: Ram Build
Epic! That took me a coupla reads before I realized what I'd just said. And so many of my ideas are half vast.

Re: Zil 130 Thing
Great minds think alike! Nothing says vintage truck like white-plus-a-color-that-was-in-your-grandma's-kitchen (think mint green, or or like a brick red, or ...) Do a Google images search for "60's...

Re: Ram Build
In the 1:1 world, I'm a Ford guy, but I'd take a RAM over a GM any day. (Actually, my FIL says the perfect truck would be my SuperDuty with the Cummins out of the RAM and the Allison out of the...

Re: 1:10 M1070 and M1000 HETS
As always, thanks for the good words.
Wrt driveshafts, part is my fault for them being a bit short, and part was fixed by loc-tite on the set screws.
I think gluing the tire beads would keep...

Re: 1:10 M1070 and M1000 HETS
As with the Abrams, this build isn't quite what I'd hoped. I don't expect perfection; I lack patience and I'm not a rivet-counter. In addition, I also enjoy my builds being functional, so they're not...

Re: 1:10 M1070 and M1000 HETS
I've seen several M1070 builds, but not so many M1000 trailers. Not only is there not need if you don't have an Abrams or other crazy huge thing to pull, they're a complicated setup.
Five axle...

Re: 1:10 Land Rover Defender 4x4, mini tow rig
Wrt the body, thanks. Did take a bit of sanding, and filler primer and paint hide most of the print artifacts. There's some of the diagonal lines from the slicer being confused, I think, but yeah,...

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Oh, like a mechanically compound lift, I get it. Would take up less space prolly. Wasn't too bad squeezing in the belt-drive servo, but keeping the belt tight and giving it enough engagement to its...

Re: OpenRC tractor, 1:10, JD remix of Ebro 160D
Dang, I didn't know you could get quality servos in the micro size. I've been using the generic blue ones. This is not least because they came in a bag of ten and I had leftovers from whatever...

Re: 1:10 Land Rover Defender 4x4, mini tow rig
Crap, didn't think of recessing the spare. That woulda worked nicely. Unfortunately the bonnet & wings aren't removable as the whole body is glued/painted as one. (The snorkel glues both top &...

Re: OpenRC tractor, 1:10, JD remix of Ebro 160D
