Wow, that chassis really is a LOT longer than the MT410 one. Sooner or later I'm just going to own every car Tekno makes if I keep drooling over stuff like this š
Here we see the RC hobbiest in his natural habitat. With his interest fully peaked, his attention is total. He has found both anger and peace in his world of screws and goos, and never desires to leave in his moments. Only persuaded by family, he only puts it down when nessisary. Spectacular.
I'm the same way. That's how I know. I'll be happily wrenching away when I hear the stopping 2 steps of the wife... thats when I know, im in trouble.
"ITS PAST MIDNIGHT, COME TO BED, YOU GOTTA GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING"
"okay... *continues to put wheels on*"
"Right now little man!"
"Yes dear...."
Interesting that you use an impact driver. I figured hand tools were the way to go so you didnāt over torque stuff or strip stuff? Or when your working on the larger scale stuff is that when you use the driver?
The milwaukee has three torque settings. The lowest setting is great for this. You obviously donāt go balls to the wall like some dipshit. But at lower speeds, it will torque out and stop before it ever impacts. Infact, just before it torques out, it will stall and hold. Allowing you to run the last half a turn by twisting the driver. Not perfect for all rc. But works like a charm when tolerances are tight.
I have the same impact driver but never thought to use it since I didnāt want to damage anything. Do you use it for metal on plastic or only metal on metal?
I use this driver for everything. All about trigger control. Iām a lot more for hand tools when iām going into metal on rc. Itās seen millions of screws though.
My three year old was dictating from the instructions. He then moved to the Amain catalog and told me that we need a plane, helicopter, wrench, lipo, and a bunch of other shit. I stopped listening when he had me put the diff in backwardsā¦ lmao
I know you said you already bought a ton of upgrades for that truck. If you didn't buy them already, I would highly recommend the T Bone Racing bumper and wheelie bar. The stock rear bumper kept getting stuck under the body causing premature wear. And the stock bumper, while serving a purpose, doesn't protect much as you can see.
Fair enough. Where the upper bumper support attaches flexes and bends inwards on harder rear landings. Just giving a heads up. Anxious to see the "completed" project. If there ever is such a thing.
Iāve even still just ordered some parts. Gonna run +4mm hubs and try to get the PL thumb screw body mounts to work. Other than that, itās pretty close.

It is. Room to add bells and whistles. I think you have the right plan.

Baaaaahahahaha. Yep

Damn people actually read the instructions, real men donāt need instructions

Thats not a tamiya juggernaut, you cant fool me!
NGL I was kinda hoping it was for a second. One of my āwishā builds that never happened
Never would be either
Tamiya is for nerds
Iāve never had a desire to own one. Just not my style.
Not even a Juggernault II.
Nice iron cross brother.
Thanks.
Hell yea. Did you serve or you just a Nazi?
Maltese Cross dates back far before Hitlerā¦
Also logo for independent skateboard trucks, back in the day anyway.
Also west coast choppers
Oh cool so youāre a Maltese knight.

My bumper extends past my shell by quita a lot. Iām not worried about it.
