Was that a terry pratchett reference?
It's by your employee id card, gotta go on site to swipe card, then you can sneak home. remeber to sneak back in to swipe out!
Thanks, really glad it runs so well, hoping to convert my stl's to vector design drawings and share it all one day.
So I knew the gearing was too long for the larger tyres, new gears on the way, I expected the motor would die from the abuse/heat (the 3d printed motor mount was certainly feeling the heat!) however it hadn't died after 3 or 4 battery pack, so I went for a high speed run, on the plus side it went straight, also on the plus side we get to replace the 20+ year old esc! downside I have to lend little TerraRoot one of my RC's until his parts get here doughtnut video
Cracked the 3mm ball joint out of it, testing it by sending it down playground slides, thought the link would break first but I seem to have over engineered that. !
Well, to expand, I had a cough for three weeks, just could not rest, took a break from work Monday, got steroids and a chat with my psych on Tuesday, so on Wednesday after two days of no ritalin/deep rest and a new pr resting heartbeat (I love health gameifaction) I decided to start back easy with half my normal dose of ritalin and my second max dose of steroids 8x5mg (I think)
It was a lot like that bradley cooper movie, no idea the name, "I can maintain" just got lots done, including dusting off my bike and going for a spin, https://sh.itjust.works/post/20050726
Anyway the rest of day was fine really, I just kinda lay there until 5 in the morning, getting more annoyed about how I've fucked up Thursday just because I couldn't sleep.
I am probably just way overdoing the ritalin at 60mg a day, so 30mg+max adult dose of steroids after two days with no ritalin was stilk too much.
Longer then I like, hate cleaning it, so we only go out when it's dry. I don't live in a very dry place...
I noticed as well early on in the ride that it wasn't as smooth on tiny throttle openings, prettty sure it's related, so some fresh fuel tomorrow and oh no, I'll have to go for another test ride. :D
Stopped for a stretch and a photo, odd she didn't idle, but what harm, 30 years old, nope she had broke down right here, got her going again, no go again next vilage, thinking it's the enforced winter slumber, rode home hard, 240kmh, 13krpm in 5th (not enought space for 6th) and pulled in home and idled like nothing ever went wrong.
The big scoopy sand type ones? I've no TPU and no sand, but we can fix that in the future!

If you stick with basic PLA, terrible, it's quite stiff but brittle, you'll end up making very chunky parts compared to injection molded ABS or even nylon. best middle ground I've found is a PLA+ or PLA tough, still easy to print and flexible enough.
I've only broken two PLA+ prints (that weren't an engeering fail) one's a kitchen press latch that all three kids hung off for dear life, and the other warped from being soaked in petrol.
Suppose the other important thing to note is you're unlikely to be able to print a drop in replacement part, prints need to be aligned for strength and built up a little more around screw holes and pivots, on the other hand you can print shapes that could never be injection molded, ymmv!
It's part of a bymco magazine rc car (you buy a mag and a part every month) my brother built it, then later bought a bag of spares off ebay. Very under built, but it's what I have.
So yeah it's 2mm aluminium.

So my buddy is selling this, it's been sitting 20 years, engine turns over, been stored dry, but plenty of corrosion. Six thousand km on the clock and it's probably true. Tell me I don't want a finicky 250 bhp/ltr explosive powerband impractical smells great does something funny in my pants purple two stroke. I am struggling so hard not to.
Little terraroot decided the paint scheme, I had to limit him to three as he wanted every can in the shed, he didn't do too bad!
Found some nicer bodies, learning some blender as I go
Well, stuck it on, little chassis "cage" fits great, think I'll add some more detail to that and release it, clips and so on, since I lost the hardware to fit the orignal body ha.
Also fiat abarth 131 rally spec ought to look nice with those wheels. or an escort mk2. next!
Hey all, printed stuff ok? this ones a bit of a mess, the model and the print, still I'll tape to a d12 chassis and send it
