• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Started on the rebuild at 7:00 last night.

At 2:30 this was the result. Still have a few things to do and replace, as I found a few more parts that need to be replaced during the rebuild. :/

I need to order.
  • Some steel hollow balls, as the plastic ones suck.
  • Aluminum turnbuckles and tie rods again the stock plastic ones suck.
  • New rear bulkhead the screw holes for mounting the rear shock tower and rear bumper are completely stripped out, I tried to repair them with some ca glue but it didn't work right.
  • Random screws to replace ones that got lost or were missing.
  • New front bumper as I lost mine today, was about 15 min into my bash session before I realized it was gone :(

Also bought some new tires for the Mini Ruckus. ~$10 shipped from China. This thing is pretty quick with the new brushless setup on a 1800mah 25c 3S lipo, haven't clocked it yet but I am guessing about 30-35 mph. I only have one pack through the tires since I put them on and they grip the road a lot better than the stock tires. The rims are kind of crappy, I wasn't expecting much for $10, the chrome is starting to peel off the rim where I glued one of the tires, so I glued it back down and we'll see how it goes.

I bought a drone for some reason, I can't fly it by my house as it is in restricted airspace. I would have to drive 10 miles east or west just to be able to fly it.
 
Pops got me like a 12" drone for xmas that records I only tried it inside once. Kid got a mini one for xmas fits in the palm, dam that thing is hard to control!
 


Took it out for a snow bash today, one of the snow chains flew off and landed someplace, another one came off and lodged itself into the body, I cracked my body in 2 places and half the rear wing broke off.
