Got it running.. needs some tweaking, steering and throttle. The tailgate interferes with the back glass so I need to figure that out.

Needs some touch up paint. I ordered different sliders for it, ones that will tuck up to the body better. Still need to install the mini "GoPro" in it and also hook up the lights.

I stumbled back into the RC game. Picked up a 1/30 scale and 1/18 scale. Although the 1/18 scale is big. I already ordered a shitload of upgrades for the 1/30 scale. The 1/18 has 4WS which is kinda cool. I’ll upgrade it later, I did order some new “King” shocks for it as well as some bigger 2S lipo batteries.
And a 1/43 scale Hunicorn which drifts awesome!!

Little Apache 2800 case to hold the SCX30. I also have gone completely overboard on upgrade parts for the SCX30... basically every single thing that can be... was ordered. It should all be here by Monday. So rather than upgrade this one, I am just going to make a second one. I ordered a controller for it. its going to have a rock bouncer style cage/body on it. Similar to the 18th scale crawler above.

Swapped out the shocks on the 1/18th scale buggy. I think they shipped the shocks via bicycle courier, took a while to show up.

Started on the 1/30 scale. Fuck this thing. Parts are so tiny! It took me an hour or more to assemble those rear links and get those 2 installed. I only have one corner done. But I will do all 4. I also have a brushless motor/esc for it.

I ordered some of those jeweler magnifying glasses with lights. Waiting for my thumbs to heal before I try them. LOL

New body for the 1/18 crawler. I want to sand it down a little, it was 3D printed so there are some lines. Paint it but not sure on color yet.

It is a brushless setup but the thing is hyper sensitive. A new brushless motor and ESC is on the short list.

torque rear links to 2/185 inch pounds lol Looks good, I don't have the patience for something like that!

Oh I tried to get my daughter to help assemble these things. Her hands are much smaller, much younger and much more agile. She tried for about 10,, maybe 15 minutes and she told me I was an idiot. Well ok, not that, but it was the theme of the message. Basically she said I was on my own with this one.

She was a lot more helpful before she became a teenager.
