Re: should i?

Re: My Cascadia build.
rctrucker2, they are definitely button head socket cap screws, and stainless, at that. You'll need a variety of lengths for a Tamiya truck. Best to take a look at the manual and see what lengths...

Re: My Cascadia build.
I will agree with you on the socket head cap screws. They are so much nicer than Phillips head screws. Here's a little tip for you. To ease the pain of threading the screws into the plastic parts,...

Re: Hayes HD dump truck...RCP's style
Nice finishing touches, Reg. Was it standard practice to mount the spare tire to the cab protector? Seems like it would be a pain in the butt to get down from there, unless you just dumped the box....

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
Wow, that's incredible. Are the shiny metal looking parts painted? You had me fooled, and I read that printing with metal was possible.

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
Wow, that's pretty cool. I can see you even 3D printed the bellows of the airbags, but what material are the ends printed from? They look like metal. Nice work.

I'll be sure to say more prayers for Cindy. I thought a little while back she was on her way to recovery, so I'm really sorry to hear things have plateaued a bit. Keep the faith and hang in there.

Re: First build ,cat D11
Great to see the big Cat running around under it's own power. In your videos, I like how it pretty much pushed everything that was in it's way, out of the way. :D It looks like a lot of fun to run.
