Re: LIPO , no juice in 1 cell
I agree. Even if it's an expensive battery pack, it's not worth the risk of trying to save it. The last thing you want to do is burn up a model, or far worse.....

Re: I need radio help please!
Mario, I'm not too familiar with this brand of radio and the programming of them, but is there any chance you flipped a toggle switch that would be tied to a throttle hold function on a helicopter...

Thanks Diesel Demond! I like Peterbilts and Kenworths pretty much equally.
Thanks Stuart! Bigger is better, right? :D

Re: trying to fund a new excavator wondering.
Isn't there a website that sells Bruder models converted into RC hydraulic machines? I'd look to see what one of those models costs, and then plan to sell yours for less. Hard to say what you could...

Re: Bobcat pics
I've never seen one of those bobcats before! Kind of cool. Is that a trail camera or a security camera? Nice resolution and depth of field on those photos.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou, nice work! I like the fact that's not only a totally functional trommel, but it's also a great load for the trucks to haul around. It looks great all set up and running, but it also looks nice...

Re: New KW
Definitely a good looking truck. Proof that you don't need to do a whole lot of bodywork to really improve the realism of the good old King Hauler. I like it, and it looks great in white.

Re: 1950 Kenworth Needlenose
Thanks Big John! Yes, I wanted a sort of old school, retro rod look, mixed in with some modern touches. Kind of like a pro-touring late 60's muscle car. Best of both worlds!
Thanks...

Re: 1950 Kenworth Needlenose
Thanks Craig. Yes, I think they are just about the same diameter. The stacks are 5/8" I.D. so the O.D. probably is 3/4", which is the same O.D. as my air cleaners. A little overkill........maybe. ...

That counterweight is beautiful. It looked like a very clean casting, even before you smoothed and finished it. Great work!

Re: LIPO , no juice in 1 cell
No juice at all? If the bad cell really does read super low, I wouldn't try to revive it. It went bad for a reason. Likely an internal short that drained it. I would be leery of trying to charge...

Not much in the way of BIG updates right now, but I've gone back and made a few little changes, to jazz things up a bit. My original stack mounts looked kind of boring, and I felt like they needed a...

Re: The ultimate car driving simulator!
Seems like a cool, and fun idea, but it also seems to highly over exaggerate the yaw of the vehicle being driven. I've never been in any vehicle that stands on it's nose when you put the brakes on. ...
