Going with the seasons.....
As this summers Canadian Rc season comes to an end I can't help but wonder how to get through the winter.
   I don't want to have an all out new build on the kitchen table again but want to do something when it hit me.... Just like the real rigs, after logging some miles, it's time for Maintenance! The new winter plan for S&M trucking is some truck TLC! This winter will be, pull the tranny's, inspect and lube. Inspect axles and lube. While I'm at it, I want to lock the rear axles for better drive. Continue wiring lights on trailer fleet......that should get me through till spring  Mario

Re: Going with the seasons.....
The way I see it that will only take you through till the end of October leaving you with a few more months to start and finish another project...Just my 2 cents

Re: Going with the seasons.....
It sounds like a good plan to me Mario. Susan should be able to participate in the maintenance too.
Be safe and have fun folks.  - RCT

Re: Going with the seasons.....
Mario, since your a lot farther north than I am and I expect the white stuff
to start falling in a month or so and with all that new road you laid this summer I would think you would need some winter road maintenance equipment!  Since you probably don't want to run your current fleet in the snow you need to build a couple of beaters to run the winter roads . Some how with all that maintenance work on the exsisting fleet and the suggested new builds I'd say you should be pretty set for the winter months, no boredom there!

I'm also trying to convince my neighbour and good friend to install my fuel furnace in his large, insulated but not heated garage. All I'm asking in return is enough space for me to set up my little Rc shop If that happens, it's gonna be a great winter of building Quote:
