Here's some highlight video of the latest event PNWSTE went to. It was shot Jan 25, & 26th at NWMHE Northwest Model Hobby Expo in Monroe Wa. I was very busy with the club, so I didn't get near as much video as I would have liked to!

This man, he caught more of our clubs activities on video than I was able to. Thank-You Justin for a wonderful video!

Here's the biggest hit from 2019, the BLOOPERS footage from PNWSTE's events of the year. With a new job I have an even more chaotic work schedule than before, & only free time has been on the weekends. Between editing video, building my project truck for this years events, & trying to keep up with our clubs Facebook page, I haven't been on this forum much. There are a plethora of videos on my channel besides those posted here, I just wasn't able to post the links to them as they were published.

One more video, a fair honest, NON biased review of the mine haul truck sold on Ali Espress.com from the seller Emo, &/or Faroe. Both are teh same seller, have the same products, & identical pictures of products.

This is NOT the Volvo haul truck that is offered from them!

Here's a teaser video of a project that will soon be completed.

We used JMI airbags, & True Scale suspension parts to make this happen!
The tractor AND trailer will have fully functional air ride suspensions on them! This project took a LOT longer to complete that I estimated it would. We had a LOT of difficulty programming the Graupner radio system for it. So much difficulty, that the Graupner radio is sitting on the shelf in it's case, & a different radio was acquired to run this project! Here's the link to the teaser video

Some progress has been made on the tractor that'll pull the side dump trailer. We've got it running on it's own power, and the lighting & sound system have been installed in it.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
 

Here's a video of the side dump trailer & tractor that we were working on. The truck & trailer have fully functional air ride suspensions. The trailer dump is operated by hydraulics. I still need to paint the truck to match the trailer, add a drop axle to the truck, & add the second exhaust stack.

Here's the latest video released from PNWSTE's gatherings. The PNW police cruiser makes it's video debut.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKZkuJqlTkY

The police car was a corded RC, that has been converted to be a REAL RC car! The original motors were used for the conversion, so it's NOT true hobby grade......YET. Perhaps one of these days I'll get my backlog of RC projects thinned down, & I'll work on making the car more hobby grade. In the mean time, it works alright for what we use it for. This video was filmed at our clubs last gathering of 2019, in October. There was only a small group that gathered for this event, as the weather forecast was predicting rain the afternoon/evening of the event. The weather held off, until 7 PM, then the skies opened up & let the torrential downpour begin.

Here's a fellow PNWSTE members backyard RC playground. There will be a lot more videos of his awesome area to come. On this day, teh club members had the opportunity to see the Bruder excavator that Magomhrc converts to be a hydraulic machine.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
 

Kinda hard to tell, was that a police Mustang?
I'm going to say it needs more flashy lights, but i'm not going to say why yet...

Heh, the rc backlog never really gets caught up does it?

Re: Skeeters contracting service
 

The RC backlog really NEVER does end, & that's a GOOD thing! :D
Yeppes,It's the Boss 302 Mustang cruiser.
It most definitely needs more flashy lights! Perhaps one of these days I'll get around to installing more in it. For now it is functional, but not very bright lights.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
 

It's been a whiel since I've been on here. There have been a few videos added to the YouTube since I was last here. Episodes 5-7 have been uploaded. I'll leave links below for them.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
 

I still need to get my pictured uploaded of the most recent completed projects. We converted a Bruder Mack earlier in this thread. I tried to keep it looking as much like a toy as I could. I recently seen a fellow club members Bruder that he transplanted onto a Tamiya frame. I LOVED how he done it, & asked him if he'd help me with mine. He did the difficult part, & I added the finishing details to the project. We've also completed a New Ray forklift conversion. There's a LOT planned, but so little time to get it all finished right now.

Re: Skeeters contracting services
 

Here's the ONLY photo I can find at this moment, of the converted Bruder Mack. The truck was painted & the decals for a local construction company were added. The truck is a near identical copy of the trucks they have. Eventually I'd like to build a pup trailer for this truck. The one thin g different is the PNWSTE decal that can be seen on the box of the truck, they obviously DON'T have them on their trucks.

I just found the other pics. I'll toss this one up here to give a glimpse at the rear of it.

This week's video, PNWSTE club member Dan talks about the tracked loader that he bought on AliExpress, from the Faroe store. He gives us a honest review of the machine, & the upgrades that he has made to the machine to make it a usable piece of equipment.

Goodson's Hobbies did a FANTASTIC job designing this trailer! I'm thankful that they made these STL files open sourced. Here's a video of their AWESOME 3D printed traffic control trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yQxmrqiM4c&t=166s

Re: Skeeters contracting services
 

I FINALLY got the roadside fuel display unit made for the RC playground! This thing was a blast to make, but took a plethora of printing time.

SPECIAL THANKS TO Renngarage on thingiverse.com for providing the STL files to make this project possible!
