Ended my son in law mud blaster2.

Found this old HO loco to.

And finaly rewired the blitzer beetle roof rack. Front lights need rewire to.

Nice Flo!! Another Brat on the road! 

A rare mud blaster 2 . Full bearings, new transmission gearbox 17t motor esc 2,4 flysky radio and 3003 servo and 2 4600 nimh aqs. My son in law will be happy. And tiny touch, pilot and copilot dad and son.

He sure will be happy!! You might consider a set of wings while you are at it! Sounds like its gonna be fast!! 

Progress has been slow, but ongoing.....  Started putting together lighting for the Lunchbox.  Have also finished off the body & decals.

As it will have front lights and neons, and I now have three body shells for it, i decided the lights needed to be easy to swap around for different colour schemes.  So deciding a PCB with JST connectors give the simplest way to mix 'n match.  Also decided to add in a 5V regulator, as it just makes life easier as it removes any problem with voltage spikes, or drops under load.  The LED will always shine bright.

 


The Ragga Van will get green neons, which are looking very radioactive.

I hope that it will be enough fast for him.  But not too much. It's his first rc....

Haven't done much today, had to take my Dad to Eye A&E and I have my Grandson over.  Managed to print a scale jerry can on the printer. Came out well and didnt take long. 

 

Technically not today (was yesterday, but worth to share), I was with my son to join a Facebook french group related to Vintage RC and participated to animation in a show in Chambery, (Savoie, France). There was an indoor track, with two optional jumps... Every hour, the first 15 minutes was for a RC school animation, where we taught kids the rudiments of RC cars, having our cars ran by the kids...That was fun and put the car catchers to difficult times .And beside the rc school, we had the track for ourselves the rest of the day... We put it to good use My son lunchbox had a broken part at the end of the difficult day (my son was taking pleasure to take both jumps all the times), and we repaired this in 10 minutes when back home... Overall a good and fun day, with kids going back to their parents with opened eyes by their rc experience... And lot of parents asking about how to start, and what is needed to start :-D
