Nope, sorry no ice cream for you 

I did not have 3mm styrene sheets so I doubled up 1.5mm styrene to make some Haynes books.
First I did this


And this





My hands are now tired so the rest needs to be made another day.
There is 32 books in total to make.

More Haynes books made.
Since there was power line maintenance next to my place, and my computer have no battery currently. The only solution was to spend a couple hours in my mancave since it is still dark ish in living room etc.
My worklight is a 12v led strip and I have fitted deans connector right before my power supply, just in case days like this comes.
Simly connecting a 3s Lipo pack to my lights and I have worklight, whoohooo 
Since all of my three 3s Lipo was in storage mode I used all of them til my lipo alarm kicked in.

Todays result


Think I must make a shelf for these somewhere.
Most likely above the axle stands...

This is a great story or RC ingenuity!  Those batteries have all kinds of uses.  I once used my biggest 3s MaxAmps LiPo to jump start my 1:1 motorcycle which was stranded on the road with a dead battery.  I was able to drive the last 2km home on the LiPo!

Thanks and ditto for your case!

3s is also handy when going to a junkyard/scrap yard to test electric windows etc 
Multimeter leads with probes to a battery connector is all you need..

Think the Escort is the next build I want to finish.
Bodymount system needs to be finalized before I can do the body.
Fox is happy he found a good driveshaft for this project.
