I wanna be Dave
Decided I needed a random projects thread. I'm always wrenching, just not always on crawlers and sometimes there's a project or something cool that doesn't really need it's own thread. Hopefully there some other general RC nuts out there that have an interest in random RC stuff. 
Picked this up a while ago, but haven't really done much with it since cold weather is setting in. Love the body! I had plans to swap the body over on my Sendero, but it works so good I didn't have the heart to tear it down. So i built this up with a few extra hop ups I had laying around. Added some brass, swapped the wheels and detailed it out a bit.
Then I went on a CC01 bender (It's all eddievedder's fault) Finished up my street CC. Stock motor and gears, low ride kit, and some HR parts and a center one-way. Thinking a drift truck. Ready for paint!
Found enough spares to build up a leftover chassis. Not quite sure what I want to do with it yet.
Picked up an X-mas blowout $149 CC01 and the YR complete conversion kit. Keeping this one stock-ish for noodling around the back yard. Didn't even cut the brick off! The YR kit is nice, but the pivot balls suck. Won't even flex on their own... so I eventually replaced them with all Tamiya blue parts. Didn't quite have the stomach for an IFS Defender, so I put on an old Lexan Pajero body that's been collecting dust. I like it! Looks great on the 1.55's
In other news, put a belt conversion on my TT01.
Started messing with an cheap Ebay drifter. Pretty neat chassis.
Finally finished my TC01 chassis. It's looks so damn cool I'm not even sure I want to put the body on!
Built up the $129 Astute I picked up when Tamiya USA was blowing them out. Badass little buggy.
Also working on the Hornet EVO. Had to have it!
Though no wrenching for the next 3 weeks. After 20+ years in the IT industry I've retired and begun a second career as the head cook for the local middle school. Love it, one of the lowest paying, hardest working jobs I've ever had, but working with great people, doing something I enjoy, and get to hug my daughter every day at work. However, kitchen knives are no joke! I compression cut my finger the other morning. Thankfully I was using a duller knife or I would have cleaved my finger in 2. Wrapped it up and kept working all day but eventually went and got it fixed up after work. Being a stubborn ass, I decided to use my RC shop that night to make a 6061 finger guard so I could keep working at 100%. 2 piece and flexes in the middle so I can grab stuff again. Carved "moron guard" into it as a reminder to not be an idiot.

brother, and a little bit more info on the belt conversion for the TT01 plaese. Don't get me started on blowouts, I may have to get that tamiya manta ray I've been seeing
