Another great day at the Falls. Water wasn't as high this time and we tried out a G6 style course. It was a blast! Helmet continues to get better and better as I tweak and tune on him and my boy's Cherokee just keeps on surprising me.

Few pics of the OG crew at the falls!

I'm loving the box with the fan and snowflake cut-out over the tranny. Looks fab in the water!

Just finished up a "re-build" of Helmet. Poor bastard has been rode hard and put away wet many times over the last few months and he was in need of some TLC.

Tore down the axles, installed a fresh set of Axial OD/UD ring and pinions, replaced several bearings and cleaned and re-lubed those that were still in good shape, and then repacked the axles w/ grease.

Tore the tranny down and replaced the gears w/ steel gears and a Robinsons spool, replaced all the bearings, and then packed it full of grease.

Also rebuilt my good ol' Holmes Hobbies Tourqe Master w/ some fresh brushes and springs. Water is tough on the brushes. Have to replace them often. Re-lubed the bearings and it's ready for another under sea adventure.

Cleaned and re-lubed my MIP drive shafts as well.

KCRC is having a scale GTG at the Falls and Helmet is ready! I'll post up some pics tomorrow!
