Hera is together.
The bec harness and bypass adapters are all hooked up and the servos work great.
Now I just need to instal the pan hard and she's ready to run... aside from a few details. I'm thinking of going CMS on the rear too.

Looks good Johnny.

[johnnyh66]

Thanks Neil, I tried to make it as small as I could...

I am going to switch everything to Deans once I get my new iron.
I can't believe how much easier they are to solder than Traxxas plugs, even the action of plugging in and unplugging is so much easier!
And, they're a third of the size!

Haha.. Johnny!!! Why!!

[johnnyh66]

Only to prevent the giant ball of metal from tearing through the electrical tape!

DL, jump in the car and come party!

[johnnyh66]

I've got $80 worth of wings coming!

[JHTreyIII]

Will there be any of these coming?

[johnnyh66]

We have a staircase

hehehe, you're 8 years to late!
There will be a few single women but not like in the old days... I used to only invite women, the guys show up no matter what!

I did invite a superhottieboombody from work, she's a fan of the micro skirt and I'm a fan of her in one... she said she was coming. We'll see.

I can act as a witness to say it actually runs...

I spent a day making sliders for my TF2 and got so frustrated that I ended up throwing one across the room. Not being able to mount to a flat bar like a honcho and straight out to the sliders made brazing a real bitch. I needed 6 hands.

SO, I tossed all the work I had done and started over with solid stock and welded it all. Got the sliders made and need to start on the mounts.

[johnnyh66]

I need to install Hera's front pan hard bar and finish Melons' 4th tire... and that's about it, aside from Hera's rats nest of wiring!

[badhoopty]

trying to get ambition to dig into the pink wraith's elecs and add a winch... its just not happening. ;)

tf2 is far from done but coming along nicely.

too many projects.

[neillarson]

So Jason, you got the GT3B all figured out now? Mine shipped today. I got a couple 3 channel RXs and a couple 6 channel RXs and I know that I am going to need some help.

off the top of my head no, but i have it setup. the menu kinda sucks, but its a hack... its easy to follow through while looking at the hack thread.

i need to update the firmware and i have no idea about it. gotta boot up the pc and see if i can figure it out.

i can notice a drop in either response or resolution compared to the spektrum or futaba but its fine for a cheap radio with momentary switches. ;)

[badhoopty]

well my old pc died... just makes a click sound when i try to boot it up... grrr. if anybody has an older laptop with newish windows software i might be interested.

got the wraith all re-wired up good enough for this weekend. all i can say is the 3racing winches SUCK... i sure hope if i have to winch its nothing serious, i'll use a snatch strap but then it will slow down the already snail slow winch speed...

i did however, find a killer, super duper homebrew yet clean way to mount a 3racing winch to a wraith.

and.... over the weekend i happened to stumble on something i couldnt pass up.

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/sale/...ller-sold.html

the price was a steal just for the parts, but it looks like it might be a pretty decently built rig.

[neillarson]

I just got my 3Racing winch in my Wraith. I used the MG200 bumper and really like it.

I also added this and really like how it keeps the front end clear.

Wraith Electronics Tray

i won one of those in a giveaway. maybe when i revamp the wraith i'll use it.

i'll take a pic of my winch 'mount' when i get home tonight. no mods to the chassis, just the 3racing winch mount. remarkably easy... maybe too easy.
