Default Help with what I can do cheap to stay busy



So hey gang I went in for a outpatient procedure ended up having a reaction to the sedation and now can’t use my left leg I have no feeling in it and it won’t hold me up
So I will be going to a rehab hospital and my wife got it approved for her to take Genny Blue for me to work on in my free time to stay busy
So what are so things I can do to her for very low cost as I will be in a long time so will be doing as many small updates as I can
When the weather breaks they said that I will be able to have my wife charge my battery then take me outside to run her some
So free or low cost thing I can do figure I can spend like $60 each month while I am in I have to save some funds for my drinks and snacks l

that sucks it seems the doctors screw up more than they fix they keep wanting to cut me open and play with my hart im like i would rather die first damb it any way you could clear the windows mostly free mod i relocated your panhard bar and braced the lower panhard mount to the upper links on the axle it will save your axle housing and link mount from stripping out you just need a longer screw and a rod end vary cheap extend the rear axle so the wheels line up in the wheel wells you can takenthe foams out of the tires for more grip lower the shocks for a better ride hight the new skid plate is cheap you could upgrade to the new axle housings also cheap metal transmission gears are cheap

in all honesty you should get a micro crawler mine got so much use after my stroke i killed 5 lipos in a month that thing was running for almost 10 hours a day you can make a course out of blankets and pillows and its vary easy to change up if you get board you dont even have to get out of bed

Hobbywing 1080 esc, took me a little while to get that done on mine and it made a huge difference, they’re like 40 bucks, or find you some cheap shocks on amazon, they also make a bump steer correction kit it doesn’t cost much

I took the front fenders and that little brace off to do the front lights but on the tail lights I just took the housing out it was a screw on top and bottom and just installed leds in the housing and put it back on the body, you might can do that for front too idk

If you go with mytrickrc the instruction manual hard as all get out to find so here’s my help

While I've never done it myself, I do believe the process of making the windows clear can take a bit of time, but doesn't require much money. Perhaps by avoiding chemicals and just using fine-grain sandpaper?

You could get some new tires and trim/mod/size them. That would take some time. Or trim your tire foams to your liking.
