I "erased" all the defects.

Manwhalo · 01-01-2007, 03:11 PM

A little progress. I still have new rims to narrow with new Moabs to put on. Hopefully get to those this week.

Gratuitis flex shot.

Got the electronics mounted. I still need a different battery and I need to figure out what to do with the attena.
It crawls great. Tom should be coming over later with the vid-cam.:-P

Trikster · 01-01-2007, 11:26 PM

I think you need to show me how to braze...I want to learn. Where did you pick up the Safty-Silv?

I bought the Safety-Silv from Airgas 199 Cirby Way, #10,
Roseville, CA 95678 not far from your home.

I am by no means an expert at brazing but, I would gladly show you how to do it. Buy the stuff (I'm not sharing mine, $$$), and we will get to it. I have plenty of scrap tubing for practice though.

looks good Man. I dig the paint color. that safety silv is def. the way to go. Can't wait to see it at the next crawl.

TheROOSTER · 01-02-2007, 08:27 AM

Looks awesome. Wish my first build was that good.

RCholic · 01-02-2007, 06:12 PM

Let me think about it. I have no idea what this thing would be worth.

Trikster · 01-03-2007, 07:45 PM

Before I saw the video I was thinking it worth maybe $6 and a handfull of pocket lint, but now I am not so sure.

It seems to do real well.
